Cantor set

Revision as of 17:25, 16 April 2019 by Hout (talk | contribs) (→‎Functional Python: Pylinted second functional version for Python 3, added {Works with} tag)
Cantor set is a draft programming task. It is not yet considered ready to be promoted as a complete task, for reasons that should be found in its talk page.

Draw Cantor set. See details: Cantor set

Cantor ternary intervals rendered both as lists of ratio pairs, and as graphic bars. In the case of languages like Javascript which lack a built-in Ratio type, or standard Fraction/Ratio library, rendering stages of the set elaboration as lists of fraction pairs may take more work than rendering them as graphic lines.

  1. concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]

def concatMap(f):

   A concatenated list over which a function has been mapped.
      The list monad can be derived by using a function f which
      wraps its output in a list,
      (using an empty list to represent computational failure).

       chain.from_iterable(map(f, xs))

   An infinite list of repeated
      applications of f to x.

This REXX program makes use of   linesize   REXX program (or BIF) which is used to determine the screen width (or linesize) of the terminal (console).

Some REXXes don't have this BIF, so the   linesize.rex   REXX program is included here   ──►   LINESIZE.REX.
