Hi,
As a struggling newbie, I've started to try various exercises in order
to improve. I decided to try the latest Ruby Quiz
(http://www.rubyquiz.com/quiz131.html) in Haskell. Would someone be kind
enough to cast their eye over my code? I get the feeling there's a
better way of doing it!
subarrays :: [a] -> [[a]]
subarrays [] = [[]]
subarrays xs = (sa xs) ++ subarrays (tail xs)
where sa xs = [ys | n <- [1..length xs], ys <- [(take n xs)]]
maxsubarrays :: [Integer] -> [Integer]
maxsubarrays xs = msa [] (subarrays xs)
where
msa m [] = m
msa m (x:xs)
| sum x > sum m = msa x xs
| otherwise = msa m xs
--for testing: should return [2, 5, -1, 3]
main = maxsubarrays [-1, 2, 5, -1, 3, -2, 1]
I've read tutorials about the syntax of Haskell, but I can't seem to
find any that teach you how to really "think" in a Haskell way. Is there
anything (books, online tutorials, exercises) that anyone could recommend?
Thanks,
James
