Miranda (programming Language) - Sample Code

Sample Code

The following Miranda script determines the set of all subsets of a set of numbers

subsets = ] subsets (x:xs) = ++ y | y <- ys] ++ ys where ys = subsets xs

and this is a literate script for a function primes which gives the list of all prime numbers

> || The infinite list of all prime numbers, by the sieve of Eratosthenes. The list of potential prime numbers starts as all integers from 2 onwards; as each prime is returned, all the following numbers that can exactly be divided by it are filtered out of the list of candidates. > primes = sieve > sieve (p:x) = p : sieve

Famous quotes containing the words sample and/or code:

    “All that a city will ever allow you is an angle on it—an oblique, indirect sample of what it contains, or what passes through it; a point of view.”
    —Peter Conrad (b. 1948)

    “Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
