Selecting some lists from a list of lists












1















I would like to have some lists from a list of lists under a certain condition. For example:



`((a w) (e w))`


from



`((a w) (e w) (i u) (o u))`


where the condition is to have 'w in the second position.



My code



(filter (andmap (equal? (cdr lst) 'w)) 'lst)



with



(define lst '((a w) (e w) (i u) (o u)))



is not working. What am I doing wrong?






scheme nested-lists

    Start with writing a predicate that works with one list element – that is, a procedure p such that (p '(a w)) is #t and (p '(i u)) is #f. Then use that. (andmap is of no use here.)

You should not quote the list: 'lst is not the same as lst. And to access the second element, use second (if that's not defined, use cadr instead). With cdr you get the rest of the list (which is another list), not its second element. Oh, and filter expects a lambda as its first argument, not andmap. This is what I mean:



(define lst '((a w) (e w) (i u) (o u)))

(filter (lambda (sl) (equal? (second sl) 'w))

        lst)

=> '((a w) (e w))

            How to change which sound is reproduced for terminal bell?

            Image
            3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

            Title Spacing in Bjornstrup Chapter, Removing Chapter Number From Contents

            Image
            up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title. I would also like to remove the large "0" in the contents title.
