用各种列表结构解决这个问题最简单的方法就是把它分成两部分
1) 展平然后列出 - 这会产生一个没有子列表的正确列表
; if you use Racket, you can use the build-in flatten procedure
; otherwise this one should do
(define (flatten expr)
(let loop ((expr expr) (res '()))
(cond
((empty? expr) res)
((pair? expr) (append (flatten (car expr)) (flatten (cdr expr))))
(else (cons expr res)))))
2)找到这个正确列表的所有唯一成员
(define (unique-atoms lst)
(let loop ((lst (flatten lst)) (res '()))
(if (empty? lst)
(reverse res)
(let ((c (car lst)))
(loop (cdr lst) (if (member c res) res (cons c res)))))))
测试:
; unit test - Racket specific
(module+ test
(require rackunit)
(check-equal? (unique-atoms '(a (b) b ((c)) (a (b)))) '(a b c))
(check-equal? (unique-atoms '(a (b) b ((c . q)) (a (b . d)))) '(a b c q d))
(check-equal? (unique-atoms '(a . a)) '(a))
(check-equal? (unique-atoms '(a b (a b) ((((a)))))) '(a b))
(check-equal? (unique-atoms '()) '()))
