%%	append(+ListOfLists, ?List)
%
%	Concatenate a list of lists.  Is  true   if  Lists  is a list of
%	lists, and List is the concatenation of these lists.
%	
%	@param	ListOfLists must be a list of -possibly- partial lists

%   delete(List, Elem, Residue)
%   is true when List is a list, in which Elem may or may not occur, and
%   Residue is a copy of List with all elements identical to Elem deleted.

delete([], _, []).
delete([Head|List], Elem, Residue) :-
	Head == Elem, !,
	delete(List, Elem, Residue).
delete([Head|List], Elem, [Head|Residue]) :-
	delete(List, Elem, Residue).


%   last(List, Last)
%   is true when List is a List and Last is identical to its last element.
%   This could be defined as last(L, X) :- append(_, [X], L).

last([H|List], Last) :-
	last(List, H, Last).

last([], Last, Last).
last([H|List], _, Last) :-
	last(List, H, Last).

%   nextto(X, Y, List)
%   is true when X and Y appear side-by-side in List.  It could be written as
%	nextto(X, Y, List) :- append(_, [X,Y,_], List).
%   It may be used to enumerate successive pairs from the list.

nextto(X,Y, [X,Y|_]).
nextto(X,Y, [_|List]) :-
	nextto(X,Y, List).

%   nth0(?N, +List, ?Elem) is true when Elem is the Nth member of List,
%   counting the first as element 0.  (That is, throw away the first
%   N elements and unify Elem with the next.)  It can only be used to
%   select a particular element given the list and index.  For that
%   task it is more efficient than nmember.
%   nth(+N, +List, ?Elem) is the same as nth0, except that it counts from
%   1, that is nth(1, [H|_], H).

	generate_nth(I1, IN, List, El).



%   nth0(+N, ?List, ?Elem, ?Rest) unifies Elem with the Nth element of List,
%   counting from 0, and Rest with the other elements.  It can be used
%   to select the Nth element of List (yielding Elem and Rest), or to 
%   insert Elem before the Nth (counting from 1) element of Rest, when
%   it yields List, e.g. nth0(2, List, c, [a,b,d,e]) unifies List with
%   [a,b,c,d,e].  nth is the same except that it counts from 1.  nth
%   can be used to insert Elem after the Nth element of Rest.

%   permutation(List, Perm)
%   is true when List and Perm are permutations of each other.  Of course,
%   if you just want to test that, the best way is to keysort/2 the two
%   lists and see if the results are the same.  Or you could use list_to_bag
%   (from BagUtl.Pl) to see if they convert to the same bag.  The point of
%   perm is to generate permutations.  The arguments may be either way round,
%   the only effect will be the order in which the permutations are tried.
%   Be careful: this is quite efficient, but the number of permutations of an
%   N-element list is N!, even for a 7-element list that is 5040.

%   same_length(?List1, ?List2)
%   is true when List1 and List2 are both lists and have the same number
%   of elements.  No relation between the values of their elements is
%   implied.
%   Modes same_length(-,+) and same_length(+,-) generate either list given
%   the other; mode same_length(-,-) generates two lists of the same length,
%   in which case the arguments will be bound to lists of length 0, 1, 2, ...

        select(Elem, List, Rest0), !,
        Rest = Rest0.


%   select(?Element, ?Set, ?Residue)
%   is true when Set is a list, Element occurs in Set, and Residue is
%   everything in Set except Element (things stay in the same order).

select(Element, [Element|Rest], Rest).
select(Element, [Head|Tail], [Head|Rest]) :-

%   are replaced by elements Y in the YList.

	substitute2(XList, X, Y, YList).
