### chunk
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Chunks an array into smaller lists of a specified size.
Uses `range` to create a list of desired size. Then use `map` on this list and fill it with splices of `arr`.
```py
from math import ceil
def chunk(arr, size):
return list(
map(lambda x: arr[x * size:x * size + size],
list(range(0, ceil(len(arr) / size)))))
```
View Examples
```py
chunk([1,2,3,4,5],2) # [[1,2],[3,4],5]
```

### compact
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Removes falsey values from a list.
Use `filter()` to filter out falsey values (False, None, 0, and "").
```py
def compact(arr):
return list(filter(lambda x: bool(x), arr))
```
View Examples
```py
compact([0, 1, False, 2, '', 3, 'a', 's', 34]) # [ 1, 2, 3, 'a', 's', 34 ]
```

### count_by
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
:information_source: Already implemented via `collections.Counter`
Groups the elements of a list based on the given function and returns the count of elements in each group.
Use `map()` to map the values of the list using the given function. Iterate over the map and increase the the elements count each time it occurs.
```py
def count_by(arr, fn=lambda x: x):
key = {}
for el in map(fn, arr):
key[el] = 0 if not el in key else key[el]
key[el] += 1
return key
```
View Examples
```py
from math import floor
count_by([6.1, 4.2, 6.3], floor) # {4: 1, 6: 2}
count_by(['one', 'two', 'three'], len) # {3: 2, 5: 1}
```

### count_occurences
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
:information_source: Already implemented via `list.count()`.
Counts the occurrences of a value in an list.
Uses the `reduce` functin from built-in module `functools` to increment a counter each time you encounter the specific value inside the list.
```py
from functools import reduce
def count_occurences(arr, val):
return reduce(
(lambda x, y: x + 1 if y == val and type(y) == type(val) else x + 0),
arr)
```

### deep_flatten
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin), [Meet Zaveri](https://www.github.com/meetzaveri)
Deep flattens a list.
Use recursion. Use `list.extend()` with an empty array (`result`) and the spread function to flatten a list. Recursively flatten each element that is a list.
```py
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def deep_flatten(arr):
result = []
result.extend(
spread(list(map(lambda x: deep_flatten(x) if type(x) == list else x, arr))))
return result
```
View Examples
```py
deep_flatten([1, [2], [[3], 4], 5]) # [1,2,3,4,5]
```

### difference
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Returns the difference between two arrays.
Create a `set` from `b`, then use list comprehension to only keep values not contained in `b`
```py
def difference(a, b):
b = set(b)
return [item for item in a if item not in b]
```
View Examples
```py
difference([1, 2, 3], [1, 2, 4]) # [3]
```

### difference_by
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Returns the difference between two list, after applying the provided function to each list element of both.
Create a `set` by applying `fn` to each element in `b`, then use list comprehension in combination with fn on a to only keep values not contained in the previously created `set`.
```py
def difference_by(a, b, fn):
b = set(map(fn, b))
return [item for item in a if fn(item) not in b]
```
View Examples
```py
from math import floor
difference_by([2.1, 1.2], [2.3, 3.4],floor) # [1.2]
difference_by([{ 'x': 2 }, { 'x': 1 }], [{ 'x': 1 }], lambda v : v['x']) # [ { x: 2 } ]

### insertion_sort
Author:- [Meet Zaveri](https://www.github.com/meetzaveri)
Contributors:-[Meet Zaveri](https://www.github.com/meetzaveri), [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
On a very basic level, an insertion sort algorithm contains the logic of shifting around and inserting elements in order to sort an unordered list of any size. The way that it goes about inserting elements, however, is what makes insertion sort so very interesting!
```py
def insertion_sort(arr):
for i in range(1, len(arr)):
key = arr[i]
j = i - 1
while j >= 0 and key < arr[j]:
arr[j + 1] = arr[j]
j -= 1
arr[j + 1] = key
```
View Examples
```py
arr = [7,4,9,2,6,3]
insertionsort(arr)
print('Sorted %s' %arr) # sorted [2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9]
```

### shuffle
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
:information_source: The same algorithm is already implemented via `random.shuffle`.
Randomizes the order of the values of an list, returning a new list.
Uses the [Fisher-Yates algorithm](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fisher%E2%80%93Yates_shuffle) to reorder the elements of the list.
```py
from copy import deepcopy
from random import randint
def shuffle(arr):
temp_arr = deepcopy(arr)
m = len(temp_arr)
while (m):
m -= 1
i = randint(0, m)
temp_arr[m], temp_arr[i] = temp_arr[i], temp_arr[m]
return temp_arr
```
View Examples
```py
foo = [1,2,3]
shuffle(foo) # [2,3,1] , foo = [1,2,3]
```
:arrow_up: Back to top
### spread
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Implements javascript's `[].concat(...arr)`. Flattens the list(non-deep) and returns an list.
```py
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
```
View Examples
```py
spread([1,2,3,[4,5,6],[7],8,9]) # [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
```

### zip
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
:information_source: Already implemented via `itertools.zip_longest()`
Creates a list of elements, grouped based on the position in the original lists.
Use `max` combined with `list comprehension` to get the length of the longest list in the arguments. Loops for `max_length` times grouping elements. If lengths of `lists` vary `fill_value` is used. By default `fill_value` is `None`.
```py
def zip(*args, fillvalue=None):
max_length = max([len(arr) for arr in args])
result = []
for i in range(max_length):
result.append([
args[k][i] if i < len(args[k]) else None for k in range(len(args))
])
return result
```
View Examples
```py
zip(['a', 'b'], [1, 2], [True, False]) # [['a', 1, True], ['b', 2, False]]
zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False]) # [['a', 1, True], [None, 2, False]]
zip(['a'], [1, 2], [True, False], fill_value = '_') # [['a', 1, True], ['_', 2, False]]

## :heavy_division_sign: Math
### average
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
:information_source: Already implemented via `statistics.mean`. `statistics.mean` takes an array as an argument whereas this function takes variadic arguments.
Returns the average of two or more numbers.
Takes the sum of all the `args` and divides it by `len(args)`. The secind argument `0.0` in sum is to handle floating point division in `python2`.
```py
def average(*args):
return sum(args, 0.0) / len(args)
```
View Examples
```py
average(*[1, 2, 3]) # 2.0
average(1, 2, 3) # 2.0
```

### factorial
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Calculates the factorial of a number.
Use recursion. If `num` is less than or equal to `1`, return `1`. Otherwise, return the product of `num` and the factorial of `num - 1`. Throws an exception if `num` is a negative or a floating point number.
```py
def factorial(num):
if not ((num >= 0) & (num % 1 == 0)):
raise Exception(
f"Number( {num} ) can't be floating point or negative ")
return 1 if num == 0 else num * factorial(num - 1)
```

### gcd
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin), [cclauss][@cclauss]
:information_source: `math.gcd` works with only two numbers
Calculates the greatest common divisor between two or more numbers/lists.
The `helperGcdfunction` uses recursion. Base case is when `y` equals `0`. In this case, return `x`. Otherwise, return the GCD of `y` and the remainder of the division `x/y`.
Uses the reduce function from the inbuilt module `functools`. Also defines a method `spread` for javascript like spreading of lists.
```py
from functools import reduce
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def gcd(*args):
numbers = []
numbers.extend(spread(list(args)))
def _gcd(x, y):
return x if not y else gcd(y, x % y)
return reduce((lambda x, y: _gcd(x, y)), numbers)
```

### lcm
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Returns the least common multiple of two or more numbers.
Use the `greatest common divisor (GCD)` formula and the fact that `lcm(x,y) = x * y / gcd(x,y)` to determine the least common multiple. The GCD formula uses recursion.
Uses `reduce` function from the inbuilt module `functools`. Also defines a method `spread` for javascript like spreading of lists.
```py
from functools import reduce
def spread(arg):
ret = []
for i in arg:
if isinstance(i, list):
ret.extend(i)
else:
ret.append(i)
return ret
def lcm(*args):
numbers = []
numbers.extend(spread(list(args)))
def _gcd(x, y):
return x if not y else _gcd(y, x % y)
def _lcm(x, y):
return x * y / _gcd(x, y)
return reduce((lambda x, y: _lcm(x, y)), numbers)
```

```py
lcm(12, 7) # 84
lcm([1, 3, 4], 5) # 60

### max_n
Author:- [Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Contributors:-[Rohit Tanwar](https://www.github.com/kriadmin)
Returns the `n` maximum elements from the provided list. If `n` is greater than or equal to the provided list's length, then return the original list(sorted in descending order).
Use `list.sort()` combined with the `deepcopy` function from the inbuilt `copy` module to create a shallow clone of the list and sort it in ascending order and then use `list.reverse()` reverse it to make it descending order. Use `[:n]` to get the specified number of elements. Omit the second argument, `n`, to get a one-element array
```py
from copy import deepcopy
def max_n(arr, n=1):
numbers = deepcopy(arr)
numbers.sort()
numbers.reverse()
