[racket-users] Help with vector-sort

[greadey]

Hi there,

I have written a programme to compute a bootstrapped mean etc.  I 
successfully wrote it using lists both untyped and in typed/racket.
I am interested in optimising the code and having seen that typed racket 
performs faster (for lists) I am interested in seeing if I get a 
performance increase using vectors in both typed and untyped code.
In order to compute the median value as well as certain percentiles it is 
necessary to sort the samples.  My specific problem is using vector-sort.  
I have got round it by using vector->list and list->vector functions and 
using the list sort function.
If I use vector-sort typed racket keeps telling me to use "require/typed".  
I got a function definition to compile  (:sort-myvector : (Vectorof Flonum) 
(Flonum Flonum -> Boolean) -> (Vectorof Flonum))
I'm not sure if that is exactly right but it was something similar, however 
it did not work.  I did add a "require/typed racket/vector" to the 
expression.
So, how can I use vector-sort in typed racket code, and can anyone tell me 
if translating vectors to lists and back again actually introduces a 
performance hit? 
Here is my code for reference
/
#lang typed/racket

(require math/flonum)
(require racket/vector)
(require math/statistics)

Here is an example of how to use `vector-sort` from a typed/racket program:

#lang typed/racket
(require/typed racket/vector
  [vector-sort (-> (Vectorof Any) (-> Any Any Boolean) (Vectorof Any))])

(define (compare x y)
  (if (and (real? x) (real? y))
  (< x y)
  (error 'compare "expected two real numbers, got: ~a ~a" x y)))

(vector-sort (vector 3 1 5 2) compare)

Re: [racket-users] How to convert String to Integer

['John Clements' via Racket Users]

Did anyone suggest this code to you? Apologies if I’m re-treading an old 
conversation.

#lang typed/racket
(: string2value (-> String Integer))
(define (string2value str)
  (define maybe-integer (string->number str))
  (cond [(exact-integer? maybe-integer) maybe-integer]
[else (error 'string2value
 "expected a string convertible to an integer, got: ~e"
 str)]))


Best,

John Clements

I like `assert` for those situations: it fails immediately if anything goes
wrong, and it uses a predicate, so it corresponds well to the `?` pattern.
(It can also perform better.)

Re: [racket-users] cast on mutable hash table...

['John Clements' via users-redirect]

Yes, I’ll add this. It slightly increases the pain density, especially since I 
think students likely to mistakenly write

(list (? symbol? #{s : Symbol}) …)

instead of the correct

(list (? symbol? #{s : (Listof Symbol)}) …)

… but it’s probably better than having to cast.

Thanks!

John

Re: [racket-users] cast on mutable hash table...

['John Clements' via users-redirect]

Yes, absolutely. One reason that students in my class wind up using cast quite 
frequently in their parsers is that they use patterns like (list (? symbol s) 
…) which (as I recall) expand into unannotated lambda’s, and always require a 
cast. I write that up here:

https://www.brinckerhoff.org/clements/2202-csc430/Assignments/tr-notes.html#%28part._.Predicate_.Patterns_with_.Dot-dot-dot%29

Beyond that, though, I tell them never to use cast:

https://www.brinckerhoff.org/clements/2202-csc430/Assignments/tr-notes.html#%28part._.Other_.Casting%29

The text I came up with for mutable hash tables is here:

Re: [racket-users] Rolling dice game

Have you taken a look at How To Design Programs? At the end of section one, you 
should have what you need to build these games and others like them:

Re: [racket-users] Questions on a very simple class

When i try typed/racket :
#lang typed/racket
(define (integerclass x)
  (define (getx) x)
  (define (setx! [x_new : Integer]) (set! x x_new))
  (define (add [y : integerclass]) : integerclass (integerclass (+ 1 (y 
'getx
  (lambda (message . args)
(case message
((getx)  (apply getxargs))
((setx!) (apply setx!   args))
((add)   (apply add args))
  (else (error "POINT: Unknown message ->" message)

(define (myprint x) (print x)(newline))
(define p1 (integerclass 1))
(myprint (p1 'getx))
(define p2 (integerclass 2))
(myprint (p2 'getx))
(define p3 (p1 'add p2))
(myprint (p3 'getx))

I receive the errors,
On the line:
(define (add [y : integerclass]) : integerclass (integerclass (+ x (y 
'getx
4 errors :
Type Checker: parse error in type; type name `integerclass' is unbound in:

On the line :

Error :Type Checker: Bad arguments to function in `apply': Domain:

Other apply lines produce same errors.

[racket-users] Questions on a very simple class

[Alain De Vos]

Following code makes an "integerclass" with an "add" method :

#lang racket
(define (integerclass x)
  (define (getx)  x)
  (define (setx! x_new) (set! x x_new))
  (define (add y)(integerclass (+ x (y 'getx
  (lambda (message . args)
(case message
((getx)  (apply getxargs))
((setx!) (apply setx!   args))
((add)   (apply add args))
  (else (error "POINT: Unknown message ->" message)

(define (myprint x) (print x)(newline))
(define p1 (integerclass 1))
(myprint (p1 'getx))
(define p2 (integerclass 2))
(myprint (p2 'getx))
(define p3 (p1 'add p2))
(myprint (p3 'getx))

Question 1 : can this code be inproved, are there "better patterns" one can 
you.
Question 2 : can i modify this code to use typed/racket. I tried but failed 
on the "apply" method in the code.

Re: [racket-users] Questions on a very simple class

[Sage Gerard]

1. If the intention is to create a class, then I'd use the class form.

https://docs.racket-lang.org/reference/createclass.html#%28form._%28%28lib._racket%2Fprivate%2Fclass-internal..rkt%29._class%2A%29%29

Not that there's anything overtly wrong with using a closure, but common 
validation tasks re: inheritance, overriding, etc. all have to be done by hand 
here.

2. What specific error message did you get?
