Sliding window over seq
I didn't know partition
could do this so I implemented it this way
(defn sliding-window [seq length]
(loop [result ()
remaining seq]
(let [chunk (take length remaining)]
(if (< (count chunk) length)
(reverse result)
(recur (cons chunk result) (rest remaining))))))
I think that partition with step 1 does it:
user=> (partition 3 1 [3 1 4 1 5 9])
((3 1 4) (1 4 1) (4 1 5) (1 5 9))
If you want to operate on the windows, it can also be convenient to do this with map:
user=> (def a [3 1 4 1 5 9])
user=> (map (partial apply +) (partition 3 1 a))
(8 6 10 15)
user=> (map + a (next a) (nnext a))
(8 6 10 15)
