Swift学习笔记之习题

习题笔记

今天解决一下 Higher Order Functions: Map, Filter, Reduce and more – Part 1 中最后的13个练习题，主要是关于闭包的（咦不对啊我明明是想看集合方面内容的。。。）。

Write a function applyTwice(f:(Float -> Float),x:Float) -> Float that takes a function f and a float x and aplies f to x twice i.e. f(f(x))

func applyTwice(f:(Float -> Float),x:Float) -> Float {
    return f(f(x))
}

Write a function applyKTimes(f:(Float -> Float),x:Float,k:Int) -> Float that takes a function f and a float x and aplies f to x k times

// recursive version
func applyKTimes(f:(Float -> Float), x:Float, k:Int) -> Float
{
    return k > 0 ? applyKTimes(f, f(x), k - 1) : x
}

// unrolled by hand
func applyKTimes(f:(Float -> Float),x:Float,k:Int) -> Float {
    var y : Float = x
    for _ in 0..<k {
        y = f(y)
    }
    return y
}

Using applyKTimes write a function that raises x to the kth power

func getKthPower(x:Float, k:Int) -> Float{
    return applyKTimes( {x * $0}, 1, k) // {x * $0} => {p in return x * p}
}
getKthPower(2.0, 3) // 8.0
