<p style="color: grey"> Python recipe 578118 by <a href="/recipes/users/4173111/">Sander Evers</a> (<a href="/recipes/tags/cyclic/">cyclic</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/fold/">fold</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/reduce/">reduce</a>, <a href="/recipes/tags/yaml/">yaml</a>). </p> <p>A variation on <a href="http://code.activestate.com/recipes/578117/">Recipe 578117</a> that can deal with cycles. A cycle means that a tree has itself as a subtree somewhere. A fold over such a data structure has a chicken-and-egg-problem: it needs its own result in order to construct its own result. To solve this problem, we let <code>branch</code> construct a <em>part</em> of its result before going into recursion. After the recursion, <code>branch</code> gets a chance to complete its result using its children's results. Python's support for coroutines (using <code>yield</code>) provides a nice way to define such a two-stage <code>branch</code> function.</p>

Revision 2. </p> <p>The function <code>foldsh</code> in this recipe is a general purpose tool for transforming tree-like recursive data structures while keeping track of shared subtrees.</p> <pre class="prettyprint"><code># By default, a branch is encoded as a list of subtrees; each subtree can be a # branch or a leaf (=anything non-iterable). Subtrees can be shared: &gt;&gt;&gt; subtree = [42,44] &gt;&gt;&gt; tree = [subtree,[subtree]] # We can apply a function to all leaves: &gt;&gt;&gt; foldsh(tree, leaf= lambda x: x+1) [[43, 45], [[43, 45]]] # Or apply a function to the branches: &gt;&gt;&gt; foldsh(tree, branch= lambda t,c: list(reversed(c))) [[[44, 42]], [44, 42]] # The sharing is preserved: &gt;&gt;&gt; _[0][0] is _[1] True # Summing up the leaves without double counting of shared subtrees: &gt;&gt;&gt; foldsh(tree, branch= lambda t,c: sum(c), shared= lambda x: 0) 86 </code></pre> <p>In particular, it is useful for transforming YAML documents. An example of this is given below.</p>
