[plt-scheme] "Zipping" two lists?
Does Scheme provide a standard way to do this? I wrote a little ad hoc
function, but it seems that this ought to be common enough an operation
to have a standard solution.
;;zip two list (e.g., (zip (1 2) (3 4)) is ((1 3) (2 4)))
;;(list, list) -> list
(define (zip ls1 ls2)
(if (equal? (length ls1) (length ls2))
(if (null? ls1) '()
(cons (list (car ls1) (car ls2))
(zip (cdr ls1) (cdr ls2))))))
