-- Some of the definitions are left "undefined", you should replace them with your answers.

-- Find the penultimate (second-to-last) element in list xs
penultimate xs = last (init xs)

-- Find the antepenultimate (third-to-last) element in list xs
antepenultimate xs = last (init (init xs))

-- Left shift list xs by 1
-- For example, "shiftLeft [1, 2, 3]" should return "[2, 3, 1]"
shiftLeft xs = tail xs ++ [head xs]

-- Left shift list xs by n
-- For example, "rotateLeft 2 [1, 2, 3]" should return "[3, 1, 2]"
rotateLeft 0 xs = xs
rotateLeft n xs = rotateLeft (n-1) (shiftLeft xs)

-- Insert element x in list xs at index k
-- For example, "insertElem 100 3 [0,0,0,0,0]" should return [0,0,0,100,0,0]
insertElem x k xs = (take k xs) ++ x:(drop k xs)

-- Here we have a type for the 7 days of the week
-- Try typeclass functions like "show" or "maxBound" on them
data Day = Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun
         deriving (Eq, Ord, Show, Bounded, Enum)

-- Note that if you try "succ Sun", you should get an error, because "succ" is not defined on "Sun"
-- Define "next", which is like "succ", but returns "Mon" on "next Sun"
next :: Day -> Day
next Sun = Mon
next day = succ day

-- Return "True" on weekend
isWeekend :: Day -> Bool
isWeekend day = day > Fri

data Task = Work | Shop | Play deriving (Eq, Show)

-- You are given a schedule, which is a list of pairs of Tasks and Days
schedule :: [(Task, Day)]
schedule = [(Shop, Fri), (Work, Tue), (Play, Mon), (Play, Fri)]

-- However, the schedule is a mess
-- Sort the schedule by Day, and return only a list of Tasks.
-- If there are many Tasks in a Day, you should keep its original ordering
-- For example, "sortTask schedule" should return "[(Play, Mon), (Work, Tue), (Shop, Fri), (Play, Fri)]"
sortTask :: [(Task, Day)] -> [(Task, Day)]
sortTask xs = sortBy (\(_, d1) (_, d2) -> d1 `compare` d2) xs

-- This function converts days to names, like "show", but a bit fancier
-- For example, "nameOfDay Mon" should return "Monday"

nameOfDay Tue = "Tuesday"
nameOfDay Wed = "Wednesday"
nameOfDay Thu = "Thursday"
nameOfDay Fri = "Friday"

-- Raise x to the power y using recursion
-- For example, "power 3 4" should return "81"
power :: Int -> Int -> Int
power _ 0 = 1
power x y = x * (power x (y - 1))

-- Convert a list of booleans (big-endian) to a interger using recursion
-- For example, "convertBinaryDigit [True, False, False]" should return 4
convertBinaryDigit :: [Bool] -> Int
convertBinaryDigit (x:[]) = fromEnum x
convertBinaryDigit bits = fromEnum (last bits) + 2 * (convertBinaryDigit (init bits))

-- Create a fibbonaci sequence of length N in reverse order
-- For example, "fib 5" should return "[3, 2, 1, 1, 0]"
fib :: Int -> [Int]
fib 1 = [0]
fib 2 = [1, 0]
fib n = (sum (take 2 previous)):(previous) where previous = fib (n - 1)

-- Determine whether a given list is a palindrome
-- For example, "palindrome []" or "palindrome [1, 3, 1]" should return "True"
palindrome :: Eq a => [a] -> Bool
palindrome (x:[])  = True
palindrome (x:y:[]) = x == y
palindrome xs = (head xs) == (last xs) && (palindrome (init (tail xs)))

-- Map the first component of a pair with the given function
-- For example, "mapFirst (+3) (4, True)" should return "(7, True)"
mapFirst :: (a -> b) -> (a, c) -> (b, c)
mapFirst f pair = (f (fst pair), snd pair)

-- Devise a function that has the following type
someFunction :: (a -> b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> c
someFunction r f x = r x (f x)

-- Example
foo :: Int -> Float -> [Char]
foo a b = (show a) ++ (tail (show b))

bar :: Int -> Float
bar x = (fromIntegral x) / 21.18754
