Overview of this book

Step-by-step recipes filled with practical code samples and engaging examples demonstrate Haskell in practice, and then the concepts behind the code. This book shows functional developers and analysts how to leverage their existing knowledge of Haskell specifically for high-quality data analysis. A good understanding of data sets and functional programming is assumed.

Using a high-performance hash table


Haskell already comes with a Data.Map module based on size-balanced binary trees. There exist better-optimized hash table libraries such as Data.HashMap from the unordered-containers package.

For example, both Data.Map and Data.HashMap have insertion and lookup time complexities of O(log n); however, the latter uses a large base, so in practice these operations are constant time. More documentation on Data.HashMap can be found at http://hackage.haskell.org/package/unordered-containers-0.2.4.0/docs/Data-HashMap-Lazy.html.

In this recipe, we will use the unordered-contains library from Hackage to create a mapping of word size to a set of words of that size.

Getting ready

Download a large corpus of text and name the file big.txt as follows:

$ wget norvig.com/big.txt

Install the Data.HashMap package using Cabal as follows:

$ cabal install unordered-containers

How to do it…

  1. Import the HashMap package as follows:

    import Data.HashMap.Lazy
    import Data.Set (Set)
    import...
