Alternative way of getting the column in a list

essej
essej over 11 years ago
I have a function that gets the columns in an assoc list. Its working fine except for the very large size of list around 10 million. I gets a huge memory allocated when I profiled it.

procedure(getColSub(col lList)
  if(onep(length(col)) then
    case(car(col)
      (0 mapcar('car lList))
      (1 mapcar('cadr lList))
      (2 mapcar('caddr lList))
      (3 mapcar('cadddr lList))
      (t mapcar('nth vectorToList(makeVector(length(lList) car(col))) lList))
    )
  else
    mapcar('nth col vectorToList(makeVector(length(col) lList)))
  )
)

Example:
lList=list(list("a" 1) list("b" 2))
col=list(1 0) , gives ((1 "a")(2 "b"))
col=list(1) , gives (1 2)

    I always got warning that I am using bigger swap memory when running my script. I profiled it and gives me huge size on a list.

    I'm trying to improve every list manipulation so I can solve this issue.
