In Hash§

See primary documentation in context for method classify-list

multi method classify-list(&mapper, *@list, :&as --> Hash:D)
multi method classify-list(%mapper, *@list, :&as --> Hash:D)
multi method classify-list(@mapper, *@list, :&as --> Hash:D)

Populates a Hash by classifying the possibly-empty @list of values using the given mapper, optionally altering the values using the :&as Callable. The @list cannot be lazy.

The mapper can be a Callable that takes a single argument, an Associative, or an Iterable; this Callable is guaranteed to be called only once per item. With Associative and an Iterable mappers, the values in the @list represent the key and index of the mapper's value respectively. A Callable mapper will be executed once per each item in the @list, with that item as the argument and its return value will be used as the mapper's value.

In role Baggy§

See primary documentation in context for method classify-list

multi method classify-list(&mapper, *@list --> Baggy:D)
multi method classify-list(%mapper, *@list --> Baggy:D)
multi method classify-list(@mapper, *@list --> Baggy:D)

Populates a mutable Baggy by classifying the possibly-empty @list of values using the given mapper. The @list cannot be lazy.

say BagHash.new.classify-list: { $_ %% 2 ?? 'even' !! 'odd' }, ^10;
# OUTPUT: BagHash(even(5) odd(5)) 
 
my @mapper = <zero one two three four five>;
say MixHash.new.classify-list: @mapper, 1, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6;
# OUTPUT: MixHash((Any) two three four(2) one)

The mapper can be a Callable that takes a single argument, an Associative, or an Iterable. With Associative and an Iterable mappers, the values in the @list represent the key and index of the mapper's value respectively. A Callable mapper will be executed once per each item in the @list, with that item as the argument and its return value will be used as the mapper's value.

The mapper's value is used as the key of the Baggy that will be incremented by 1. See .categorize-list if you wish to classify an item into multiple categories at once.

Note: unlike the Hash's .classify-list, returning an Iterable mapper's value will throw, as Baggy types do not support nested classification. For the same reason, Baggy's .classify-list does not accept :&as parameter.
