How to do an inverse `range`, i.e. create a compact range based on a set of numbers?

Question

Python has a range method, which allows for stuff like:

>>> range(1, 6)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

What I’m looking for is kind of t

Answer 1

I thought you might like my generalised clojure solution.

(def r [1 2 3 9 10])

(defn successive? [a b]
  (= a (dec b)))

(defn break-on [pred s]
  (reduce (fn [memo n]
            (if (empty? memo)
              [[n]]
              (if (pred (last (last memo)) n)
                (conj (vec (butlast memo))
                      (conj (last memo) n))
                (conj memo [n]))))
          []
          s))

(break-on successive? r)
