[erlang-questions] Question about reverse list of recursion functions

[Ivan Uemlianin]

Dear Andrey
Using lists:reverse/1 is normal practice. The lists functions are implemented in
C and are fast. I think some of them also do non-erlangy cheats, eg, reverse
reverses the list "in place".
Best wishes

Ivan

Hi, guys! I recently started to learn Erlang (migrating from Ruby) by reading
“Erlang Programming” Cesarini book. After the 3rd chapter there is a task to
implement quick sort and I implemented it like this: [https://gist.github.com/ka8725/f3fcc264e12bcefa6035] https://gist.github.com/ [https://gist.github.com/] ka8725 /f3fcc264e12bcefa6035
It works well, but I have a question that doesn’t allow to sleep me - is it
normal practice to do ` reverse ` every time when you have an list with opposed direction after a few recursions
calls? Is there are other practice to avoid it? Thanks!
