+title: Diagonal of a Sequence of Sequences

+
+# Solution
+
+```ocaml
+let rec diag seq_seq () =
+    let hds, tls = Seq.filter_map Seq.uncons seq_seq |> Seq.split in
+    let hd, tl = Seq.uncons hds |> Option.map fst, Seq.uncons tls |> Option.map snd in
+    let d = Option.fold ~none:Seq.empty ~some:diag tl in
+    Option.fold ~none:Fun.id ~some:Seq.cons hd d ()
+```
+
+# Statement
+
+Write a function `diag : 'a Seq.t Seq.t -> 'a Seq` that returns the _diagonal_
+of a sequence of sequences. The returned sequence is formed as follows:
+The first element of the returned sequence is the first element of the first
+sequence; the second element of the returned sequence is the second element of
+the second sequence; the third element of the returned sequence is the third
+element of the third sequence; and so on.

+
+# Statement
+
+Lists are finite, meaning they always contain a finite number of elements. Sequences may
+be finite or infinite.
+
+The goal of this exercise is to define a type `'a stream` which only contains
+infinite sequences. Using this type, define the following functions:
+```ocaml
+val hd : 'a stream -> 'a
+(** Returns the first element of a stream *)
+val tl : 'a stream -> 'a stream
+(** Removes the first element of a stream *)
+val take : int -> 'a stream -> 'a list
+(** [take n seq] returns the n first values of [seq] *)
+val unfold : ('a -> 'b * 'a) -> 'a -> 'b stream
+(** Similar to Seq.unfold *)
+val bang : 'a -> 'a stream
+(** [bang x] produces an infinitely repeating sequence of [x] values. *)
+val ints : int -> int stream
+(* Similar to Seq.ints *)
+val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a stream -> 'b stream
+(** Similar to List.map and Seq.map *)
+val filter: ('a -> bool) -> 'a stream -> 'a stream
+(** Similar to List.filter and Seq.filter *)
+val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a stream -> 'b
+(** Similar to List.iter and Seq.iter *)
+val to_seq : 'a stream -> 'a Seq.t
+(** Translates an ['a stream] into an ['a Seq.t] *)
+val of_seq : 'a Seq.t -> 'a stream
+(** Translates an ['a Seq.t] into an ['a stream]
+    @raise Failure if the input sequence is finite. *)
+```
+**Tip:** Use `let ... =` patterns.
