An ogl-edocf challenge

Question

Input

A non-empty shuffled string consisting of ASCII characters in the range \$[32..126]\$.

Output

The output is obtained by applying successive rotations to the input string.

For each letter ([a-zA-Z]) in the input string, going from left to right:

• if the letter is in upper case, rotate all characters before it by one position to the left
• if the letter is in lower case, rotate all characters before it by one position to the right

Example

Input: "Cb-Ad"

• The first letter is a "C". We should do a rotation to the left, but there's no character before this "C". So, there's nothing to rotate.
• The next letter is a "b". We rotate "C" to the right. Because it's a single character, it is left unchanged.
• The character "-" does not trigger any rotation, as it's not a letter.
• The next letter is a "A". We rotate "Cb-" to the left, which gives "b-CAd"
• The fourth and last letter is a "d". We rotate "b-CA" to the right, which gives "Ab-Cd"

Therefore, the expected output is "Ab-Cd".

Rules

• You may take input as a string or as an array of characters -- which may or may not be the same thing, depending on your language.
• You may also output an array of characters instead of a string.
• This is ogl-edocf code-golf

Test cases

"cbad" -> "abcd"
"ACBD" -> "ABCD"
"Cb-Ad" -> "Ab-Cd"
"caeBDF" -> "aBcDeF"
"aEcbDF" -> "abcDEF"
"ogl-edocf" -> "code-golf"
"W o,ollelrHd!" -> "Hello, World!"
"ti HIs SSta ET!" -> "tHis IS a tEST!"

><>, 45 43 bytes

ii:2+7$.::&"`{"@)@(*?}"@["&::&@)@(*?{&!

Try it online!

The fact that ><> has stack rotation helps, but having to check the case of the letter doesn't.

Explanation:

i    Get first inputted character
 i   Get second. This is to prevent errors from rotating an empty stack
  :2+7$.      Jump to the second line if that was EOF
        ::&   Create copies of the input and store one in the register
           "`{"@)@(*     Check if the char is lower case
                    ?}   If so rotate the stack
                      "@["&::&@)@(*?{   Rotate the other way if uppercase
                                     &  Push the new char
                                      ! Skip the first i instruction
Skip to the second line on EOF

Haskell, 101 91 bytes

^{-10 bytes inspired by Curtis Bechtel's answer (use '@'<c,c<'[' over elem c['A'..'Z'] and the according range for lower-cased letters).}

g(x:y)=foldl((<>pure).(!))[x]y
x@(a:b)!c|'`'<c,c<'{'=last x:init x|'@'<c,c<'['=b++[a]|0<1=x

Try it online!

Explanation / Ungolfed

The operator (!) takes a non-empty string x on which we can pattern-match and a character:

x@(a:b) ! c
  | '`' < c, c < '{' = last x : init x  -- rotate x to the right by one
  | '@' < c, c < '[' = b ++ [a]         -- rotate x to the left by one
  | otherwise = x                       -- keep x as is

Now we can reduce the input's tail from the left to the right, starting with the first character of the input using:

\b a -> b!a ++ [a]

->s{w=[];s.map{|x|w.rotate!(x=~/\W/||?_<=>x)<<x};w}

Try it online!

Input and output are arrays of characters

The trick:

The code is pretty straightforward, except perhaps the rotation part:

(x=~/\W/||?_<=>x)

x is a single character, which could be a letter, the first expression x=~/\W/ returns nil if it's a letter, and 0 otherwise. If it's 0, we're done, if not, the logical or checks the second expression: ?_<=>x returns -1 for upper case and 1 for lower case. So the rotation is:

• -1 (1 to the left) for upper case
• +1 (1 to the right) for lower case
• 0 (no rotation) if it's not a letter

A lot of stack swapping which is probably unnecessary. I really would like to get this down more, but I was strugging with the ordering of the stack. Maybe somebody can figure it out if they are bored. Will keep working on it.

~Fold[{s'r.=_'sp;Rotate[s,&`-!Has&r[0]=>ALPHA'alpha]+r}@SplitAt]#Iota

Try it online!

Explanation

General shape

The function looks generally like this:

~Fold[{...}]#Iota

Which folds {...} over each member in the range from 0 to #input - 1 (Iota), starting with the input as a seed.

The inner function

The following function is called as f[building, index] and is called with each index from 0 to #input exclusive. @SplitAt calls SplitAt on these arguments, splitting the input string on index.

{s'r.=_'sp;Rotate[s,&`-!Has&r[0]=>ALPHA'alpha]+r}
{                                               }    anonymous function taking the split string
                                                     e.g.: ["cd-", "Adf!"]
      _'sp                                           concat the input with a space
                                                     e.g.: ["cd-", "Adf!", " "]
                                                     (this is to handle index = 0)
 s'r.=                                               `s` is the first member, and `r` is the second
           Rotate[s,                         ]       rotate `s` by:
                                  ALPHA'alpha          over uppercase and lowercase alphabets:
                        Has&r[0]=>                       test if r[0] is in each alphabet
                                                       e.g.: [true, false]
                    &`-!                               subtract the second from the first
                                                       e.g.: (true - false) = 1 - 0 = 1
                                                     s is rotated according to the following map:
                                                       uppercase =>  1
                                                       symbol    =>  0
                                                       lowercase => -1
                                              +r     append the right portion of the string

Essentially, this function rotates the left portion of the string according to the first character of the right portion.

Try it online! Link is to verbose version of code. Explanation:

ＦＳ

Loop over the input characters.

≔⁺⭆ω§ω⁻⁺λ№αι№βιιω

Map over the string of collected characters so far, cyclically indexing into the collected characters so far with the index incremented or decremented if the current character is upper or lower case respectively. This completes the rotation. The next character is then concatenated, and the result assigned back to the string.

-9 bytes thanks to @Neil removing the three unnecessary ? I had added, as well as the unnecessary (.*) in the else-case.

Try it online or verify all test cases. (NOTE: Outputs with a trailing newline. The header in the test suite is to test each input-line as a separate test case, and the footer is to remove that trailing newline for a more compact output.)

Explanation:

Prepend a newline before the input:

^
¶

Continue replacing as long as we can find a match:

+`

Everything else is three different checks merged together:

If the character right after the newline is lowercase letter: rotate everything before the newline once towards the right, and then append that character and the newline:

(.*)(.)¶([a-z])
$2$1$3¶

If the character right after the newline is an uppercase letter: rotate everything before the newline once towards the left, and then append that character and the newline:

(.)(.*)¶([A-Z])
$2$1$3¶

Else (neither a lowercase nor uppercase letter): simply shift the newline once towards the right for the next 'iteration':

¶(.)
$1¶

These three checks above are merged with regex OR statements (|) and larger group-replacements to make it act like an if(lowercase) ... elseif(uppercase) ... else ...:

         }RG           Figure out which are in the lowercase alphabet (returns [1,0] for lowercase, [0,1] for uppercase, [0,0] for non-letters)
       -F              Fold on subtraction (1 for lowercase, -1 for uppercase, 0 for non-letter)
    .>k                Cycle the processed part (k) of the input right by ^ steps
   +            d      Add in the new character at the end
  =   k                Store new process step back into k (k starts as an empty string)
e                     Get the (e)nd step's output.
