firstly, i dont know how can this "import Data.List (maximum, minimum, minimumBy)" be done in sml. i am trying to understand differences in these two languages..

I have an algorithm which when we have K different sets of numbers,we have to choose a number from each set, so that the difference between the higher and the lower number is the minimum.

import Data.List (maximum, minimum, minimumBy) minDiff (x:xs) = comb (head x) (diff $ matches (head x)) x where diff m = abs (maximum m - minimum m) matches y = map (minimumBy (\a b -> compare (abs (a - y)) (abs (b - y)))) xs comb result difference [] = [result] ++ matches result comb result difference (z:zs) = let diff' = diff (matches z) in if diff' < difference then comb z diff' zs else comb result difference zs

i want to translate this code to sml, can someone help me?
