Module Stdlib.ListLabels

Module ListLabels
: (module Stdlib__ListLabels)

type 'a t = 'a list =
| []
| (::) of 'a * 'a list

An alias for the type of lists.

val length : 'a list -> int

Return the length (number of elements) of the given list.

val compare_lengths : 'a list -> 'b list -> int

Compare the lengths of two lists. compare_lengths l1 l2 is equivalent to compare (length l1) (length l2) , except that the computation stops after reaching the end of the shortest list.

Since 4.05

val compare_length_with : 'a list -> len:int -> int

Compare the length of a list to an integer. compare_length_with l len is equivalent to compare (length l) len , except that the computation stops after at most len iterations on the list.

Since 4.05

val is_empty : 'a list -> bool

is_empty l is true if and only if l has no elements. It is equivalent to compare_length_with l 0 = 0 .

Since 5.1

val cons : 'a -> 'a list -> 'a list

cons x xs is x :: xs

Since 4.05

val hd : 'a list -> 'a

Return the first element of the given list.

Raises Failure if the list is empty.

val tl : 'a list -> 'a list

Return the given list without its first element.

Raises Failure if the list is empty.

val nth : 'a list -> int -> 'a

Return the n -th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0.

Raises Failure if the list is too short.

Raises Invalid_argument if n is negative.

val nth_opt : 'a list -> int -> 'a option

Return the n -th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0. Return None if the list is too short.

Since 4.05

Raises Invalid_argument if n is negative.

val rev : 'a list -> 'a list

List reversal.

val init : len:int -> f:(int -> 'a) -> 'a list

init ~len ~f is [f 0; f 1; ...; f (len-1)] , evaluated left to right.

Since 4.06

Raises Invalid_argument if len < 0 .

val append : 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

append l0 l1 appends l1 to l0 . Same function as the infix operator @ .

Since 5.1 this function is tail-recursive.

val rev_append : 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

rev_append l1 l2 reverses l1 and concatenates it with l2 . This is equivalent to ( ListLabels.rev l1) @ l2 .

val concat : 'a list list -> 'a list

Concatenate a list of lists. The elements of the argument are all concatenated together (in the same order) to give the result. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).

val flatten : 'a list list -> 'a list

Same as ListLabels.concat . Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).

val equal : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> bool

equal eq [a1; ...; an] [b1; ..; bm] holds when the two input lists have the same length, and for each pair of elements ai , bi at the same position we have eq ai bi .

Note: the eq function may be called even if the lists have different length. If you know your equality function is costly, you may want to check ListLabels.compare_lengths first.

Since 4.12

val compare : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> int

compare cmp [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bm] performs a lexicographic comparison of the two input lists, using the same 'a -> 'a -> int interface as compare :

- a1 :: l1 is smaller than a2 :: l2 (negative result) if a1 is smaller than a2 , or if they are equal (0 result) and l1 is smaller than l2

-the empty list [] is strictly smaller than non-empty lists

Note: the cmp function will be called even if the lists have different lengths.

Since 4.12

val iter : f:('a -> unit) -> 'a list -> unit

iter ~f [a1; ...; an] applies function f in turn to [a1; ...; an] . It is equivalent to f a1; f a2; ...; f an .

val iteri : f:(int -> 'a -> unit) -> 'a list -> unit

Same as ListLabels.iter , but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.

Since 4.00

val map : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

map ~f [a1; ...; an] applies function f to a1, ..., an , and builds the list [f a1; ...; f an] with the results returned by f .

val mapi : f:(int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

Same as ListLabels.map , but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.

Since 4.00

val rev_map : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

val concat_map : f:('a -> 'b list) -> 'a list -> 'b list

concat_map ~f l gives the same result as ListLabels.concat ( ListLabels.map f l) . Tail-recursive.

for_all ~f [a1; ...; an] checks if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate f . That is, it returns (f a1) && (f a2) && ... && (f an) for a non-empty list and true if the list is empty.

val exists : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> bool

exists ~f [a1; ...; an] checks if at least one element of the list satisfies the predicate f . That is, it returns (f a1) || (f a2) || ... || (f an) for a non-empty list and false if the list is empty.

Since 4.05

val find_index : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> int option

find_index ~f xs returns Some i , where i is the index of the first element of the list xs that satisfies f x , if there is such an element.

It returns None if there is no such element.

Since 5.1

val find_map : f:('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b option

find_map ~f l applies f to the elements of l in order, and returns the first result of the form Some v , or None if none exist.

Since 4.10

val find_mapi : f:(int -> 'a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b option

Same as find_map , but the predicate is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.

Since 5.1

val filter : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

filter ~f l returns all the elements of the list l that satisfy the predicate f . The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.

val find_all : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

find_all is another name for ListLabels.filter .

val partition : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

partition ~f l returns a pair of lists (l1, l2) , where l1 is the list of all the elements of l that satisfy the predicate f , and l2 is the list of all the elements of l that do not satisfy f . The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.

val partition_map : f:('a -> ('b, 'c) Either.t) -> 'a list -> 'b list * 'c list

partition_map f l returns a pair of lists (l1, l2) such that, for each element x of the input list l :

-if f x is Left y1 , then y1 is in l1 , and

-if f x is Right y2 , then y2 is in l2 .

The output elements are included in l1 and l2 in the same relative order as the corresponding input elements in l .

In particular, partition_map (fun x -> if f x then Left x else Right x) l is equivalent to partition f l .

Since 4.12

val assoc : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b

assoc a l returns the value associated with key a in the list of pairs l . That is, assoc a [ ...; (a,b); ...] = b if (a,b) is the leftmost binding of a in list l .

Same as ListLabels.assoc_opt , but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.

Since 4.05

Same as ListLabels.assoc , but simply return true if a binding exists, and false if no bindings exist for the given key.

val mem_assq : 'a -> map:('a * 'b) list -> bool

Same as ListLabels.mem_assoc , but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.

val remove_assoc : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list

remove_assoc a l returns the list of pairs l without the first pair with key a , if any. Not tail-recursive.

val remove_assq : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list

Same as ListLabels.remove_assoc , but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys. Not tail-recursive.

val split : ('a * 'b) list -> 'a list * 'b list

Transform a list of pairs into a pair of lists: split [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)] is ([a1; ...; an], [b1; ...; bn]) . Not tail-recursive.

val combine : 'a list -> 'b list -> ('a * 'b) list

Transform a pair of lists into a list of pairs: combine [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] is [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)] .

Raises Invalid_argument if the two lists have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.

val sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Sort a list in increasing order according to a comparison function. The comparison function must return 0 if its arguments compare as equal, a positive integer if the first is greater, and a negative integer if the first is smaller (see Array.sort for a complete specification). For example, compare is a suitable comparison function. The resulting list is sorted in increasing order. ListLabels.sort is guaranteed to run in constant heap space (in addition to the size of the result list) and logarithmic stack space.

The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It runs in constant heap space and logarithmic stack space.

val stable_sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as ListLabels.sort , but the sorting algorithm is guaranteed to be stable (i.e. elements that compare equal are kept in their original order).

The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It runs in constant heap space and logarithmic stack space.

val fast_sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as ListLabels.sort or ListLabels.stable_sort , whichever is faster on typical input.

val sort_uniq : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as ListLabels.sort , but also remove duplicates.

Since 4.03

val merge : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

Merge two lists: Assuming that l1 and l2 are sorted according to the comparison function cmp , merge ~cmp l1 l2 will return a sorted list containing all the elements of l1 and l2 . If several elements compare equal, the elements of l1 will be before the elements of l2 . Not tail-recursive (sum of the lengths of the arguments).

val to_seq : 'a list -> 'a Seq.t

Iterate on the list.

Since 4.07

val of_seq : 'a Seq.t -> 'a list

Create a list from a sequence.
