include module type of BatArray
with module Labels := BatArray.Labels
and module Cap := BatArray.CapArrays are mutable data structures with a fixed size, which support fast access and modification, and are used pervasively in imperative computing. While arrays are completely supported in OCaml, it is often a good idea to investigate persistent alternatives, such as lists or hash maps.
This module replaces Stdlib's Array module.
A variant of arrays, arrays with capabilities, is provided in module BatArray.Cap. This notion of capabilities permit the transformation of a mutable array into a read-only or a write-only arrays, without loss of speed and with the possibility of distributing different capabilities to different expressions.

Array.get a n returns the element number n of array a. The first element has number 0. The last element has number Array.length a - 1. You can also write a.(n) instead of Array.get a n.
Array.set a n x modifies array a in place, replacing element number n with x. You can also write a.(n) <- x instead of Array.set a n x.
Array.make n x returns a fresh array of length n, initialized with x. All the elements of this new array are initially physically equal to x (in the sense of the == predicate). Consequently, if x is mutable, it is shared among all elements of the array, and modifying x through one of the array entries will modify all other entries at the same time.
Array.make_float n returns a fresh float array of length n, with uninitialized data.
val of_seq : 'a Seq.t -> 'a arrayval to_seq : 'a array -> 'a Seq.tval to_seqi : 'a array -> (int * 'a) Seq.tArray.init n f returns a fresh array of length n, with element number i initialized to the result of f i. In other terms, Array.init n f tabulates the results of f applied to the integers 0 to n-1.
Array.make_matrix dimx dimy e returns a two-dimensional array (an array of arrays) with first dimension dimx and second dimension dimy. All the elements of this new matrix are initially physically equal to e. The element (x,y) of a matrix m is accessed with the notation m.(x).(y).
Array.append v1 v2 returns a fresh array containing the concatenation of the arrays v1 and v2.
Array.sub a start len returns a fresh array of length len, containing the elements number start to start + len - 1 of array a.
Array.copy a returns a copy of a, that is, a fresh array containing the same elements as a.
Array.fill a ofs len x modifies the array a in place, storing x in elements number ofs to ofs + len - 1.
Array.blit v1 o1 v2 o2 len copies len elements from array v1, starting at element number o1, to array v2, starting at element number o2. It works correctly even if v1 and v2 are the same array, and the source and destination chunks overlap.
Array.split a converts the array of pairs a into a pair of arrays.
Array.of_list l returns a fresh array containing the elements of l.
min_max a returns the (smallest, largest) pair of values from a as judged by Pervasives.compare
kahan_sum l returns a numerically-accurate sum of the floats of l.
You should consider using Kahan summation when you really care about very small differences in the result, while the result or one of the intermediate sums can be very large (which usually results in loss of precision of floating-point addition).
The worst-case rounding error is constant, instead of growing with (the square root of) the length of the input array as with
fsum. On the other hand, processing each element requires four floating-point operations instead of one. See the wikipedia article on Kahan summation for more details.
left r len returns the array containing the len first characters of r. If r contains less than len characters, it returns r.
Examples: Array.left [|0;1;2;3;4;5;6|] 4 = [|0;1;2;3|] Array.left [|1;2;3|] 0 = [||] Array.left [|1;2;3|] 10 = [|1;2;3|]
left r len returns the array containing the len last characters of r. If r contains less than len characters, it returns r.
Example: Array.right [|1;2;3;4;5;6|] 4 = [|3;4;5;6|]
as left
tail r pos returns the array containing all but the pos first characters of r
Example: Array.tail [|1;2;3;4;5;6|] 4 = [|5;6|]
Array.iter f a applies function f in turn to all the elements of a. It is equivalent to f a.(0); f a.(1); ...; f a.(Array.length a - 1); ().
Array.map f a applies function f to all the elements of a, and builds an array with the results returned by f: [| f a.(0); f a.(1); ...; f a.(Array.length a - 1) |].
Same as Array.iter, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument, and the element itself as second argument.
Same as Array.map, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument, and the element itself as second argument.
Array.fold_left f x a computes f (... (f (f x a.(0)) a.(1)) ...) a.(n-1), where n is the length of the array a.
fold_while p f init a, accumulates elements x of array a using function f, as long as the predicate p acc x holds. At the end, the accumulated value along with the first index i where p acc a.(i) does not hold is returned. If the returned index is equal to length a, the whole array was folded.
Array.fold_right f a x computes f a.(0) (f a.(1) ( ... (f a.(n-1) x) ...)), where n is the length of the array a.
Same as modify, but the function is applied to the index of the element as the first argument, and the element itself as the second argument.
As fold_left, but with the index of the element as additional argument
As fold_right, but with the index of the element as additional argument
Array.reduce f a is fold_left f a.(0) [|a.(1); ..; a.(n-1)|]. This is useful for merging a group of things that have no reasonable default value to return if the group is empty.
Sort an array 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 below for a complete specification). For example, Pervasives.compare is a suitable comparison function, provided there are no floating-point NaN values in the data. After calling Array.sort, the array is sorted in place in increasing order. Array.sort is guaranteed to run in constant heap space and (at most) logarithmic stack space.
The current implementation uses Heap Sort. It runs in constant stack space.
Specification of the comparison function: Let a be the array and cmp the comparison function. The following must be true for all x, y, z in a :
cmp x y > 0 if and only if cmp y x < 0cmp x y >= 0 and cmp y z >= 0 then cmp x z >= 0When Array.sort returns, a contains the same elements as before, reordered in such a way that for all i and j valid indices of a :
cmp a.(i) a.(j) >= 0 if and only if i >= jSame as Array.sort, but the sorting algorithm is stable (i.e. elements that compare equal are kept in their original order) and not guaranteed to run in constant heap space.
The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It uses n/2 words of heap space, where n is the length of the array. It is usually faster than the current implementation of Array.sort.
Same as Array.sort or Array.stable_sort, whichever is faster on typical input.
decorate_stable_sort f a returns a sorted copy of a such that if f
x < f y then x is earlier in the result than y. This function is useful when f is expensive, as it only computes f
x once for each element in the array. See Schwartzian Transform.
It is unnecessary to have an additional comparison function as argument, as the builtin Pervasives.compare is used to compare the 'b values. This is deemed sufficient.
As Array.decorate_stable_sort, but uses fast_sort internally.
val bsearch :
'a BatOrd.ord ->
'a array ->
'a ->
[ `All_lower | `All_bigger | `Just_after of int | `Empty | `At of int ]bsearch cmp arr x finds the index of the object x in the array arr, provided arr is sorted using cmp. If the array is not sorted, the result is not specified (may raise Invalid_argument).
Complexity: O(log n) where n is the length of the array (dichotomic search).
val pivot_split : 'a BatOrd.ord -> 'a array -> 'a -> int * intpivot_split cmp arr x assumes that arr is sorted w.r.t cmp. It splits an array arr of length len into three parts, by returning a couple (i,j) such as:
sub arr 0 i) are lower than xsub arr i (j-i)) are equal to xsub arr j (len-j)) are bigger than xIn particular, it returns:
arr are bigger than xxxComplexity: logarithmic in the size of the array
Array.iter2 f [|a0; a1; ...; an|] [|b0; b1; ...; bn|] performs calls f a0 b0; f a1 b1; ...; f an bn in that order.
Array.iter2i f [|a0; a1; ...; an|] [|b0; b1; ...; bn|] performs calls f 0 a0 b0; f 1 a1 b1; ...; f n an bn in that order.
As Array.for_all but on two arrays.
As Array.exists but on two arrays.
As Array.map but on two arrays.
for_all p [|a0; a1; ...; an|] checks if all elements of the array satisfy the predicate p. That is, it returns (p a0)
&& (p a1) && ... && (p an).
exists p [|a0; a1; ...; an|] checks if at least one element of the array satisfies the predicate p. That is, it returns (p
a0) || (p a1) || ... || (p an).
Same as Array.mem but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare array elements.
filter p a returns all the elements of the array a that satisfy the predicate p. The order of the elements in the input array is preserved.
As filter but with the index passed to the predicate.
filter_map f e returns an array consisting of all elements x such that f y returns Some x , where y is an element of e.
count_matching p a returns the number of elements of a satisfying predicate p.
find_all is another name for Array.filter.
partition p a returns a pair of arrays (a1, a2), where a1 is the array of all the elements of a that satisfy the predicate p, and a2 is the array of all the elements of a that do not satisfy p. The order of the elements in the input array is preserved.
val enum : 'a array -> 'a BatEnum.tReturns an enumeration of the elements of an array. Behavior of the enumeration is undefined if the contents of the array changes afterwards.
val of_enum : 'a BatEnum.t -> 'a arrayBuild an array from an enumeration.
val backwards : 'a array -> 'a BatEnum.tReturns an enumeration of the elements of an array, from last to first.
val of_backwards : 'a BatEnum.t -> 'a arrayBuild an array from an enumeration, with the first element of the enumeration as the last element of the array and vice versa.
val range : 'a array -> int BatEnum.trange a returns an enumeration of all valid indexes into the given array. For example, range [|2;4;6;8|] = 0--3.
insert xs x i returns a copy of xs except the value x is inserted in position i (and all later indices are shifted to the right).
remove_at i a returns the array a without the element at index i.
val print :
?first:string ->
?last:string ->
?sep:string ->
('a, 'b) BatIO.printer ->
('a t, 'b) BatIO.printerPrint the contents of an array, with ~first preceding the first item (default: "[|"), ~last following the last item (default: "|]") and ~sep separating items (default: "; "). A printing function must be provided to print the items in the array.
Example: IO.to_string (Array.print Int.print) |2;4;66| = "|2; 4; 66|"
val compare : 'a BatOrd.comp -> 'a array BatOrd.compcompare c generates the lexicographical order on arrays induced by c. That is, given a comparison function for the elements of an array, this will return a comparison function for arrays of that type.
val ord : 'a BatOrd.ord -> 'a array BatOrd.ordHoist an element comparison function to compare arrays of those elements, with shorter arrays less than longer ones, and lexicographically for arrays of the same size. This is a different ordering than compare, but is often faster.
val shuffle : ?state:Random.State.t -> 'a array -> unitshuffle ~state:rs a randomly shuffles in place the elements of a. The optional random state rs allows to control the random numbers being used during shuffling (for reproducibility).
Shuffling is implemented using the Fisher-Yates algorithm and works in O(n), where n is the number of elements of a.
Hoist a equality test for elements to arrays. Arrays are only equal if their lengths are the same and corresponding elements test equal.
The following modules replace functions defined in Array with functions behaving slightly differently but having the same name. This is by design: the functions are meant to override the corresponding functions of Array.
