Association tables over ordered types.

This module implements applicative association tables, also known as finite maps or dictionaries, given a total ordering function over the keys. All operations over maps are purely applicative (no side-effects). The implementation uses balanced binary trees, and therefore searching and insertion take time logarithmic in the size of the map.

The type of the map keys.

type ('key, 'a) t

The type of maps from type key to type 'a.

val empty : ('key, 'a) t

The empty map.

val is_empty : ('key, 'a) t -> bool

Test whether a map is empty or not.

val add : 'key -> 'a -> ('key, 'a) t -> ('key, 'a) t

add x y m returns a map containing the same bindings as m, plus a binding of x to y. If x was already bound in m, its previous binding disappears.

val find : 'key -> ('key, 'a) t -> 'a

find x m returns the current binding of x in m, or raises Not_found if no such binding exists.

val remove : 'key -> ('key, 'a) t -> ('key, 'a) t

remove x m returns a map containing the same bindings as m, except for x which is unbound in the returned map.

val mem : 'key -> ('key, 'a) t -> bool

mem x m returns true if m contains a binding for x, and false otherwise.

val iter : ('key -> 'a -> unit) -> ('key, 'a) t -> unit

iter f m applies f to all bindings in map m. f receives the key as first argument, and the associated value as second argument. The bindings are passed to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the keys.

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> ('key, 'a) t -> ('key, 'b) t

map f m returns a map with same domain as m, where the associated value a of all bindings of m has been replaced by the result of the application of f to a. The bindings are passed to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the keys.

val mapi : ('key -> 'a -> 'b) -> ('key, 'a) t -> ('key, 'b) t

Same as Map.S.map, but the function receives as arguments both the key and the associated value for each binding of the map.

val fold : ('key -> 'a -> 'b -> 'b) -> ('key, 'a) t -> 'b -> 'b

fold f m a computes (f kN dN ... (f k1 d1 a)...), where k1 ... kN are the keys of all bindings in m (in increasing order), and d1 ... dN are the associated data.

val of_list : ('key * 'a) list -> ('key, 'a) t

val to_list : ('key, 'a) t -> ('key * 'a) list
