Sourceval length : 'a list -> int

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

Sourceval hd : 'a list -> 'a

Return the first element of the given list.

  • raises Failure

    if the list is empty.

    if the list is empty.

Sourceval 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.

Sourceval rev : 'a list -> 'a list

List scanning

Sourceval for_all : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> bool

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.

Sourceval exists : ('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.

Sourceval for_all2 : ('a -> 'b -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> bool

Same as for_all, but for a two-argument predicate.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.

List searching

Sourceval find : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a

find f l returns the first element of the list l that satisfies the predicate f.

  • raises Not_found

    if there is no value that satisfies f in the list l.

Sourceval find_all : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

find_all is another name for filter.

Sourceval filteri : (int -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as filter, 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 4.11.0
Sourceval partition : ('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.

Association lists

Sourceval assq : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b

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

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

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

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

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

Lists of pairs

Sorting

Sourceval sort : ('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, Stdlib.compare is a suitable comparison function. The resulting list is sorted in increasing order. 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.

Sourceval stable_sort : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as 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.

Sourceval fast_sort : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

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

Sourceval merge : ('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).

  • since 2.0, but only
  • since 2.2 with labels
Sourceval foldi : ('b -> int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a t -> 'b

Like fold but it also passes in the index of each element to the folded function. Tail-recursive.

Sourceval foldi2 : ('c -> int -> 'a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'c -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c

Fold on two lists, with index.

  • since 2.0, but only
  • since 2.2 with labels
Sourceval get_at_idx : int -> 'a t -> 'a option

Get by index in the list. If the index is negative, it will get element starting from the end of the list.

Sourceval nth_opt : 'a t -> int -> 'a option

Safe version of nth.

  • since 1.5, but only
  • since 2.2 with labels
Sourceval get_at_idx_exn : int -> 'a t -> 'a

Get the i-th element, or

  • raises Not_found

    if the index is invalid. If the index is negative, it will get element starting from the end of the list.

Sourceval set_at_idx : int -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

Set i-th element (removes the old one), or does nothing if index is too high. If the index is negative, it will set element starting from the end of the list.

Sourceval insert_at_idx : int -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

Insert at i-th position, between the two existing elements. If the index is too high, append at the end of the list. If the index is negative, it will insert element starting from the end of the list.

Sourceval remove_at_idx : int -> 'a t -> 'a t

Remove element at given index. Does nothing if the index is too high. If the index is negative, it will remove element starting from the end of the list.

Set Operators

Those operations maintain the invariant that the list does not contain duplicates (if it already satisfies it).

Sourceval add_nodup : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

add_nodup x set adds x to set if it was not already present. Linear time.

  • since 0.11
Sourceval remove_one : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

remove_one x set removes one occurrence of x from set. Linear time.

  • since 0.11
Sourceval mem : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> bool

Membership to the list. Linear time.

Sourceval subset : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

Test for inclusion.

Sourceval uniq : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t

Remove duplicates w.r.t the equality predicate. Complexity is quadratic in the length of the list, but the order of elements is preserved. If you wish for a faster de-duplication but do not care about the order, use sort_uniq.

Sourceval union : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

List union. Complexity is product of length of inputs.

Sourceval inter : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

List intersection. Complexity is product of length of inputs.

Other Constructors

Sourceval range_by : step:int -> int -> int -> int t

range_by ~step i j iterates on integers from i to j included, where the difference between successive elements is step. Use a negative step for a decreasing list.

  • since 0.18
Sourceval range : int -> int -> int t

range i j iterates on integers from i to j included. It works both for decreasing and increasing ranges.

Sourceval range' : int -> int -> int t

Like range but the second bound is excluded. For instance range' 0 5 = [0;1;2;3;4].

Sourceval (--) : int -> int -> int t

Infix alias for range.

Sourceval (--^) : int -> int -> int t

Infix alias for range'.

  • since 0.17
Sourceval replicate : int -> 'a -> 'a t

Replicate the given element n times.

Sourceval repeat : int -> 'a t -> 'a t

Concatenate the list with itself n times.

Association Lists

Sourcemodule Assoc : sig ... end
Sourceval assoc : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b

Like Assoc.get_exn.

  • since 2.0

  • since 2.0 with labels
Sourceval assq_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b option

Safe version of assq.

  • since 1.5, but only
  • since 2.0 with labels
Sourceval mem_assoc : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * _) t -> bool

Like Assoc.mem.

  • since 2.0
Sourceval remove_assoc : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> ('a * 'b) t

References on Lists

Infix Operators

It is convenient to openCCList.Infix to access the infix operators without cluttering the scope too much.

  • since 0.16
Sourcemodule Infix : sig ... end

Let operators on OCaml >= 4.08.0, nothing otherwise

  • since 2.8
include CCShimsMkLet_.S with type 'a t_let := 'a list
