Class type

This module extends Base.Char, adding Identifiable for making char identifiers and Quickcheckable to facilitate automated testing with pseudorandom data.

type t = char
include Typerep_lib.Typerepable.S with type t := t
val typename_of_t : t Typerep_lib.Typename.t

The signature included from Base.Char

val invariant : t -> unit
module O = Base.Char.O
val to_int : t -> int

Returns the ASCII code of the argument.

val of_int : int -> t option

Returns the character with the given ASCII code or None is the argument is outside the range 0 to 255.

val of_int_exn : int -> t

Returns the character with the given ASCII code. Raises Failure if the argument is outside the range 0 to 255.

val unsafe_of_int : int -> t
val escaped : t -> string

Returns a string representing the given character, with special characters escaped following the lexical conventions of OCaml.

val lowercase : t -> t

Converts the given character to its equivalent lowercase character.

val uppercase : t -> t

Converts the given character to its equivalent uppercase character.

val is_digit : t -> bool

'0' - '9'

val is_lowercase : t -> bool

'a' - 'z'

val is_uppercase : t -> bool

'A' - 'Z'

val is_alpha : t -> bool

'a' - 'z' or 'A' - 'Z'

val is_alphanum : t -> bool

'a' - 'z' or 'A' - 'Z' or '0' - '9'

val is_print : t -> bool

' ' - '~'

val is_whitespace : t -> bool

' ' or '\t' or '\r' or '\n'

val get_digit : t -> int option

Returns Some i if is_digit c and None otherwise.

val get_digit_exn : t -> int

Returns i if is_digit c and raises Failure otherwise.

val min_value : t
val max_value : t

Extensions

module Caseless : sig ... end

Caseless compares and hashes characters ignoring case, so that for example Caseless.equal 'A' 'a' and Caseless.('a' < 'B') are true, and Caseless.Map, Caseless.Table lookup and Caseless.Set membership is case-insensitive.

include Identifiable.S with type t := t and type comparator_witness := comparator_witness
include Bin_prot.Binable.S with type t := t
include Bin_prot.Binable.S_only_functions with type t := t
val bin_size_t : t Bin_prot.Size.sizer
val bin_write_t : t Bin_prot.Write.writer
val bin_read_t : t Bin_prot.Read.reader
val __bin_read_t__ : (int -> t) Bin_prot.Read.reader

This function only needs implementation if t exposed to be a polymorphic variant. Despite what the type reads, this does *not* produce a function after reading; instead it takes the constructor tag (int) before reading and reads the rest of the variant t afterwards.

val (>=) : t -> t -> bool

val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

val gen_print : t Quickcheck.Generator.t
val gen_whitespace : t Quickcheck.Generator.t
val gen_uniform_inclusive : t -> t -> t Quickcheck.Generator.t

Generates characters between the given inclusive bounds in ASCII order. Raises if bounds are in decreasing order.
