Return the first element of the given list. Raise Failure "hd"
if the list is empty.
Return the given list without its first element. Raise Failure "tl"
if the list is empty.
Return the n
-th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0. Raise Failure "nth"
if the list is too short. Raise Invalid_argument "List.nth"
if n
is negative.
Catenate two lists. Same function as the infix operator @
. Not tail-recursive (length of the first argument). The @
operator is not tail-recursive either.
ListLabels.rev_append l1 l2
reverses l1
and concatenates it to l2
. This is equivalent to ListLabels.rev
l1 @ l2
, but rev_append
is tail-recursive and more efficient.
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).
Same as concat
. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).
Iterators
ListLabels.iter f [a1; ...; an]
applies function f
in turn to a1; ...; an
. It is equivalent to begin f a1; f a2; ...; f an; () end
.
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.
ListLabels.map f [a1; ...; an]
applies function f
to a1, ..., an
, and builds the list [f a1; ...; f an]
with the results returned by f
. Not tail-recursive.
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.
ListLabels.rev_map f l
gives the same result as ListLabels.rev
(
ListLabels.map
f l)
, but is tail-recursive and more efficient.
ListLabels.fold_left f a [b1; ...; bn]
is f (... (f (f a b1) b2) ...) bn
.
ListLabels.fold_right f [a1; ...; an] b
is f a1 (f a2 (... (f an b) ...))
. Not tail-recursive.
Iterators on two lists
ListLabels.iter2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
calls in turn f a1 b1; ...; f an bn
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
ListLabels.map2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
is [f a1 b1; ...; f an bn]
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
ListLabels.rev_map2 f l1 l2
gives the same result as ListLabels.rev
(
ListLabels.map2
f l1 l2)
, but is tail-recursive and more efficient.
ListLabels.fold_left2 f a [b1; ...; bn] [c1; ...; cn]
is f (... (f (f a b1 c1) b2 c2) ...) bn cn
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
ListLabels.fold_right2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] c
is f a1 b1 (f a2 b2 (... (f an bn c) ...))
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
List scanning
for_all p [a1; ...; an]
checks if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate p
. That is, it returns (p a1) && (p a2) && ... && (p an)
.
exists p [a1; ...; an]
checks if at least one element of the list satisfies the predicate p
. That is, it returns (p a1) || (p a2) || ... || (p an)
.
Same as ListLabels.for_all
, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
Same as ListLabels.exists
, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
Same as ListLabels.mem
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare list elements.
List searching
find p l
returns the first element of the list l
that satisfies the predicate p
. Raise Not_found
if there is no value that satisfies p
in the list l
.
filter p l
returns all the elements of the list l
that satisfy the predicate p
. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
find_all
is another name for ListLabels.filter
.
partition p l
returns a pair of lists (l1, l2)
, where l1
is the list of all the elements of l
that satisfy the predicate p
, and l2
is the list of all the elements of l
that do not satisfy p
. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
Association lists
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
. Raise Not_found
if there is no value associated with a
in the list l
.
Same as ListLabels.assoc
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Same as ListLabels.assoc
, but simply return true if a binding exists, and false if no bindings exist for the given key.
Same as ListLabels.mem_assoc
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
remove_assoc a l
returns the list of pairs l
without the first pair with key a
, if any. Not tail-recursive.
Same as ListLabels.remove_assoc
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys. Not tail-recursive.
Lists of pairs
Transform a list of pairs into a pair of lists: split [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)]
is ([a1; ...; an], [b1; ...; bn])
. Not tail-recursive.
Transform a pair of lists into a list of pairs: combine [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
is [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)]
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
Sorting
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, Pervasives.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.
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.
Same as ListLabels.sort
or ListLabels.stable_sort
, whichever is faster on typical input.
