A Map
represents a unique mapping from keys to values.
Map
is an immutable data structure which means operations like Map.add
and Map.remove
do not modify the data structure, but return a new map with the desired changes.
Since the usage is so common the Map.Int
and Map.String
modules are available, offering a convenient way to construct new Maps.
For other data types you can use Map.Poly
which internally uses OCaml's polymorphic compare
function on the keys.
The specialized modules Map.Int
, Map.String
are in general more efficient.
A collection of key-value pairs
This functor lets you describe the type of Maps a little more concisely.
A Map
can be constructed using one of the functions available in Map.Int
, Map.String
or Map.Poly
val empty :
(module Standard__.Core.Comparator.S
with type identity = 'identity
and type t = 'key) ->
('key, 'value, 'identity) t
A map with nothing in it.
val singleton :
(module Standard__.Core.Comparator.S
with type identity = 'identity
and type t = 'key) ->
key:'key ->
value:'value ->
('key, 'value, 'identity) t
Create a map from a key and value
Examples
Map.singleton (module Int) ~key:1 ~value:"Ant" |> Map.toList = [(1, "Ant")]
val ofArray :
(module Standard__.Core.Comparator.S
with type identity = 'identity
and type t = 'key) ->
('key * 'value) array ->
('key, 'value, 'identity) t
Create a map from an Array
of key-value tuples
val ofList :
(module Standard__.Core.Comparator.S
with type identity = 'identity
and type t = 'key) ->
('key * 'value) list ->
('key, 'value, 'identity) t
Create a map of a List
of key-value tuples
Adds a new entry to a map. If key
is allready present, its previous value is replaced with value
.
Examples
Map.add
(Map.Int.ofList [(1, "Ant"); (2, "Bat")])
~key:3
~value:"Cat"
|> Map.toList = [(1, "Ant"); (2, "Bat"); (3, "Cat")]
Map.add (Map.Int.ofList [(1, "Ant"); (2, "Bat")]) ~key:2 ~value:"Bug" |> Map.toList = [(1, "Ant"); (2, "Bug")]
The index operator version of add
Note Currently this is only supported by the OCaml syntax.
Examples
let indexToAnimal = Map.Int.ofList [(1, "Ant");(2, "Bat");(3, "Cat")] in
let indexToAnimal = numbers.Map.?{4} <- "Dog" in
indexToAnimal.Map.?{4} = Some "Dog"
Removes a key-value pair from a map based on they provided key.
Examples
let animalPopulations = Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
] in
Map.remove animalPopulations "Mosquito" |> Map.toList = [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
val get : ('key, 'value, 'id) t -> 'key -> 'value option
Get the value associated with a key. If the key is not present in the map, returns None
.
Examples
let animalPopulations = Map.String.ofList
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
in Map.get animalPopulations "Shrew" = Some 56_423;
val (.?{}) : ('key, 'value, _) t -> 'key -> 'value option
The index operator version of Core.Map.get
Note Currently this is only supported by the OCaml syntax.
Examples
let indexToAnimal = Map.Int.ofList [(1, "Ant");(2, "Bat");(3, "Cat")] in
indexToAnimal.Map.?{3} = Some "Cat"
val update :
('key, 'value, 'id) t ->
key:'key ->
f:('value option -> 'value option) ->
('key, 'value, 'id) t
Update the value for a specific key using f
. If key
is not present in the map f
will be called with None
.
Examples
let animalPopulations = Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
] in
Map.update animalPopulations ~key:"Hedgehog" ~f:(fun population ->
match population with
| None -> Some 1
| Some count -> Some (count + 1)
)
|> Map.toList = [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Hedgehog", 1);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
val isEmpty : (_, _, _) t -> bool
Determine if a map is empty.
val length : (_, _, _) t -> int
Returns the number of key-value pairs present in the map.
Examples
Map.Int.ofList [(1, "Hornet"); (3, "Marmot")]
|> Map.length = 2
val any : (_, 'value, _) t -> f:('value -> bool) -> bool
Determine if f
returns true
for any
values in a map.
val all : (_, 'value, _) t -> f:('value -> bool) -> bool
Determine if f
returns true
for all
values in a map.
val find :
('key, 'value, _) t ->
f:(key:'key -> value:'value -> bool) ->
('key * 'value) option
Returns, as an Option
the first key-value pair for which f
evaluates to true.
If f
doesn't return true
for any of the elements find
will return None
.
Searches starting from the smallest key
Examples
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.find ~f:(fun ~key ~value -> value > 10_000)
= Some ("Mosquito", 56_123_156)
val includes : ('key, _, _) t -> 'key -> bool
Determine if a map includes key
.
val minimum : ('key, _, _) t -> 'key option
Returns, as an Option
, the smallest key in the map.
Returns None
if the map is empty.
Examples
Map.Int.ofList [(8, "Pigeon"); (1, "Hornet"); (3, "Marmot")]
|> Map.minimum = Some 1
val maximum : ('key, _, _) t -> 'key option
Returns the largest key in the map.
Returns None
if the map is empty.
Examples
Map.Int.ofList [(8, "Pigeon"); (1, "Hornet"); (3, "Marmot")]
|> Map.maximum = Some 8
val extent : ('key, _, _) t -> ('key * 'key) option
val merge :
('key, 'v1, 'id) t ->
('key, 'v2, 'id) t ->
f:('key -> 'v1 option -> 'v2 option -> 'v3 option) ->
('key, 'v3, 'id) t
Combine two maps.
You provide a function f
which is provided the key and the optional value from each map and needs to account for the three possibilities:
1. Only the 'left' map includes a value for the key. 2. Both maps contain a value for the key. 3. Only the 'right' map includes a value for the key.
You then traverse all the keys, building up whatever you want.
Examples
let animalToPopulation =
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
in
let animalToPopulationGrowthRate = Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 0.88);
("Squirrel", 1.2);
("Python", 4.0);
] in
Map.merge
animalToPopulation
animalToPopulationGrowthRate
~f:(fun _animal population growth ->
match (Option.both population growth) with
| Some (population, growth) ->
Some Float.((ofInt population) * growth)
| None -> None
)
|> Map.toList
= [("Elephant", 2777.28)]
Apply a function to all values in a dictionary.
Examples
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.map ~f:Int.toString
|> Map.toList
= [
("Elephant", "3156");
("Shrew", "56423");
]
Like map
but f
is also called with each values corresponding key
Keep elements that f
returns true
for.
Examples
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.map ~f:(fun population -> population > 10_000)
|> Map.toList
= [
("Shrew", "56423");
]
val partition :
('key, 'value, 'id) t ->
f:(key:'key -> value:'value -> bool) ->
('key, 'value, 'id) t * ('key, 'value, 'id) t
Divide a map into two, the first map will contain the key-value pairs that f
returns true
for, pairs that f
returns false
for will end up in the second.
Examples
let (endangered, notEndangered) = Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.partition ~f:(fun population -> population < 10_000)
in
Map.toList endangered = [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Rhino", 3);
];
Map.toList notEndangered = [
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Shrew", 56_423);
];
val fold :
('key, 'value, _) t ->
initial:'a ->
f:('a -> key:'key -> value:'value -> 'a) ->
'a
Like Array.fold
but f
is also called with both the key
and value
val forEach : (_, 'value, _) t -> f:('value -> unit) -> unit
Runs a function f
against each value in the map.
val forEachI :
('key, 'value, _) t ->
f:(key:'key -> value:'value -> unit) ->
unit
Like Map.forEach
except ~f
is also called with the corresponding key
val keys : ('key, _, _) t -> 'key list
Get a List
of all of the keys in a map.
Examples
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);
("Rhino", 3);
("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.keys = [
"Elephant";
"Mosquito";
"Rhino";
"Shrew";
]
val values : (_, 'value, _) t -> 'value list
Get a List
of all of the values in a map.
Examples
Map.String.ofList [
("Elephant", 3_156);
("Mosquito", 56_123_156);

("Shrew", 56_423);
]
|> Map.values = [
3_156;
56_123_156;
3;
56_423;
]
val toArray : ('key, 'value, _) t -> ('key * 'value) array

of all of the key-value pairs in a map.
val toList : ('key, 'value, _) t -> ('key * 'value) list
