Type

type 'a t = 'a list

Construction

val empty : 'a t

empty = []

val singleton : 'a -> 'a t

singleton x = [x]

val make : int -> 'a -> 'a t

make n x returns a list of length n filled with x. Throws Invalid_argument "List.make" when n < 0.

val init : int -> (int -> 'a) -> 'a t

init n f returns a list of [f 0; f 1; ..; f (n-1)]. Throws Invalid_argument "List.init" when n < 0.

Conversions

val to_list : 'a t -> 'a list
val to_array : 'a t -> 'a array
val of_list : 'a list -> 'a t
val of_array : 'a array -> 'a t

Basics

val append : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

Tail recursive version of List.append

val (@) : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

Tail recursive version of List.(@)

val concat : 'a t t -> 'a t

Tail recursive version of List.concat

val flatten : 'a t t -> 'a t

Tail recursive version of List.flatten

val replicate : 'a t -> int -> 'a t

replicate xs n concatenates the list xs n-times

Folding

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list
val mapi : (int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list
val map2 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> 'c list
val split : ('a * 'b) list -> 'a list * 'b list
val merge : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list
val fold_right : ('a -> 'st -> 'st) -> 'a t -> 'st -> 'st
val fold_left1 : ('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a

List must be non-empty. Otherwise, it raises Invalid_argment "fold_left1".

val fold_right1 : ('a -> 'a -> 'a) -> 'a list -> 'a

List must be non-empty. Otherwise, it raises Invalid_argment "fold_left1".

val concat_map : ('a -> 'b list) -> 'a list -> 'b list

concat_map f xs = concat @@ map f xs but much faster.

val rev_concat_map : ('a -> 'b list) -> 'a list -> 'b list

concat_map f xs = rev @@ concat @@ map f xs but much faster.

val map_accum_left : ('acc -> 'a -> 'acc * 'b) -> 'acc -> 'a t -> 'acc * 'b list

mapAccumL f acc t behaves like a combination of map and fold_left; it applies a function f to each element of a list t, passing an accumulating parameter acc from left to right, and returning a final value of this accumulator together with the new list.

Access

val last : 'a list -> 'a

The last element of the list. Raises Failure when the argument is . last [1;2;3] = 3

Find and assoc

val find_opt : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a option
val find_map_opt : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b option
val remove_first_match : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list
val assoc_all : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b list
val assoc_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b option
val remove_assoc : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list
val remove_assq : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list

Sublist by index

val take : int -> 'a list -> 'a list
val drop : int -> 'a list -> 'a list
val sub_default : 'a list -> int -> int -> 'a list

sub_default t pos len returns a sublist of t from the position pos (0-start) and length len.

The region specified by pos and len is trimmed by t: if it exceeds the size of t, it is intersected with the region from 0 and length List.length t. One tricky example is:

sub_default [0;1;2;3;4;5] (-1) 3 = [0;1]

val take_exn : int -> 'a list -> 'a list
val drop_exn : int -> 'a list -> 'a list
val sub : 'a list -> int -> int -> 'a list
val split_at : int -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

Haskell's splitAt. Always succeeds.

val splits_by : int -> 'a list -> 'a list list

Split a list into sub-lists of the fixed length

Sublist by predicate

val filter_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b list
val rev_filter_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a list -> 'b list
val span : ('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

span p xs extract the longest prefix of xs whose elements satisfy p.

val partition_map : ('a -> [< `Left of 'left | `Right of 'right ]) -> 'a list -> 'left list * 'right list

Sort and uniq

val uniq_dup : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * ('a * 'a) list

Filter out duplicate elements using the given equality. The first result list is the list of first unique occurrences, the second result list is the rest, the duplications removed from the first result list, paired with the corresponding element of the first result list.

O(n^2).

val uniq_dup_sorted : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list * ('a * 'a) list

Same as uniq_dup but only works for already sorted by the same ordering. O(n log n)

val unique : 'a list -> 'a list

Haskell's nub. O(n^2)

val unique_by : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list
val has_dup : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'a) option

Check the list is a unique list or not, wrt the equality function. If not, it returns a dupe example.

has_dup (fun x y -> fst x = fst y) [(1,2); (2,3); (4,5)] = None has_dup (fun x y -> fst x = fst y) [(1,2); (2,3); (2,5)] = Some ( (2,3), (2,5) )

O(n^2)

val group : 'a list -> 'a list list

group xs returns a list of lists such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument. Moreover, each sublist in the result contains only equal elements:

group ['M'; 'i'; 's'; 's'; 'i'; 's'; 's'; 'i'; 'p'; 'p'; 'i'] = [['M'],['i'],['s';'s'];['i'];['s';'s'];['i'];['p';'p'];['i']]

Haskell's group.

val group_by : ('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list list

Same as group but equality can be given. Haskell's groupBy

val sort_then_group_by : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list list

sort then group_by

Composition

val zip : 'a list -> 'b list -> ('a * 'b) list

Haskell's zip. Like List.combine but does not raise when the lengths are not equal. Tail recursive.

With reference

val accum : 'a list ref -> 'a -> unit

accum xsref x is equivalent with xsref := x :: !xsref

val (+::=) : 'a list ref -> 'a -> unit

Same as accum

Integer ranges

val from_to : int -> int -> int list

from_to f t = [f..t]

val (--) : int -> int -> int list

Same as from_to. f--t = [f..t]

val init_from_to : int -> int -> (int -> 'a) -> 'a list

init_from_to f t fn = [fn x | x <- [f..t] ]

Misc

val intersperse : 'a -> 'a list -> 'a list
val sum : int list -> int

Deprecated

val iter_until : ('a -> [ `Break of 'b | `Continue ]) -> 'a list -> 'b option
  • deprecated Use Base.loop instead.
val scani_left : (int -> 'a -> 'b -> [< `Continue of 'a | `Stop of 'a ]) -> 'a -> 'b list -> 'a
  • deprecated Use Base.loop instead.
val is_unique : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> ('a * 'a) option

Check the list is a unique list or not, wrt the key function. If not, it returns a dupe example.
