Module `Tablecloth.Int`

Fixed precision integers

The platform-dependant signed integer type.

An int is a whole number.

ints are subject to overflow, meaning that Int.maximumValue + 1 = Int.minimumValue.

If you need to work with integers larger than maximumValue (or smaller than minimumValue you can use the Integer module.

Valid syntax for ints includes:

  0
  42
  9000
  1_000_000
  1_000_000
  0xFF (* 255 in hexadecimal *)
  0x000A (* 10 in hexadecimal *)

Note: The number of bits used for an int is platform dependent.

When targeting Bucklescript https://bucklescript.github.io/docs/en/common-data-types.html#int.

When targeting native OCaml uses 31-bits on 32-bit platforms and 63-bits on 64-bit platforms which means that int math is well-defined in the range -2 ** 30 to 2 ** 30 - 1 for 32bit platforms -2 ** 62 to 2 ** 62 - 1 for 64bit platforms.

Outside of that range, the behavior is determined by the compilation target.

You can read about the reasons for OCaml's unusual integer sizes here.

Historical Note: The name int comes from the term integer). It appears that the int abbreviation was introduced in the programming language ALGOL 68.

Today, almost all programming languages use this abbreviation.

type t = int

Constants

Create

val fromString : string -> t option

Attempt to parse a string into a int.

Examples

Int.fromString "0" = Some 0.

Int.fromString "42" = Some 42.

Int.fromString "-3" = Some (-3)

Int.fromString "123_456" = Some 123_456

Int.fromString "0xFF" = Some 255

Int.fromString "0x00A" = Some 10

Int.fromString "Infinity" = None

Int.fromString "NaN" = None

val from_string : string -> t option

Operators

Note You do not need to open the Int module to use the (+), (-), (*), (**), (mod) or (/) operators, these are available as soon as you open Tablecloth

val add : t -> t -> t

Add two Int numbers.

Int.add 3002 4004 = 7006

Or using the globally available operator:

3002 + 4004 = 7006

You cannot add an int and a float directly though.

See Float.add for why, and how to overcome this limitation.

val (+) : t -> t -> t

See Int.add

val subtract : t -> t -> t

Subtract numbers

Int.subtract 4 3 = 1

Alternatively the operator can be used:

4 - 3 = 1

val (-) : t -> t -> t

See Int.subtract

val multiply : t -> t -> t

Multiply ints like

Int.multiply 2 7 = 14

Alternatively the operator can be used:

(2 * 7) = 14

val (*) : t -> t -> t

See Int.multiply

val divide : t -> by:t -> t

Integer division

Notice that the remainder is discarded.

Exceptions

Throws Division_by_zero when the divisor is 0.

Examples

Int.divide 3 ~by:2 = 1

27 / 5 = 5

val (/) : t -> t -> t

See Int.divide

val (/.) : t -> t -> float

Floating point division

Examples

Int.(3 /. 2) = 1.5

Int.(27 /. 5) = 5.25

Int.(8 /. 4) = 2.0

val power : base:t -> exponent:t -> t

Exponentiation, takes the base first, then the exponent.

Examples

Int.power ~base:7 ~exponent:3 = 343

Alternatively the ** operator can be used:

7 ** 3 = 343

val (**) : t -> t -> t

See Int.power

val negate : t -> t

Flips the 'sign' of an integer so that positive integers become negative and negative integers become positive. Zero stays as it is.

Examples

Int.negate 8 = (-8)

Int.negate (-7) = 7

Int.negate 0 = 0

Alternatively the ~- operator can be used:

~-(7) = (-7)

val (~-) : t -> t

See Int.negate

val absolute : t -> t

Get the absolute value of a number.

Examples

Int.absolute 8 = 8

Int.absolute (-7) = 7

Int.absolute 0 = 0

val modulo : t -> by:t -> t

Perform modular arithmetic.

If you intend to use modulo to detect even and odd numbers consider using Int.isEven or Int.isOdd.

The modulo function works in the typical mathematical way when you run into negative numbers

Use Int.remainder for a different treatment of negative numbers.

Examples

Int.modulo ~by:3 (-4) = 1

Int.modulo ~by:3 (-3 )= 0

Int.modulo ~by:3 (-2) = 2

Int.modulo ~by:3 (-1) = 1

Int.modulo ~by:3 0 = 0

Int.modulo ~by:3 1 = 1

Int.modulo ~by:3 2 = 2

Int.modulo ~by:3 3 = 0

Int.modulo ~by:3 4 = 1

val (mod) : t -> t -> t

See Int.modulo

val remainder : t -> by:t -> t

Get the remainder after division. Here are bunch of examples of dividing by four:

Use Int.modulo for a different treatment of negative numbers.

Examples

  List.map
    ~f:(Int.remainder ~by:4)
    [(-5); (-4); (-3); (-2); (-1); 0; 1; 2; 3; 4; 5] =
      [(-1); 0; (-3); (-2); (-1); 0; 1; 2; 3; 0; 1]

val maximum : t -> t -> t

Returns the larger of two ints

Examples

Int.maximum 7 9 = 9

Int.maximum (-4) (-1) = (-1)

val minimum : t -> t -> t

Returns the smaller of two ints

Examples

Int.minimum 7 9 = 7

Int.minimum (-4) (-1) = (-4)

Query

val isEven : t -> bool

Check if an int is even

Examples

Int.isEven 8 = true

Int.isEven 7 = false

Int.isEven 0 = true

val is_even : t -> bool

val isOdd : t -> bool

Check if an int is odd

Examples

Int.isOdd 7 = true

Int.isOdd 8 = false

Int.isOdd 0 = false

val is_odd : t -> bool

val clamp : t -> lower:t -> upper:t -> t

Clamps n within the inclusive lower and upper bounds.

Exceptions

Throws an Invalid_argument exception if lower > upper

Examples

Int.clamp ~lower:0 ~upper:8 5 = 5

Int.clamp ~lower:0 ~upper:8 9 = 8

Int.clamp ~lower:(-10) ~upper:(-5) 5 = (-5)

val inRange : t -> lower:t -> upper:t -> bool

Checks if n is between lower and up to, but not including, upper.

Exceptions

Throws an Invalid_argument exception if lower > upper

Examples

Int.inRange ~lower:2 ~upper:4 3 = true

Int.inRange ~lower:5 ~upper:8 4 = false

Int.inRange ~lower:(-6) ~upper:(-2) (-3) = true

val in_range : t -> lower:t -> upper:t -> bool

Convert

val toFloat : t -> float

Convert an integer into a float. Useful when mixing Int and Float values like this:

Examples

  let halfOf (number : int) : float =
    Float.((Int.toFloat number) / 2)
    (* Note that locally opening the {!Float} module here allows us to use the floating point division operator *)
  in
  halfOf 7 = 3.5

val to_float : t -> float

val toString : t -> string

Convert an int into a string representation.

Guarantees that

Int.(fromString (toString n)) = Some n

Examples

Int.toString 3 = "3"

Int.toString (-3) = "-3"

Int.to_sString 0 = "0"

val to_string : t -> string

Compare

val equal : t -> t -> bool
