Lazy list or Stream

Type
type 'a desc =
  1. | Cons of 'a * 'a desc lazy_t
  2. | Null
type 'a t = 'a desc lazy_t
Constructors
val null : 'a t

a constant null

val cons : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t
val (^^) : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

same as cons

val singleton : 'a -> 'a t
val create : ('st -> ('a * 'st) option) -> 'st -> 'a t

Pure functional creator

Deconstructors
val hd : 'a t -> 'a
val tl : 'a t -> 'a t
val peek : 'a t -> ('a * 'a t) option

You can use match with lazy pattern instead of peek

val is_null : 'a t -> bool

null check

val nth : 'a t -> int -> 'a
val length : 'a t -> int
Conversions between the eager list
val to_list : 'a t -> 'a list

Conversion from a lazy stream to a strict list. Do not use against inifinite streams.

val of_list : 'a list -> 'a t

Conversion from a strict list to a lazy stream. The conversion itself is done strictly: the result has no reference to the original list

Misc functions
val take : int -> 'a t -> 'a t

take n t takes the first n elements of t. Lazy.

val init : 'a t -> 'a t

init t returns the same list t but without its final element.

val rev : 'a t -> 'a t
val filter : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t
val filter_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a t -> 'b t
val concat : 'a t t -> 'a t
val mem : 'a -> 'a t -> bool

Membership. Never terminates over inifinite streams.

val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit

Iteration. Never terminates over inifinite streams.

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Map

val fold_left : ('a Lazy.t -> 'b -> 'a Lazy.t) -> 'a Lazy.t -> 'b t -> 'a Lazy.t

Folding left

val fold_left1 : ('a Lazy.t -> 'a Lazy.t -> 'a Lazy.t) -> 'a Lazy.t t -> 'a Lazy.t

fold_left1 f (x^^xs) = fold_left f x xs fold_left1 f null raises an exception.

val fold_left' : ('a -> 'b -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a t -> 'b

Folding left, strict version. Never terminates over inifinite streams. Tail recursive.

val fold_right : ('a -> 'b lazy_t -> 'b lazy_t) -> 'a t -> 'b lazy_t -> 'b lazy_t

fold_right f t init. Folding right. Not tail recursive. If laziness is required, it is the responsibility of f.

val fold_right1 : ('a -> 'a lazy_t -> 'a lazy_t) -> 'a t -> 'a lazy_t -> 'a lazy_t

fold_right1 f (append xs (singleton x)) = fold_right f xs x fold_right1 f null raises an exception. If laziness is required, it is the responsibility of f.

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

Append. Lazy.

val intercalate : 'a t -> 'a t t -> 'a t

Haskell's intercalate

val intersparse : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

Haskell's intersparse

val split_at : int -> 'a t -> 'a list * 'a t

Haskell's splitAt. Prefix is forced.

val split_at' : int -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a t

Haskell's splitAt. Prefix is lazy.

Inpure hacks
val rev_between : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a list
val between : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a list

Get elements between two points of the *same* stream.

The first argument of rev_between and between must point the former element of the stream than the second argument. Otherwise, the behaviour of rev_between and between are not specified: a wrong result or memory exhaustion by an infinite loop.

Monadic interface

include Monad.T with type 'a t := 'a t
include Monad_intf.S1 with type 'a t := 'a t
val return : 'a -> 'a t
val bind : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t
include Monad_intf.EX1 with type 'a t := 'a t
val fmap : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

fmap in Haskell

val liftM : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

synonym of fmap

val fmap2 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

fmap2 in Haskell

val liftM2 : ('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a t -> 'b t -> 'c t

synonym of fmap2

val void : 'a t -> unit t
val seq : 'a t list -> 'a list t

sequence in Haskell. Not tail recursive.

val seq_ : unit t list -> unit t

sequence_ in Haskell. Not tail recursive.

val mapM : ('a -> 'b t) -> 'a list -> 'b list t

Not tail recursive

val mapM_ : ('a -> unit t) -> 'a list -> unit t

Not tail recursive

val iteri : (int -> 'a -> unit t) -> 'a list -> unit t

Iteration with index starting from 0. Not tail recursive.

val for_ : int -> int -> (int -> unit t) -> unit t

for like iteration. Not tail recursive

val join : 'a t t -> 'a t
include Monad_intf.Infix1 with type 'a t := 'a t
val (>>=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b t) -> 'b t

synonym of bind

val (>>|) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t

synonum of fmap, with the flipped arguments

Applicative style binops

val (^<$>) : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

same as map, <$> in Haskell

val (/<*>) : ('a -> 'b) t -> 'a t -> 'b t

<*> in Haskell

module EX : Monad_intf.EX1 with type 'a t := 'a t
