Module Pairing_heapSource

Heap implementation based on a pairing-heap.

This heap implementations supports an arbitrary element type via a comparison function.

Sourcetype 'a t

of_sexp and bin_io functions aren't supplied for heaps due to the difficulties in reconstructing the correct comparison function when de-serializing.

Sourceval sexp_of_t : ('a -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t) -> 'a t -> Sexplib0.Sexp.t

Mutation of the heap during iteration is not supported, but there is no check to prevent it. The behavior of a heap that is mutated during iteration is undefined.

include Core.Container.S1 with type 'a t := 'a t
Sourceval mem : 'a t -> 'a -> equal:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> bool

Checks whether the provided element is there, using equal.

Sourceval length : 'a t -> int
Sourceval is_empty : 'a t -> bool
Sourceval iter : 'a t -> f:('a -> unit) -> unit
Sourceval fold : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> 'acc) -> 'acc

fold t ~init ~f returns f (... f (f (f init e1) e2) e3 ...) en, where e1..en are the elements of t

Sourceval fold_result : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> ('acc, 'e) Base.Result.t) -> ('acc, 'e) Base.Result.t

fold_result t ~init ~f is a short-circuiting version of fold that runs in the Result monad. If f returns an Error _, that value is returned without any additional invocations of f.

Sourceval fold_until : 'a t -> init:'acc -> f:('acc -> 'a -> ('acc, 'final) Base.Container.Continue_or_stop.t) -> finish:('acc -> 'final) -> 'final

fold_until t ~init ~f ~finish is a short-circuiting version of fold. If f returns Stop _ the computation ceases and results in that value. If f returns Continue _, the fold will proceed. If f never returns Stop _, the final result is computed by finish.

Example:

  type maybe_negative =
    | Found_negative of int
    | All_nonnegative of { sum : int }

  (** [first_neg_or_sum list] returns the first negative number in [list], if any,
      otherwise returns the sum of the list. *)
  let first_neg_or_sum =
    List.fold_until ~init:0
      ~f:(fun sum x ->
        if x < 0
        then Stop (Found_negative x)
        else Continue (sum + x))
      ~finish:(fun sum -> All_nonnegative { sum })
  ;;

  let x = first_neg_or_sum [1; 2; 3; 4; 5]
  val x : maybe_negative = All_nonnegative {sum = 15}

  let y = first_neg_or_sum [1; 2; -3; 4; 5]
  val y : maybe_negative = Found_negative -3
Sourceval exists : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> bool

Returns true if and only if there exists an element for which the provided function evaluates to true. This is a short-circuiting operation.

Sourceval for_all : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> bool

Returns true if and only if the provided function evaluates to true for all elements. This is a short-circuiting operation.

Sourceval count : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> int

Returns the number of elements for which the provided function evaluates to true.

Returns the sum of f i for all i in the container.

Sourceval sum : (module Base.Container.Summable with type t = 'sum) -> 'a t -> f:('a -> 'sum) -> 'sum
Sourceval find : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> 'a option

Returns as an option the first element for which f evaluates to true.

Sourceval find_map : 'a t -> f:('a -> 'b option) -> 'b option

Returns the first evaluation of f that returns Some, and returns None if there is no such element.

Sourceval to_list : 'a t -> 'a list
Sourceval to_array : 'a t -> 'a array
include Core.Invariant.S1 with type 'a t := 'a t
Sourceval invariant : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit

Even though these two functions min_elt and max_elt are part of Container.S1, they are documented separately to make sure there is no confusion. They are independent of the comparison function used to order the heap. Instead, a traversal of the entire structure is done using the provided compare function to find a min or max.

If you want to access the smallest element of the heap according to the heap's comparison function in constant time, you should use top.

Sourceval min_elt : 'a t -> compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a option
Sourceval max_elt : 'a t -> compare:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a option
Sourceval create : ?min_size:int -> cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> unit -> 'a t

create ?min_size ~cmp returns a new min-heap that can store min_size elements without reallocations, using ordering function cmp.

The top of the heap is the smallest element as determined by the provided comparison function. In particular, if cmp x y < 0 then x will be "on top of" y in the heap.

Memory use can be surprising in that the underlying pool never shrinks, so current memory use will at least be proportional to the largest number of elements that the heap has ever held.

Sourceval of_array : 'a array -> cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a t

min_size (see create) will be set to the size of the input array or list.

Sourceval of_list : 'a list -> cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a t
Sourceval top : 'a t -> 'a option

Returns the top (i.e., smallest) element of the heap.

Sourceval top_exn : 'a t -> 'a
Sourceval add : 'a t -> 'a -> unit
Sourceval remove_top : _ t -> unit

remove_top t does nothing if t is empty.

Sourceval clear : _ t -> unit

Removes all elements, leaving an empty heap. This operation is O(n) where n is the size of the heap.

Sourceval pop : 'a t -> 'a option

pop removes and returns the top (i.e. least) element.

Sourceval pop_exn : 'a t -> 'a
Sourceval pop_if : 'a t -> ('a -> bool) -> 'a option

pop_if t cond returns Some top_element of t if it satisfies condition cond, removing it, or None in any other case.

Sourceval pop_while : 'a t -> ('a -> bool) -> 'a list

pop_while t cond returns a list of top elements from t while they satisfy condition cond, removing each of them, or an empty list if none of the elements satisfy the condition. The returned list is in order of removal.

Sourceval copy : 'a t -> 'a t

copy t returns a shallow copy.

Sourcemodule Elt : sig ... end
Sourceval add_removable : 'a t -> 'a -> 'a Elt.t

add_removable t v adds v to t, returning a token that can be used to delete v from t in lg(n) amortized time.

Note that while add doesn't allocate unless the underlying pool needs to be resized, add_removable always allocates. The Unsafe module has a non-allocating alternative.

Sourceval remove : 'a t -> 'a Elt.t -> unit

If t and token are mismatched then behavior is undefined. Trying to remove an already removed token (by an earlier call to remove or pop for instance) is a no-op, but keeping token around after it has been removed may lead to memory leaks since it has a reference to the heap.

Sourceval update : 'a t -> 'a Elt.t -> 'a -> 'a Elt.t

update t token v is shorthand for remove t token; add_removable t v.

Sourceval find_elt : 'a t -> f:('a -> bool) -> 'a Elt.t option

find_elt t ~f. If f is true for some element in t, return an Elt.t for that element. This operation is O(n).

Sourcemodule Unsafe : sig ... end

Unsafe functions provide faster alternatives to regular functions with the same name. They don't allocate but the behavior is unspecified and could be memory unsafe in certain cases where regular functions would fail with informative exceptions.
