List operations.
Some functions are flagged as not tail-recursive. A tail-recursive function uses constant stack space, while a non-tail-recursive function uses stack space proportional to the length of its list argument, which can be a problem with very long lists. When the function takes several list arguments, an approximate formula giving stack usage (in some unspecified constant unit) is shown in parentheses.
The above considerations can usually be ignored if your lists are not longer than about 10000 elements.
Return the first element of the given list. Raise Failure "hd"
if the list is empty.
Compare the lengths of two lists. compare_lengths l1 l2
is equivalent to compare (length l1) (length l2)
, except that the computation stops after itering on the shortest list.
Compare the length of a list to an integer. compare_length_with l n
is equivalent to compare (length l) n
, except that the computation stops after at most n
iterations on the list.
Return the given list without its first element. Raise Failure "tl"
if the list is empty.
Return the n
-th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0. Raise Failure "nth"
if the list is too short. Raise Invalid_argument "List.nth"
if n
is negative.
Return the n
-th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0. Return None
if the list is too short. Raise Invalid_argument "List.nth"
if n
is negative.
List.rev_append l1 l2
reverses l1
and concatenates it with l2
. This is equivalent to (
List.rev
l1) @ l2
, but rev_append
is tail-recursive and more efficient.
Same as concat
. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).
Iterators
Same as List.iter
, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.
List.fold_left f a [b1; ...; bn]
is f (... (f (f a b1) b2) ...) bn
.
Iterators on two lists
List.iter2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
calls in turn f a1 b1; ...; f an bn
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
List.fold_left2 f a [b1; ...; bn] [c1; ...; cn]
is f (... (f (f a b1 c1) b2 c2) ...) bn cn
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
List scanning
for_all p [a1; ...; an]
checks if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate p
. That is, it returns (p a1) && (p a2) && ... && (p an)
.
exists p [a1; ...; an]
checks if at least one element of the list satisfies the predicate p
. That is, it returns (p a1) || (p a2) || ... || (p an)
.
Same as List.for_all
, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
Same as List.exists
, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.
Same as List.mem
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare list elements.
List searching
find p l
returns the first element of the list l
that satisfies the predicate p
. Raise Not_found
if there is no value that satisfies p
in the list l
.
find p l
returns the first element of the list l
that satisfies the predicate p
. Returns None
if there is no value that satisfies p
in the list l
.
filter p l
returns all the elements of the list l
that satisfy the predicate p
. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
find_all
is another name for List.filter
.
partition p l
returns a pair of lists (l1, l2)
, where l1
is the list of all the elements of l
that satisfy the predicate p
, and l2
is the list of all the elements of l
that do not satisfy p
. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
Association lists
assoc a l
returns the value associated with key a
in the list of pairs l
. That is, assoc a [ ...; (a,b); ...] = b
if (a,b)
is the leftmost binding of a
in list l
. Raise Not_found
if there is no value associated with a
in the list l
.
Same as List.assoc
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Same as List.assoc_opt
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Same as List.assoc
, but simply return true if a binding exists, and false if no bindings exist for the given key.
Same as List.mem_assoc
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Lists of pairs
Sorting
Sort a list in increasing order according to a comparison function. The comparison function must return 0 if its arguments compare as equal, a positive integer if the first is greater, and a negative integer if the first is smaller (see Array.sort for a complete specification). For example, Stdlib.compare
is a suitable comparison function. The resulting list is sorted in increasing order. List.sort
is guaranteed to run in constant heap space (in addition to the size of the result list) and logarithmic stack space.
The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It runs in constant heap space and logarithmic stack space.
Same as List.sort
, but the sorting algorithm is guaranteed to be stable (i.e. elements that compare equal are kept in their original order) .
The current implementation uses Merge Sort. It runs in constant heap space and logarithmic stack space.
Same as List.sort
or List.stable_sort
, whichever is faster on typical input.
Same as List.sort
, but also remove duplicates.
