Module Util.List

Lexicographic order on lists.

Lift equality to list type.

Check whether a list is empty

Same as List.mem, for some specific equality

Same as List.for_all but with an index

Same as List.for_all2 but returning false when of different length

Same as List.exists but with an index

prefix_of eq l1 l2 returns true if l1 is a prefix of l2, false otherwise. It uses eq to compare elements

A more efficient variant of for_all2eq (fun _ _ -> true)

interval i j creates the list [i; i + 1; ...; j], or [] when j <= i.

make n x returns a list made of n times x. Raise Invalid_argument _ if n is negative.

addn n x l adds n times x on the left of l.

init n f constructs the list f 0; ... ; f (n - 1). Raise Invalid_argument _ if n is negative

Like OCaml's List.append but tail-recursive.

Like OCaml's List.concat but tail-recursive.

Synonymous of concat

assign l i x sets the i-th element of l to x, starting from 0. Raise Failure _ if i is out of range.

Like OCaml List.filter but tail-recursive and physically returns the original list if the predicate holds for all elements.

Like List.filter but with 2 arguments, raise Invalid_argument _ if the lists are not of same length.

Like List.filter but with an index starting from 0

filter_with bl l selects elements of l whose corresponding element in bl is true. Raise Invalid_argument _ if sizes differ.

Like map but keeping only non-None elements

Like map_filter but with an index starting from 0

Like List.partition but with an index starting from 0

Like OCaml List.map but tail-recursive

Like OCaml List.map2 but tail-recursive

As map but ensures the left-to-right order of evaluation.

Like OCaml List.mapi but tail-recursive. Alternatively, like map but with an index

Like map2 but with an index

Like map but for 3 lists.

Like map but for 4 lists.

map_of_array f a behaves as List.map f (Array.to_list a)

map_append f [x1; ...; xn] returns f x1 @ ... @ f xn.

Like map_append but for two lists; raises Invalid_argument _ if the two lists do not have the same length.

extend l a [a1..an] assumes that the number of true in l is n; it extends a1..an by inserting a at the position of false in l

Count the number of elements satisfying a predicate

index returns the 1st index of an element in a list (counting from 1).

safe_index returns the 1st index of an element in a list (counting from 1) and None otherwise.

index0 behaves as index except that it starts counting at 0.

acts like fold_left f acc s while f returns Cont acc'; it stops returning c as soon as f returns Stop c.

Like List.fold_right but with an index

Like List.fold_left but with an index

fold_right_and_left f [a1;...;an] hd is f (f (... (f (f hd an [an-1;...;a1]) an-1 [an-2;...;a1]) ...) a2 [a1]) a1 []

Like List.fold_left but for 3 lists; raise Invalid_argument _ if not all lists of the same size

Fold sets, i.e. lists up to order; the folding function tells when elements match by returning a value and raising the given exception otherwise; sets should have the same size; raise the given exception if no pairing of the two sets is found;; complexity in O(n^2)

fold_left_map f e_0 [a1;...;an] is e_n,[k_1...k_n] where (e_i,k_i) is f e_{i-1} ai for each i<=n

Same, folding on the right

Same with two lists, folding on the left

Same with two lists, folding on the right

Same with three lists, folding on the left

Same with four lists, folding on the left

except eq a l Remove all occurrences of a in l

Alias of except

Remove the first element satisfying a predicate, or raise Not_found

Remove and return the first element satisfying a predicate, or raise Not_found

Returns the first element that is mapped to Some _. Raise Not_found if there is none.

goto i l splits l into two lists (l1,l2) such that (List.rev l1)++l2=l and l1 has length i. It raises IndexOutOfRange when i is negative or greater than the length of l.

split_when p l splits l into two lists (l1,a::l2) such that l1++(a::l2)=l, p a=true and p b = false for every element b of l1. if there is no such a, then it returns (l,[]) instead.

sep_last l returns (a,l') such that l is l'@[a]. It raises Failure _ if the list is empty.

Remove the last element of the list. It raises Failure _ if the list is empty. This is the second part of sep_last.

Return the last element of the list. It raises Failure _ if the list is empty. This is the first part of sep_last.

lastn n l returns the n last elements of l. It raises Failure _ if n is less than 0 or larger than the length of l

chop i l splits l into two lists (l1,l2) such that l1++l2=l and l1 has length i. It raises Failure _ when i is negative or greater than the length of l.

firstn n l Returns the n first elements of l. It raises Failure _ if n negative or too large. This is the first part of chop.

skipn n l drops the n first elements of l. It raises Failure _ if n is less than 0 or larger than the length of l. This is the second part of chop.

Same as skipn but returns if n is larger than the length of the list.

drop_prefix eq l1 l returns l2 if l=l1++l2 else return l.

Insert at the (first) position so that if the list is ordered wrt to the total order given as argument, the order is preserved

share_tails l1 l2 returns (l1',l2',l) such that l1 is l1'\@l and l2 is l2'\@l and l is maximal amongst all such decompositions

Applies a function on the codomain of an association list

Like List.assoc but using the equality given as argument

Remove first matching element; unchanged if no such element

Like List.mem_assoc but using the equality given as argument

Create a list of associations from a list of pairs

Like OCaml's List.split but tail-recursive.

Like OCaml's List.combine but tail-recursive.

Like split but for triples

Like split but for quads

Like combine but for triples

add_set x l adds x in l if it is not already there, or returns l otherwise.

Test equality up to permutation. It respects multiple occurrences and thus works also on multisets.

Tell if a list is a subset of another up to permutation. It expects each element to occur only once.

Merge two sorted lists and preserves the uniqueness property.

Return the intersection of two lists, assuming and preserving uniqueness of elements

Return the union of two lists, assuming and preserving uniqueness of elements

union specialized to physical equality

Remove from the first list all elements from the second list.

subtract specialized to physical equality

Return true if all elements of the list are distinct.

Like distinct but using the equality given as argument

Return the list of unique elements which appear at least twice. Elements are kept in the order of their first appearance.

Return the list of elements without duplicates using the function to associate a comparison key to each element. This is the list unchanged if there was none.

Return the list of elements without duplicates. This is the list unchanged if there was none.

Return a sorted version of a list without duplicates according to some comparison function.

Return minimum element according to some comparison function.

raises Not_found

on an empty list.

A generic binary cartesian product: for any operator (**), cartesian (**) [x1;x2] [y1;y2] = [x1**y1; x1**y2; x2**y1; x2**y1], and so on if there are more elements in the lists.

cartesians op init l is an n-ary cartesian product: it builds the list of all op a1 .. (op an init) .. for a1, ..., an in the product of the elements of the lists

combinations l returns the list of n_1 * ... * n_p tuples [a11;...;ap1];...;[a1n_1;...;apn_pd] whenever l is a list [a11;..;a1n_1];...;[ap1;apn_p]; otherwise said, it is cartesians (::) [] l

Like cartesians op init l but keep only the tuples for which op returns Some _ on all the elements of the tuple.
