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 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.
Concatenate a list of lists. The elements of the argument are all concatenated together (in the same order) to give the result. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).
Same as concat
. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).
Iterators
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.map2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
is [f a1 b1; ...; f an bn]
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
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.fold_right2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] c
is f a1 b1 (f a2 b2 (... (f an bn c) ...))
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
List scanning
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
. Returns None
if there is no value that satisfies p
in the list l
.
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_opt 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
. Returns None
if there is no value associated with a
in the list l
.
Same as List.assoc_opt
, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Lists of pairs
Transform a list of pairs into a pair of lists: split [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)]
is ([a1; ...; an], [b1; ...; bn])
. Not tail-recursive.
Transform a pair of lists into a list of pairs: combine [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn]
is [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)]
. Raise Invalid_argument
if the two lists have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.
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, Pervasives.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.
Iterators
val to_seq : 'a list -> 'a Seq.t
Iterate on the list
val of_seq : 'a Seq.t -> 'a list
Create a list from the iterator
changing the order of arguments on some standard List
functions.
