sublists_of_len 3 ~last:CCOpt.return [1;2;3;4] = [1;2;3];[4].
sublists_of_len 2 [1;2;3;4;5] = [[1;2]; [3;4]].

parameter offset: the number of elements skipped between two consecutive sub-lists. By default it is n. If offset < n, the sub-lists will overlap; if offset > n, some elements will not appear at all.

parameter last: if provided and the last group of elements g is such that length g < n, last g is called. If last g = Some g', g' is appended; otherwise g is dropped. If last = CCOpt.return, it will simply keep the last group. By default, last = fun _ -> None, i.e. the last group is dropped if shorter than n.

val get_at_idx_exn : int -> 'a t -> 'a

get_at_idx_exn i l gets the i-th element of l, or

raises Not_found: if the index is invalid. The first element has index 0. If the index is negative, it will get element starting from the end of the list.

val set_at_idx : int -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t: set_at_idx i x l replaces the i-th element with x (removes the old one), or does nothing if index is too high. If the index is negative, it will set element starting from the end of the list.

val insert_at_idx : int -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t: insert_at_idx i x l inserts x at i-th position, between the two existing elements. If the index is too high, append at the end of the list. If the index is negative, it will insert element starting from the end of the list.

val remove_at_idx : int -> 'a t -> 'a t: remove_at_idx i l removes element at given index i. Does nothing if the index is too high. If the index is negative, it will remove element starting from the end of the list.

Set Operators

Those operations maintain the invariant that the list does not contain duplicates (if it already satisfies it).

val add_nodup : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

add_nodup ~eq x set adds x to set if it was not already present. Linear time.

since: 0.11

val remove_one : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

remove_one ~eq x set removes one occurrence of x from set. Linear time.

since: 0.11

val mem : ?⁠eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> bool: mem ?eq x l is true iff x is equal to an element of l. A comparator function eq can be provided. Linear time.

val subset : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> bool: subset ~eq l1 l2 tests if all elements of the list l1 are contained in the list l2 by applying eq.

val uniq : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t: uniq ~eq l removes duplicates in l w.r.t the equality predicate eq. Complexity is quadratic in the length of the list, but the order of elements is preserved. If you wish for a faster de-duplication but do not care about the order, use sort_uniq.

val union : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t: union ~eq l1 l2 is the union of the lists l1 and l2 w.r.t. the equality predicate eq. Complexity is product of length of inputs.

val inter : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t: inter ~eq l1 l2 is the intersection of the lists l1 and l2 w.r.t. the equality predicate eq. Complexity is product of length of inputs.

Other Constructors

val range_by : step:int -> int -> int -> int t

range_by ~step i j iterates on integers from i to j included, where the difference between successive elements is step. Use a negative step for a decreasing list.

raises Invalid_argument: if step=0.

since: 0.18

val range : int -> int -> int t: range i j iterates on integers from i to j included. It works both for decreasing and increasing ranges.

val range' : int -> int -> int t: range' i j is like range but the second bound j is excluded. For instance range' 0 5 = [0;1;2;3;4].

val (--) : int -> int -> int t: i -- j is the list of integers from i to j included. Infix alias for range.

val (--^) : int -> int -> int t

i --^ j is the list of integers from i to j excluded. Infix alias for range'.

since: 0.17

val replicate : int -> 'a -> 'a t: replicate n x replicates the given element x n times.

val repeat : int -> 'a t -> 'a t: repeat n l concatenates the list l with itself n times.

Association Lists

module Assoc : sig ... end

val assoc : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b

assoc ~eq k alist returns the value v associated with key k in alist. Like Assoc.get_exn.

since: 2.0

val assoc_opt : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b option

assoc_opt ~eq k alist returns Some v if the given key k is present into alist, or None if not present. Like Assoc.get.

since: 1.5, but only

since: 2.0 with labels

val assq_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b option

assq_opt k alist returns Some v if the given key k is present into alist. Like Assoc.assoc_opt but use physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys. Safe version of assq.

since: 2.0 with labels

val mem_assoc : ?⁠eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * _) t -> bool

mem_assoc ?eq k alist returns true iff k is a key in alist. Like Assoc.mem.

since: 2.0

val remove_assoc : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> ('a * 'b) t

remove_assoc ~eq k alist returns the alist without the first pair with key k, if any. Like Assoc.remove.
