Concatenate two lists. Same function as the infix operator @. Not tail-recursive (length of the first argument). The @ operator is not tail-recursive either.
rev_append l1 l2 reverses l1 and concatenates it with l2. This is equivalent to (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).
iter f [a1; ...; an] applies function f in turn to a1; ...; an. It is equivalent to begin f a1; f a2; ...; f an; () end.
map f [a1; ...; an] applies function f to a1, ..., an, and builds the list [f a1; ...; f an] with the results returned by f. Not tail-recursive.
fold_left_map is a combination of fold_left and map that threads an accumulator through calls to f.
fold_left f init [b1; ...; bn] is f (... (f (f init b1) b2) ...) bn.
fold_right f [a1; ...; an] init is f a1 (f a2 (... (f an init) ...)). Not tail-recursive.
iter2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] calls in turn f a1 b1; ...; f an bn.
map2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] is [f a1 b1; ...; f an bn].
fold_left2 f init [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] is f (... (f (f init a1 b1) a2 b2) ...) an bn.
fold_right2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] init is f a1 b1 (f a2 b2 (... (f an bn init) ...)).
for_all f [a1; ...; an] checks if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate f. That is, it returns (f a1) && (f a2) && ... && (f an) for a non-empty list and true if the list is empty.
exists f [a1; ...; an] checks if at least one element of the list satisfies the predicate f. That is, it returns (f a1) || (f a2) || ... || (f an) for a non-empty list and false if the list is empty.
Same as for_all, but for a two-argument predicate.
Same as exists, but for a two-argument predicate.
Same as mem, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare list elements.
find f l returns the first element of the list l that satisfies the predicate f.
filter f l returns all the elements of the list l that satisfy the predicate f. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
find_all is another name for filter.
Same as filter, but the predicate is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.
partition f l returns a pair of lists (l1, l2), where l1 is the list of all the elements of l that satisfy the predicate f, and l2 is the list of all the elements of l that do not satisfy f. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.
Same as assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Same as mem_assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.
Same as remove_assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys. Not tail-recursive.
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. 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 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 sort or stable_sort, whichever is faster on typical input.
Merge two lists: Assuming that l1 and l2 are sorted according to the comparison function cmp, merge cmp l1 l2 will return a sorted list containing all the elements of l1 and l2. If several elements compare equal, the elements of l1 will be before the elements of l2. Not tail-recursive (sum of the lengths of the arguments).
val empty : 'a tempty is [].

scan_left f init l returns the list [init; f init x0; f (f init x0) x1; …] where x0, x1, etc. are the elements of l.
reduce f (hd::tl) returns Some (fold_left f hd tl). If l is empty, then None is returned.
reduce_exn is the unsafe version of reduce.
fold_map2 f init l1 l2 is to fold_map what List.map2 is to List.map.
fold_filter_map f init l is a fold_left-like function, but also generates a list of output in a way similar to filter_map.
val fold_filter_map_i :
('acc -> int -> 'a -> 'acc * 'b option) ->
'acc ->
'a list ->
'acc * 'b listfold_filter_map_i f init l is a foldi-like function, but also generates a list of output in a way similar to filter_map.
fold_flat_map f init l is a fold_left-like function, but it also maps the list to a list of lists that is then flatten'd.
fold_flat_map_i f init l is a fold_left-like function, but it also maps the list to a list of lists that is then flatten'd.
count p l counts how many elements of l satisfy predicate p.
count_true_false p l returns a pair (int1,int2) where int1 is the number of elements in l that satisfy the predicate p, and int2 the number of elements that do not satisfy p.
val init : int -> (int -> 'a) -> 'a tinit len f is f 0; f 1; …; f (len-1).

val combine_gen : 'a list -> 'b list -> ('a * 'b) gencombine_shortest [a1; …; am] [b1; …; bn] is [(a1,b1); …; (am,bm)] if m <= n. Like combine but stops at the shortest list rather than raising.
split [(a1,b1); …; (an,bn)] is ([a1; …; an], [b1; …; bn]). Transform a list of pairs into a pair of lists. A tail-recursive version of List.split.

compare_lengths l1 l2 compare the lengths of the two lists l1 and l2. Equivalent to compare (length l1) (length l2) but more efficient.
val compare_length_with : 'a t -> int -> intcompare_length_with l x compares the length of the list l to an integer x. Equivalent to compare (length l) x but more efficient.

fold_product f init l1 l2 applies the function f with the accumulator init on all the pair of elements of l1 and l2. Fold on the cartesian product.
cartesian_product [[l1]; [l2]; …; [ln]] produces the cartesian product of this list of lists, by returning all the ways of picking one element per sublist. NOTE the order of the returned list is unspecified. For example:
# cartesian_product [[1;2];[3];[4;5;6]] |> sort =
[[1;3;4];[1;3;5];[1;3;6];[2;3;4];[2;3;5];[2;3;6]];;
# cartesian_product [[1;2];[];[4;5;6]] = [];;
# cartesian_product [[1;2];[3];[4];[5];[6]] |> sort =
[[1;3;4;5;6];[2;3;4;5;6]];;invariant: cartesian_product l = map_product id l.
map_product_l f l maps each element of l to a list of objects of type 'b using f. We obtain [l1; l2; …; ln] where length l=n and li : 'b list. Then, it returns all the ways of picking exactly one element per li.
diagonal l returns all pairs of distinct positions of the list l, that is the list of List.nth i l, List.nth j l if i < j.

?last:('a list -> 'a list option) ->
?offset:int ->
int ->
'a list ->
'a list listsublists_of_len ?last ?offset n l returns sub-lists of l that have length n. By default, these sub-lists are non overlapping: sublists_of_len 2 [1;2;3;4;5;6] returns [1;2]; [3;4]; [5;6].
Examples:
sublists_of_len 2 [1;2;3;4;5;6] = [[1;2]; [3;4]; [5;6]].sublists_of_len 2 ~offset:3 [1;2;3;4;5;6] = [1;2];[4;5].sublists_of_len 3 ~last:CCOption.return [1;2;3;4] = [1;2;3];[4].sublists_of_len 2 [1;2;3;4;5] = [[1;2]; [3;4]].chunks n l returns consecutives chunks of size at most n from l. Each item of l will occur in exactly one chunk. Only the last chunk might be of length smaller than n. Invariant: (chunks n l |> List.flatten) = l.
intersperse x l inserts the element x between adjacent elements of the list l.
interleave [x1…xn] [y1…ym] is [x1;y1;x2;y2;…] and finishes with the suffix of the longest list.
val pure : 'a -> 'a tpure x is return x.
val mguard : bool -> unit tmguard c is pure () if c is true, [] otherwise. This is useful to define a list by comprehension, e.g.:

let* x = xs in
let* () = mguard (x mod 2 = 0) in
return @@ x * x;;
val square_even : int list -> int list = <fun>
# square_even [1;2;4;3;5;2];;

drop_while f l drops the longest prefix of l for which f is true.
take_drop_while p l = take_while p l, drop_while p l.

sorted_mem ~cmp x l and mem x l give the same result for any sorted list l, but potentially more efficiently.
sorted_merge ~cmp l1 l2 merges elements from both sorted list using the given comparison function cmp.
sorted_diff ~cmp l1 l2 returns the elements in l1 that are not in l2. Both lists are assumed to be sorted with respect to cmp and duplicate elements in the input lists are treated individually; for example, sorted_diff ~cmp [1;1;1;2;2;3] [1;2;2] would be [1;1;3]. It is the left inverse of sorted_merge; that is, sorted_diff ~cmp (sorted_merge ~cmp l1 l2) l2 is always equal to l1 for sorted lists l1 and l2.
sort_uniq ~cmp l sorts the list l using the given comparison function cmp and remove duplicate elements.
sorted_merge_uniq ~cmp l1 l2 merges the sorted lists l1 and l2 and removes duplicates.
sorted_diff_uniq ~cmp l1 l2 collects the elements in l1 that are not in l2 and then remove duplicates. Both lists are assumed to be sorted with respect to cmp and duplicate elements in the input lists are treated individually; for example, sorted_diff_uniq ~cmp [1;1;1;2;2] [1;2;2;2] would be [1]. sorted_diff_uniq ~cmp l1 l2 and uniq_succ ~eq (sorted_diff ~cmp l1 l2) always give the same result for sorted l1 and l2 and compatible cmp and eq.
is_sorted ~cmp l returns true iff l is sorted (according to given order).
sorted_insert ~cmp ?uniq x l inserts x into l such that, if l was sorted, then sorted_insert x l is sorted too.
sorted_remove ~cmp x l removes x from a sorted list l such that the return value is sorted too. By default, it is the left inverse of sorted_insert; that is, sorted_remove ~cmp x (sorted_insert ~cmp x l) is equal to l for any sorted list l.
uniq_succ ~eq l removes duplicate elements that occur one next to the other. Examples: uniq_succ ~eq:(=) [1;2;1] = [1;2;1]. uniq_succ ~eq:(=) [1;1;2] = [1;2].
group_succ ~eq l groups together consecutive elements that are equal according to eq.
mapi f l is like map, but the function f is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.
val iteri : (int -> 'a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unititeri f l is like iter, but the function f is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.
iteri2 f l1 l2 applies f to the two lists l1 and l2 simultaneously. The integer passed to f indicates the index of element.
val foldi : ('b -> int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a t -> 'bfoldi f init l is like fold but it also passes in the index of each element, from 0 to length l - 1 as additional argument to the folded function f. Tail-recursive.
foldi2 f init l1 l2 folds on the two lists l1 and l2, with index of each element passed to the function f. Computes f(… (f init i_0 l1_0 l2_0) …) i_n l1_n l2_n .
val get_at_idx : int -> 'a t -> 'a optionget_at_idx i l returns Some i-th element of the given list l or None if the list l is too short. If the index is negative, it will get element starting from the end of the list l.
val nth_opt : 'a t -> int -> 'a optionnth_opt l n returns Some n-th element of l. Safe version of nth.
val get_at_idx_exn : int -> 'a t -> 'aget_at_idx_exn i l gets the i-th element of l, or
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.
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.
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.
Those operations maintain the invariant that the list does not contain duplicates (if it already satisfies it).
add_nodup ~eq x set adds x to set if it was not already present. Linear time.
remove_one ~eq x set removes one occurrence of x from set. Linear time.
val mem : ?eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> 'a t -> boolmem ?eq x l is true iff x is equal to an element of l. A comparator function eq can be provided. Linear time.
subset ~eq l1 l2 tests if all elements of the list l1 are contained in the list l2 by applying eq.
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.
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.
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.
val range_by : step:int -> int -> int -> int trange_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.
val range : int -> int -> int trange i j iterates on integers from i to j included. It works both for decreasing and increasing ranges.
val range' : int -> int -> int trange' i j is like range but the second bound j is excluded. For instance range' 0 5 = [0;1;2;3;4].
val replicate : int -> 'a -> 'a treplicate n x replicates the given element x n times.

val assoc_opt : eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b optionassoc_opt ~eq k alist returns Some v if the given key k is present into alist, or None if not present. Like Assoc.get.
val assq_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) t -> 'b optionassq_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.
val mem_assoc : ?eq:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a -> ('a * _) t -> boolmem_assoc ?eq k alist returns true iff k is a key in alist. Like Assoc.mem.
