(** Array operations. *)
external length : 'a array -> int = "%array_length"
(** Return the length (number of elements) of the given array. *)
external get : 'a array -> int -> 'a = "%array_safe_get"
(** [Array.get a n] returns the element number [n] of array [a].
The first element has number 0.
The last element has number [Array.length a - 1].
Raise [Invalid_argument "Array.get"] if [n] is outside the range
0 to [(Array.length a - 1)].
You can also write [a.(n)] instead of [Array.get a n]. *)
external set : 'a array -> int -> 'a -> unit = "%array_safe_set"
(** [Array.set a n x] modifies array [a] in place, replacing
element number [n] with [x].
Raise [Invalid_argument "Array.set"] if [n] is outside the range
0 to [Array.length a - 1].
You can also write [a.(n) <- x] instead of [Array.set a n x]. *)
external make : int -> 'a -> 'a array = "make_vect"
(** [Array.make n x] returns a fresh array of length [n],
initialized with [x].
All the elements of this new array are initially
physically equal to [x] (in the sense of the [==] predicate).
Consequently, if [x] is mutable, it is shared among all elements
of the array, and modifying [x] through one of the array entries
will modify all other entries at the same time.
Raise [Invalid_argument] if [n < 0] or [n > Sys.max_array_length].
If the value of [x] is a floating-point number, then the maximum
size is only [Sys.max_array_length / 2].*)
external create : int -> 'a -> 'a array = "make_vect"
(** @deprecated [Array.create] is an alias for {!ArrayLabels.make}. *)
val init : int -> f:(int -> 'a) -> 'a array
(** [Array.init n f] returns a fresh array of length [n],
with element number [i] initialized to the result of [f i].
In other terms, [Array.init n f] tabulates the results of [f]
applied to the integers [0] to [n-1]. *)
val make_matrix : dimx:int -> dimy:int -> 'a -> 'a array array
(** [Array.make_matrix dimx dimy e] returns a two-dimensional array
(an array of arrays) with first dimension [dimx] and
second dimension [dimy]. All the elements of this new matrix
are initially physically equal to [e].
The element ([x,y]) of a matrix [m] is accessed
with the notation [m.(x).(y)].
Raise [Invalid_argument] if [dimx] or [dimy] is less than 1 or
greater than [Sys.max_array_length].
If the value of [e] is a floating-point number, then the maximum
size is only [Sys.max_array_length / 2]. *)
val create_matrix : dimx:int -> dimy:int -> 'a -> 'a array array
(** @deprecated [Array.create_matrix] is an alias for {!ArrayLabels.make_matrix}. *)
val append : 'a array -> 'a array -> 'a array
(** [Array.append v1 v2] returns a fresh array containing the
concatenation of the arrays [v1] and [v2]. *)
val concat : 'a array list -> 'a array
(** Same as [Array.append], but concatenates a list of arrays. *)
val sub : 'a array -> pos:int -> len:int -> 'a array
(** [Array.sub a start len] returns a fresh array of length [len],
containing the elements number [start] to [start + len - 1]
of array [a].
Raise [Invalid_argument "Array.sub"] if [start] and [len] do not
designate a valid subarray of [a]; that is, if
[start < 0], or [len < 0], or [start + len > Array.length a]. *)
val copy : 'a array -> 'a array
(** [Array.copy a] returns a copy of [a], that is, a fresh array
containing the same elements as [a]. *)
val fill : 'a array -> pos:int -> len:int -> 'a -> unit
(** [Array.fill a ofs len x] modifies the array [a] in place,
storing [x] in elements number [ofs] to [ofs + len - 1].
Raise [Invalid_argument "Array.fill"] if [ofs] and [len] do not
designate a valid subarray of [a]. *)
val blit :
src:'a array -> src_pos:int -> dst:'a array -> dst_pos:int -> len:int ->
unit
(** [Array.blit v1 o1 v2 o2 len] copies [len] elements
from array [v1], starting at element number [o1], to array [v2],
starting at element number [o2]. It works correctly even if
[v1] and [v2] are the same array, and the source and
destination chunks overlap.
Raise [Invalid_argument "Array.blit"] if [o1] and [len] do not
designate a valid subarray of [v1], or if [o2] and [len] do not
designate a valid subarray of [v2]. *)
val to_list : 'a array -> 'a list
(** [Array.to_list a] returns the list of all the elements of [a]. *)
val of_list : 'a list -> 'a array
(** [Array.of_list l] returns a fresh array containing the elements
of [l]. *)
val iter : f:('a -> unit) -> 'a array -> unit
(** [Array.iter f a] applies function [f] in turn to all
the elements of [a]. It is equivalent to
[f a.(0); f a.(1); ...; f a.(Array.length a - 1); ()]. *)
val map : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a array -> 'b array
(** [Array.map f a] applies function [f] to all the elements of [a],
and builds an array with the results returned by [f]:
[[| f a.(0); f a.(1); ...; f a.(Array.length a - 1) |]]. *)
val iteri : f:(int -> 'a -> unit) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Same as {!ArrayLabels.iter}, but the
function is applied to the index of the element as first argument,
and the element itself as second argument. *)
val mapi : f:(int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'a array -> 'b array
(** Same as {!ArrayLabels.map}, but the
function is applied to the index of the element as first argument,
and the element itself as second argument. *)
val fold_left : f:('a -> 'b -> 'a) -> init:'a -> 'b array -> 'a
(** [Array.fold_left f x a] computes
[f (... (f (f x a.(0)) a.(1)) ...) a.(n-1)],
where [n] is the length of the array [a]. *)
val fold_right : f:('b -> 'a -> 'a) -> 'b array -> init:'a -> 'a
(** [Array.fold_right f a x] computes
[f a.(0) (f a.(1) ( ... (f a.(n-1) x) ...))],
where [n] is the length of the array [a]. *)
(** {6 Sorting} *)
val sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Sort an array 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. For example,
the {!Pervasives.compare} function is a suitable comparison function.
After calling [Array.sort], the array is sorted in place in
increasing order.
[Array.sort] is guaranteed to run in constant heap space
and logarithmic stack space.
The current implementation uses Heap Sort. It runs in constant
stack space.
*)
val stable_sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a array -> unit
(** Same as {!ArrayLabels.sort}, but the sorting algorithm is stable and
not guaranteed to use a fixed amount of heap memory.
The current implementation is Merge Sort. It uses [n/2]
words of heap space, where [n] is the length of the array.
It is faster than the current implementation of {!ArrayLabels.sort}.
