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].

(* [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. *)
val init: int -> (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]. *)

(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)]. *)

val sub: 'a array -> int -> 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]. *)

(* [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]. *)
