The DynamicArray structure

The DynamicArray structure provides dynamically sized polymorphic arrays. Each array has an associated default value, which is covers those elements that have not been explicitly initialized (conceptually, one can view an array as having an infinite size). Thus, reads from indices above the bound will return the default value. The bound of an array is the highest index of an initialized element (or ~1 if there are no initialized elements). The defined range of the array are the elements in the positions indexed from zero to the bound.

Description

type 'a array

The polymorphic type of dynamic arrays. Each array has a default value and a bound, where the bound is the largest index for which an explicit value has been set. Reads from indices above the bound will return the default value.

val array : (int * 'a) -> 'a array

array (sz, dflt) returns a new array with bound ~1 and default value dflt. The sz argument, which must be non-negative, is used as a hint of the potential range of indices. This function raises the Size exception if sz < 0.

val subArray : ('a array * int * int) -> 'a array

subArray (arr, lo, hi) returns a new array with the same default as arr, and whose values in the range [0, hi-lo] are equal to the values in arr in the range [lo, hi]. This function raises the Size exception if lo < 0 or hi < lo-1.

val fromList : 'a list * 'a -> 'a array

fromList (lst, dflt) returns a new array created from the elements of lst and with default value dflt. The bound of the array will be length lst - 1.

val fromVector : 'a Vector.vector * 'a -> 'a array

fromVector (vec, dflt) returns a new array created from the elements of vec and with default value dflt. The bound of the array will be length vec - 1.

val toList : 'a array -> 'a list

toList arr returns a list of the array’s contents. The resulting list will have the array’s bound plus one elements.

val toVector : 'a array -> 'a vector

toVector arr returns a list of the array’s contents. The resulting vector will have the array’s bound plus one elements.

val tabulate: (int * (int -> 'a) * 'a) -> 'a array

tabulate (sz, init, dflt) returns a new array with the first sz elements initialized using the function init and the default value dflt. This function raises the Size exception if sz < 0.

val default : 'a array -> 'a

default arr returns the default value for the array.

val sub : ('a array * int) -> 'a

sub (arr, ix) returns the value of the array at index ix. If that value has not been explicitly set, then it returns the array’s default value. This function raises the Subscript exception if ix < 0.

val update : ('a array * int * 'a) -> unit

update (arr, ix, v) sets the value at index ix of the array to v. If ix is greater than the current bound of the array, then the bound is set to ix. This function raises the Subscript exception if ix < 0.

val bound : 'a array -> int

bound arr returns the current bound of the array, which is the highest index that has been explicitly set (e.g., by update).

val truncate : ('a array * int) -> unit

truncate (arr, sz) sets every entry with index greater or equal to sz to the array’s default value.

val appi : (int * 'a -> unit) -> 'a array -> unit

appi f arr behaves like the Array.appi function on the defined range of arr.

val app : ('a -> unit) -> 'a array -> unit

app f arr behaves like the Array.app function on the defined range of arr.

val modifyi : (int * 'a -> 'a) -> 'a array -> unit

modifyi f arr behaves like the Array.modifyi function on the defined range of arr.

val modify : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a array -> unit

modify f arr behaves like the Array.modify function on the defined range of arr.

val foldli : (int * 'a * 'b -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a array -> 'b

foldli f init arr behaves like the Array.foldli function on the defined range of arr.

val foldri : (int * 'a * 'b -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a array -> 'b

foldri f init arr behaves like the Array.foldri function on the defined range of arr.

val foldl : ('a * 'b -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a array -> 'b

foldl f init arr behaves like the Array.foldl function on the defined range of arr.

val foldr : ('a * 'b -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a array -> 'b

foldr f init arr behaves like the Array.foldr function on the defined range of arr.

val findi : (int * 'a -> bool) -> 'a array -> (int * 'a) option

findi f arr behaves like the Array.findi function on the defined range of arr.

val find : ('a -> bool) -> 'a array -> 'a option

find f arr behaves like the Array.find function on the defined range of arr.

val exists : ('a -> bool) -> 'a array -> bool

exists f arr behaves like the Array.exists function on the defined range of arr.

val all : ('a -> bool) -> 'a array -> bool

all f arr behaves like the Array.all function on the defined range of arr.

val collate : ('a * 'a -> order) -> 'a array * 'a array -> order

collate cmp (arr1, arr2) return the lexicographic order of the defined ranges of the two arrays using the given comparison cmp on elements.

Deprecated functions

val vector : 'a array -> 'a vector

Use toVector instead.
