Module Belt_Array

Belt.Array Utililites for Array functions

type t('a) = array('a);
let length: t('a) => int;

length xs return the size of the array

let size: t('a) => int;

See length

let get: t('a) => int => option('a);

get arr i

If i <= 0 <= length arr;returns Some value where value is the item at index i If i is out of range;returns None

Belt.Array.get [|"a";"b";"c"|] 0 = Some "a";;
Belt.Array.get [|"a";"b";"c"|] 3 = None;;
Belt.Array.get [|"a";"b";"c"|] (-1) = None;;
let getExn: t('a) => int => 'a;

getExn arr i

raise an exception if i is out of range;otherwise return the value at index i in arr

let getUnsafe: t('a) => int => 'a;

getUnsafe arr i

Unsafe

no bounds checking;this would cause type error if i does not stay within range

let getUndefined: t('a) => int => Js.undefined('a);

getUndefined arr i

It does the samething in the runtime as getUnsafe; it is type safe since the return type still track whether it is in range or not

let set: t('a) => int => 'a => bool;

set arr n x modifies arr in place; it replaces the nth element of arr with x

  • returns

    false means not updated due to out of range

let setExn: t('a) => int => 'a => unit;

setExn arr i x raise an exception if i is out of range

    reverse [|10;11;12;13;14|] = [|14;13;12;11;10|];;
let makeUninitialized: int => array(Js.undefined('a));

makeUninitialized n creates an array of length n filled with the undefined value. You must specify the type of data that will eventually fill the array.

let arr: string Js.undefined array = makeUninitialized 5;;
getExn arr 0 = Js.undefined;;
let makeUninitializedUnsafe: int => t('a);

`makeUninitializedUnsafe n`

Unsafe

let arr = Belt.Array.makeUninitializedUnsafe 5;;
let () = Js.log(Belt.Array.getExn arr 0);; (* undefined *)
Belt.Array.setExn arr 0 "example";;
let () = Js.log(Belt.Array.getExn arr 0 = "example");;
let make: int => 'a => t('a);

let unzip: array(('a, 'b)) => (t('a), array('b));

unzip a takes an array of pairs and creates a pair of arrays. The first array contains all the first items of the pairs; the second array contains all the second items.

unzip [|(1,2) ; (3,4)|] = ([|1;3|], [|2;4|]);;
unzip [|(1,2) ; (3,4) ; (5,6) ; (7,8)|] = ([|1;3;5;7|], [|2;4;6;8|]);;
let concat: t('a) => t('a) => t('a);

concat xs ys

  • returns

    a fresh array containing the concatenation of the arrays v1 and v2;so even if v1 or v2 is empty;it can not be shared

    concat [|1;2;3|] [|4;5|] = [|1;2;3;4;5|];;

let slice: t('a) => offset:int => len:int => t('a);

slice xs offset len creates a new array with the len elements of xs starting at offset for

offset can be negative;and is evaluated as length xs - offset slice xs -1 1 means get the last element as a singleton array

slice xs (-len) len will return a copy of the array

if the array does not have enough data;slice extracts through the end of sequence.

if len is negative;returns the empty array.

slice [|10;11;12;13;14;15;16|] ~offset: 2 ~len: 3 = [|12;13;14|];;
slice [|10;11;12;13;14;15;16|] ~offset: (-4) ~len: 3 = [|13;14;15|];;
slice [|10;11;12;13;14;15;16|] ~offset:4  ~len:9 = [|14;15;16|];;
let sliceToEnd: t('a) => int => t('a);

sliceToEnd xs offset creates a new array with the elements of xs starting at offset

offset can be negative;and is evaluated as length xs - offset sliceToEnd xs -1 means get the last element as a singleton array

sliceToEnd xs 0 will return a copy of the array

sliceToEnd [|10;11;12;13;14;15;16|] 2 = [|12;13;14;15;16|];;

let fill: t('a) => offset:int => len:int => 'a => unit;

fill arr ~offset ~len x

Modifies arr in place, storing x in elements number offset to offset + len - 1.

offset can be negative;and is evaluated as length arr - offset

fill arr ~offset:(-1) ~len:1 means fill the last element, if the array does not have enough data;fill will ignore it

let arr = makeBy 5 (fun i -> i) ;;
fill arr ~offset:2 ~len:2 9 ;;
arr = [|0;1;9;9;4|];;
fill arr ~offset:7 ~len:2 8;;
arr = [|0;1;9;9;4|];;
let blit: src:t('a) => srcOffset:int => dst:t('a) => dstOffset:int => len:int => unit;

blit ~src:v1 ~srcOffset:o1 ~dst:v2 ~dstOffset: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.

offset can be negative;-1 means len - 1;if len + offset is still negative;it will be set as 0

For each of the examples;presume that v1 = [|10;11;12;13;14;15;16;17|] and v2 = [|20;21;22;23;24;25;26;27|]. The result shown is the content of the destination array.

Belt.Array.blit ~src: v1 ~srcOffset: 4 ~dst: v2 ~dstOffset: 2 ~len: 3 |.
  [|20;21;14;15;16;25;26;27|]

let forEach: t('a) => ('a => unit) => unit;

forEach xs f

Call f on each element of xs from the beginning to end. f returns unit;so no new array is created. Use forEach when you are primarily concerned with repetitively creating side effects.

forEach [|"a";"b";"c"|] (fun x -> Js.log("Item: " ^ x));;
(*  prints:
  Item: a
  Item: b
  Item: c
*)

keepWithIndex xs p

  • returns

    a new array that keeps all elements satisfying p. The predicate p takes two arguments: the element from xs and the index starting from 0.

    keepWithIndex [|1;2;3|] (fun _x i -> i = 1) = [|2|]
let keepMapU: t('a) => Js.Fn.arity1(('a => option('b))) => array('b);
let keepMap: t('a) => ('a => option('b)) => array('b);

let reduce: array('b) => 'a => ('a => 'b => 'a) => 'a;

reduce xs init f

reduce [|2;3;4|] 1 (+) = 10;;
reduce [|"a";"b";"c";"d"|] "" (^) = "abcd";;
let reduceReverseU: array('b) => 'a => Js.Fn.arity2(('a => 'b => 'a)) => 'a;
let reduceReverse: array('b) => 'a => ('a => 'b => 'a) => 'a;

reduceReverse xs init f

reduceWithIndex xs f

Applies f to each element of xs from beginning to end. Function f has three parameters: the item from the array and an “accumulator”, which starts with a value of init and the index of each element. reduceWithIndex returns the final value of the accumulator.

joinWith xs sep toString

Concatenates all the elements of xs converted to string with toString, each separated by sep, the string given as the second argument, into a single string. If the array has only one element, then that element will be returned without using the separator. If the array is empty, the empty string will be returned.
