OCaml's native integer type.

The number of bits in an integer is platform dependent, being 31-bits on a 32-bit platform, and 63-bits on a 64-bit platform. int is a signed integer type. ints are also subject to overflow, meaning that Int.max_value + 1 = Int.min_value.

ints always fit in a machine word.

val (=) : t -> t -> bool
val (>) : t -> t -> bool
val (<) : t -> t -> bool
val (<>) : t -> t -> bool
val equal : t -> t -> bool
val compare : t -> t -> int

-1 means "less than", 0 means "equal", 1 means "greater than", and other values should not be returned

val min : t -> t -> t
val max : t -> t -> t
val ascending : t -> t -> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~cmp:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t -> t -> int
val between : t -> low:t -> high:t -> bool
val clamp_exn : t -> min:t -> max:t -> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

Returns Neg, Zero, or Pos in a way consistent with the above functions.

module Hex : sig ... end
val to_string_hum : ?delimiter:char -> t -> string

delimiter is underscore by default

Negation

val (~-) : t -> t
val (/%) : t -> t -> t

There are two pairs of integer division and remainder functions, /% and %, and / and rem. They both satisfy the same equation relating the quotient and the remainder:

x = (x /% y) * y + (x % y);
x = (x /  y) * y + (rem x y);

The functions return the same values if x and y are positive. They all raise if y = 0.

The functions differ if x < 0 or y < 0.

If y < 0, then % and /% raise, whereas / and rem do not.

x % y always returns a value between 0 and y - 1, even when x < 0. On the other hand, rem x y returns a negative value if and only if x < 0; that value satisfies abs (rem x y) <= abs y - 1.

val (%) : t -> t -> t
val (/) : t -> t -> t
val rem : t -> t -> t
val (//) : t -> t -> float

float division of integers

val (land) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_and

val (lor) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_or

val (lxor) : t -> t -> t

Same as bit_xor

val lnot : t -> t

Same as bit_not

val (lsl) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_left

val (asr) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_right

Successor and predecessor functions
val succ : t -> t
val pred : t -> t
val abs : t -> t

Returns the absolute value of the argument. May be negative if the input is min_value

include Int_intf.Round with type t := t

round rounds an int to a multiple of a given to_multiple_of argument, according to a direction dir, with default dir being `Nearest. round will raise if to_multiple_of <= 0.

       | `Down    | rounds toward Int.neg_infinity                          |
       | `Up      | rounds toward Int.infinity                              |
       | `Nearest | rounds to the nearest multiple, or `Up in case of a tie |
       | `Zero    | rounds toward zero                                      |

Here are some examples for round ~to_multiple_of:10 for each direction:

       | `Down    | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | { 0 ... 9} --> 0 | {-10 ... -1} --> -10 |
       | `Up      | { 1 .. 10} --> 10 | {-9 ... 0} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
       | `Zero    | {10 .. 19} --> 10 | {-9 ... 9} --> 0 | {-19 .. -10} --> -10 |
       | `Nearest | { 5 .. 14} --> 10 | {-5 ... 4} --> 0 | {-15 ... -6} --> -10 |

For convenience and performance, there are variants of round with dir hard-coded. If you are writing performance-critical code you should use these.

val round : ?dir:[ `Zero | `Nearest | `Up | `Down ] -> t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_towards_zero : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_down : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_up : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val round_nearest : t -> to_multiple_of:t -> t
val pow : t -> t -> t

pow base exponent returns base raised to the power of exponent. It is OK if base <= 0. pow raises if exponent < 0, or an integer overflow would occur.

Bit-wise logical operations
val bit_and : t -> t -> t
val bit_or : t -> t -> t
val bit_xor : t -> t -> t
val bit_not : t -> t
Bit-shifting operations

The results are unspecified for negative shifts and shifts >= num_bits

val shift_left : t -> int -> t

shifts left, filling in with zeroes

val shift_right : t -> int -> t

shifts right, preserving the sign of the input.

Increment and decrement functions for integer references
val decr : t Caml.ref -> unit
val incr : t Caml.ref -> unit
Population count
val popcount : t -> int

returns the number of 1 bits in the binary representation of the input

val of_int32_exn : int32 -> t
val to_int32_exn : t -> int32
val of_int64_exn : int64 -> t
val to_int64 : t -> int64
val of_nativeint_exn : nativeint -> t
val to_nativeint_exn : t -> nativeint
val of_float_unchecked : float -> t

of_float_unchecked truncates the given floating point number to an integer, rounding towards zero. The result is unspecified if the argument is nan or falls outside the range of representable integers.

val num_bits : int

The number of bits available in this integer type. Note that the integer representations are signed

val max_value : t

The largest representable integer

val min_value : t

The smallest representable integer

val (lsr) : t -> int -> t

Same as shift_right_logical

val shift_right_logical : t -> int -> t

shifts right, filling in with zeroes, which will not preserve the sign of the input

module O : Int_intf.Operators with type t := t

A sub-module designed to be opened to make working with ints more convenient.

val ceil_pow2 : int -> int

ceil_pow2 x returns the smallest power of 2 that is greater than or equal to x. The implementation may only be called for x > 0. Example: ceil_pow2 17 = 32

val floor_pow2 : int -> int

floor_pow2 x returns the largest power of 2 that is less than or equal to x. The implementation may only be called for x > 0. Example: floor_pow2 17 = 16

val ceil_log2 : int -> int

ceil_log2 x returns the ceiling of log-base-2 of x, and raises if x <= 0.

val floor_log2 : int -> int

floor_log2 x returns the floor of log-base-2 of x, and raises if x <= 0.

val is_pow2 : int -> bool

is_pow2 x returns true iff x is a power of 2. is_pow2 raises if x <= 0.
