Polymorphic sets

The definitions below describe the polymorphic set interface.

They are similar in functionality to the functorized BatSet.Make module, but the compiler cannot ensure that sets using different element ordering have different types: the responsibility of not mixing non-sensical comparison functions together is to the programmer. If you ever need a custom comparison function, it is recommended to use the BatSet.Make functor for additional safety.

type 'a t

The type of sets.

include BatEnum.Enumerable with type 'a enumerable = 'a t
type 'a enumerable = 'a t

The data structure, e.g. 'a List.t

include BatInterfaces.Mappable with type 'a mappable = 'a t
type 'a mappable = 'a t

The data structure, e.g. 'a List.t

val empty : 'a t

The empty set, using compare as comparison function

val create : ('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a t

Creates a new empty set, using the provided function for key comparison.

val is_empty : 'a t -> bool

Test whether a set is empty or not.

val is_singleton : 'a t -> bool

Test if the set is a singleton.

val singleton : ?cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a -> 'a t

Creates a new set with the single given element in it.

val mem : 'a -> 'a t -> bool

mem x s tests whether x belongs to the set s.

val find : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a

find x s returns the element in s that tests equal to x under its comparison function.

val find_opt : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a option

find_opt x s returns Some k for the element k in s that tests equal to x under its comparison function. If no element is equal, return None

  • since 3.3.0
val find_first : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a

find_first f m returns the first element e for which f e is true or raises Not_found if there is no such element. f must be monotonically increasing, i.e. if k1 < k2 && f k1 is true then f k2 must also be true.

  • since 3.3.0
val find_first_opt : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a option

find_first_opt f m returns Some e for the first element e for which f e is true or returns None if there is no such element. f must be monotonically increasing, i.e. if k1 < k2 && f k1 is true then f k2 must also be true.

  • since 3.3.0
val find_last : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a

find_last f m returns the last element e for which f e is true or raises Not_found if there is no such element. f must be monotonically decreasing, i.e. if k1 < k2 && f k2 is true then f k1 must also be true.

  • since 3.3.0
val find_last_opt : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a option

find_last_opt f m returns Some e for the last element e for which f e is true or returns None if there is no such element. f must be monotonically decreasing, i.e. if k1 < k2 && f k2 is true then f k1 must also be true.

  • since 3.3.0
val add : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

add x s returns a set containing all elements of s, plus x. If x was already in s, s is returned unchanged.

  • before 3.3.0

    or OCaml 4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.

val remove : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

remove x s returns a set containing all elements of s, except x. If x was not in s, s is returned unchanged.

  • before 3.3.0

    or OCaml 4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.

val remove_exn : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

remove_exn x s behaves like remove x s except that it raises an exception if x is not in s.

  • since 3.2.0
val update : 'a -> 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

update x y s replace x by y in s. update is faster when x compares equal to y according to the comparison function used by your set. When x and y are physically equal, m is returned unchanged.

  • before 3.3.0

    Physical equality was not ensured.

  • since 2.4
val union : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

union s t returns the union of s and t - the set containing all elements in either s and t. The returned set uses t's comparison function. The current implementation works better for small s.

val intersect : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

intersect s t returns a new set of those elements that are in both s and t. The returned set uses s's comparison function.

val diff : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

diff s t returns the set of all elements in s but not in t. The returned set uses s's comparison function.

val sym_diff : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

sym_diff s t returns the set of all elements in s or t but not both. This is the same as diff (union s t) (inter s t). The returned set uses s's comparison function.

val compare : 'a t -> 'a t -> int

Total ordering between sets. Can be used as the ordering function for doing sets of sets.

val equal : 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

equal s1 s2 tests whether the sets s1 and s2 are equal, that is, contain equal elements.

val subset : 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

subset a b returns true if a is a subset of b. O(|a|).

val disjoint : 'a t -> 'a t -> bool

disjoint s1 s2 tests whether the sets s1 and s2 contain no shared elements. (i.e. inter s1 s2 is empty.)

val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit

iter f s applies f in turn to all elements of s. The elements of s are presented to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the elements.

val at_rank_exn : int -> 'a t -> 'a

at_rank_exn i s returns element at rank i in s, that is the i-th element in increasing order (the 0-th element being the smallest element of s).

  • since 2.4
val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

map f x creates a new set with elements f a0, f a1... f aN, where a0, a1, ..., aN are the values contained in x

The resulting map uses the polymorphic compare function to order elements.

val map_endo : ('a -> 'a) -> 'a t -> 'a t

map f x creates a new set with elements f a0, f a1... f aN, where a0, a1, ..., aN are the values contained in x

The resulting map uses the same compare function to order elements as m does.

If f returns physically equal values for all elements in m then the resulting map will be physically equal to m.

  • since 3.3.0
val filter : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t

filter p s returns the set of all elements in s that satisfy predicate p.

if p returns true for all elements then s is returned unmodified.

  • before 3.3.0

    or OCaml 4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.

val filter_map : ('a -> 'b option) -> 'a t -> 'b t

filter_map f m combines the features of filter and map. It calls calls f a0, f a1, f aN where a0,a1..an are the elements of m and returns the set of pairs bi such as f ai = Some bi (when f returns None, the corresponding element of m is discarded).

The resulting map uses the polymorphic compare function to order elements.

val filter_map_endo : ('a -> 'a option) -> 'a t -> 'a t

filter_map_endo f m combines the features of filter and map. It calls calls f a0, f a1, f aN where a0,a1..an are the elements of m and returns the set of pairs bi such as f ai = Some bi (when f returns None, the corresponding element of m is discarded).

The resulting map uses the same compare function to order elements as used for m.

if the filter function f returns true for all elements in m, the resulting map is physically equal to m.

  • since 3.3.0
val fold : ('a -> 'b -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b -> 'b

fold f s a computes (f xN ... (f x1 (f x0 a))...), where x0,x1..xN are the elements of s, in increasing order.

val partition : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a t

returns two disjoint subsets, those that satisfy the given predicate and those that don't

val split : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t * bool * 'a t

split x s returns a triple (l, present, r), where l is the set of elements of s that are strictly less than x; r is the set of elements of s that are strictly greater than x; present is false if s contains no element equal to x, or true if s contains an element equal to x.

val split_opt : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a option * 'a t

split_opt x s returns a triple (l, maybe_v, r), where l is the set of elements of s that are strictly less than x; r is the set of elements of s that are strictly greater than x; maybe_v is None if s contains no element equal to x, or Some v if s contains an element v that compares equal to x.

val split_lt : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a t

split_lt x s returns a pair of sets (l, r), such that l is the subset of s with elements < x; r is the subset of s with elements >= x.

val split_le : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a t

split_le x s returns a pair of sets (l, r), such that l is the subset of s with elements <= x; r is the subset of s with elements > x.

returns the largest element of the set.

val max_elt_opt : 'a t -> 'a option

Same as Set.S.min_elt_opt, but for the largest element of the given set.

  • since 3.3.0
val choose : 'a t -> 'a

returns an arbitrary (but deterministic) element of the given set.

val choose_opt : 'a t -> 'a option

Return Some e for one element e of the given set. Which element is chosen is unspecified, but equal elements will be chosen for equal sets. Return None if the set is empty.

  • since 3.3.0
val any : 'a t -> 'a

Return one element of the given set. The difference with choose is that there is no guarantee that equals elements will be picked for equal sets. This merely returns the quickest element to get (O(1)).

returns one element of the set and the set without that element.

val enum : 'a t -> 'a BatEnum.t
