Functional queues

type 'a sequence = ('a -> unit) -> unit
type 'a klist = unit -> [ `Nil | `Cons of 'a * 'a klist ]
type 'a equal = 'a -> 'a -> bool

Basics

type +'a t

Queue containing elements of type 'a

val empty : 'a t
val is_empty : 'a t -> bool
val singleton : 'a -> 'a t
val doubleton : 'a -> 'a -> 'a t
exception Empty
val cons : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t

Push element at the front of the queue

val snoc : 'a t -> 'a -> 'a t

Push element at the end of the queue

val take_front : 'a t -> ('a * 'a t) option

Get and remove the first element

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

Same as take_front, but fails on empty queues.

  • raises Empty

    if the queue is empty

val take_front_l : int -> 'a t -> 'a list * 'a t

take_front_l n q takes at most n elements from the front of q, and returns them wrapped in a list

val take_front_while : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a list * 'a t
val take_back : 'a t -> ('a t * 'a) option

Take last element

val take_back_exn : 'a t -> 'a t * 'a
val take_back_l : int -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a list

take_back_l n q removes and returns the last n elements of q. The elements are in the order of the queue, that is, the head of the returned list is the first element to appear via take_front. take_back_l 2 (of_list [1;2;3;4]) = of_list [1;2], [3;4]

val take_back_while : ('a -> bool) -> 'a t -> 'a t * 'a list

Individual extraction

val first : 'a t -> 'a option

First element of the queue

val last : 'a t -> 'a option

Last element of the queue

val first_exn : 'a t -> 'a

Same as peek but

  • raises Empty

    if the queue is empty

val last_exn : 'a t -> 'a
val nth : int -> 'a t -> 'a option

Return the i-th element of the queue in logarithmic time

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

Unsafe version of nth

  • raises Not_found

    if the index is wrong

val tail : 'a t -> 'a t

Queue deprived of its first element. Does nothing on empty queues

val init : 'a t -> 'a t

Queue deprived of its last element. Does nothing on empty queues

Global Operations

val append : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

Append two queues. Elements from the second one come after elements of the first one. Linear in the size of the second queue.

val map : ('a -> 'b) -> 'a t -> 'b t

Map values

val (>|=) : 'a t -> ('a -> 'b) -> 'b t
val size : 'a t -> int

Number of elements in the queue (constant time)

val fold : ('b -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'b -> 'a t -> 'b
val iter : ('a -> unit) -> 'a t -> unit
val equal : 'a equal -> 'a t equal

Conversions

val to_seq : 'a t -> 'a sequence
val of_seq : 'a sequence -> 'a t
val to_klist : 'a t -> 'a klist
val of_klist : 'a klist -> 'a t
