Sets
type elt
The type of the set elements.
type t
The type of sets.
val empty : t
The empty set.
val add : elt -> t -> t
add x s returns a set containing all elements of s , plus x . If x was already in s , s is returned
unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to s ).
Before4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.
val singleton : elt -> t
singleton x returns the one-element set containing only x .
val remove : elt -> t -> t
remove x s returns a set containing all elements of s , except x . If x was not in s , s is returned
unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to s ).
Before4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.
val union : t -> t -> t
Set union.
val inter : t -> t -> t
Set intersection.
val disjoint : t -> t -> bool
Test if two sets are disjoint.
Since 4.08
val diff : t -> t -> t
Set difference: diff s1 s2 contains the elements of s1 that are not in s2 .
val cardinal : t -> int
Return the number of elements of a set.
Elements
val elements : t -> elt list
Return the list of all elements of the given set. The returned list is sorted in increasing order with
respect to the ordering Ord.compare , where Ord is the argument given to Set.Make .
val min_elt : t -> elt
Return the smallest element of the given set (with respect to the Ord.compare ordering), or raise
Not_found if the set is empty.
val min_elt_opt : t -> elt option
Return the smallest element of the given set (with respect to the Ord.compare ordering), or None if the
set is empty.
Since 4.05
val max_elt : t -> elt
Same as Set.S.min_elt , but returns the largest element of the given set.
val max_elt_opt : t -> elt option
Same as Set.S.min_elt_opt , but returns the largest element of the given set.
Since 4.05
val choose : t -> elt
Return one element of the given set, or raise Not_found if the set is empty. Which element is chosen is
unspecified, but equal elements will be chosen for equal sets.
val choose_opt : t -> elt option
Return one element of the given set, or None if the set is empty. Which element is chosen is unspecified,
but equal elements will be chosen for equal sets.
Since 4.05
Searching
val find : elt -> t -> elt
find x s returns the element of s equal to x (according to Ord.compare ), or raise Not_found if no such
element exists.
Since 4.01
val find_opt : elt -> t -> elt option
find_opt x s returns the element of s equal to x (according to Ord.compare ), or None if no such element
exists.
Since 4.05
val find_first : (elt -> bool) -> t -> elt
find_first f s , where f is a monotonically increasing function, returns the lowest element e of s such
that f e , or raises Not_found if no such element exists.
For example, find_first (fun e -> Ord.compare e x >= 0) s will return the first element e of s where
Ord.compare e x >= 0 (intuitively: e >= x ), or raise Not_found if x is greater than any element of s .
Since 4.05
val find_first_opt : (elt -> bool) -> t -> elt option
find_first_opt f s , where f is a monotonically increasing function, returns an option containing the
lowest element e of s such that f e , or None if no such element exists.
Since 4.05
val find_last : (elt -> bool) -> t -> elt
find_last f s , where f is a monotonically decreasing function, returns the highest element e of s such
that f e , or raises Not_found if no such element exists.
Since 4.05
val find_last_opt : (elt -> bool) -> t -> elt option
find_last_opt f s , where f is a monotonically decreasing function, returns an option containing the
highest element e of s such that f e , or None if no such element exists.
Since 4.05
Traversing
val iter : (elt -> unit) -> 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 fold : (elt -> 'acc -> 'acc) -> t -> 'acc -> 'acc
fold f s init computes (f xN ... (f x2 (f x1 init))...) , where x1 ... xN are the elements of s , in
increasing order.
Transforming
val map : (elt -> elt) -> t -> t
map f s is the set whose elements are f a0 , f a1 ... f
aN , where a0 , a1 ... aN are the elements of s .
The elements are passed to f in increasing order with respect to the ordering over the type of the
elements.
If no element of s is changed by f , s is returned unchanged. (If each output of f is physically equal to
its input, the returned set is physically equal to s .)
Since 4.04
val filter : (elt -> bool) -> t -> t
filter f s returns the set of all elements in s that satisfy predicate f . If f satisfies every element
in s , s is returned unchanged (the result of the function is then physically equal to s ).
Before4.03 Physical equality was not ensured.
val filter_map : (elt -> elt option) -> t -> t
filter_map f s returns the set of all v such that f x = Some v for some element x of s .
For example,
filter_map (fun n -> if n mod 2 = 0 then Some (n / 2) else None) s
is the set of halves of the even elements of s .
If no element of s is changed or dropped by f (if f x = Some x for each element x ), then s is returned
unchanged: the result of the function is then physically equal to s .
Since 4.11
val partition : (elt -> bool) -> t -> t * t
partition f s returns a pair of sets (s1, s2) , where s1 is the set of all the elements of s that satisfy
the predicate f , and s2 is the set of all the elements of s that do not satisfy f .
val split : elt -> t -> t * bool * 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 .
Predicates and comparisons
val is_empty : t -> bool
Test whether a set is empty or not.
val mem : elt -> t -> bool
mem x s tests whether x belongs to the set s .
val equal : t -> t -> bool
equal s1 s2 tests whether the sets s1 and s2 are equal, that is, contain equal elements.
val compare : t -> t -> int
Total ordering between sets. Can be used as the ordering function for doing sets of sets.
val subset : t -> t -> bool
subset s1 s2 tests whether the set s1 is a subset of the set s2 .
val for_all : (elt -> bool) -> t -> bool
for_all f s checks if all elements of the set satisfy the predicate f .
val exists : (elt -> bool) -> t -> bool
exists f s checks if at least one element of the set satisfies the predicate f .
Converting
val to_list : t -> elt list
to_list s is Set.S.elements s .
Since 5.1
val of_list : elt list -> t
of_list l creates a set from a list of elements. This is usually more efficient than folding add over
the list, except perhaps for lists with many duplicated elements.
Since 4.02
val to_seq_from : elt -> t -> elt Seq.t
to_seq_from x s iterates on a subset of the elements of s in ascending order, from x or above.
Since 4.07
val to_seq : t -> elt Seq.t
Iterate on the whole set, in ascending order
Since 4.07
val to_rev_seq : t -> elt Seq.t
Iterate on the whole set, in descending order
Since 4.12
val add_seq : elt Seq.t -> t -> t
Add the given elements to the set, in order.
Since 4.07
val of_seq : elt Seq.t -> t
Build a set from the given bindings
