BatBitSet
Module
Efficient bit sets.
A bitset is an array of boolean values that can be accessed with indexes like an array but provides a better memory usage (divided by Sys.word_size; either 32 or 64) for a very small speed trade-off. It can provide efficient storage of dense sets of nonnegative integers near zero. Sparse sets should use BatSet
, sets with large ranges of contiguous ints should use BatISet
.
Create an empty bitset of capacity 0, the bitset will automatically expand when needed.
Example: BitSet.empty ()
Create an empty bitset with at least an initial capacity (in number of bits).
Example: BitSet.create 0 = BitSet.empty ()
val create_full : int -> t
Create a full bitset with at least initial capacity (in number of bits). All the bit under the defined capacity will be set.
Example: BitSet.count (BitSet.create_full n) = n
Copy a bitset : further modifications of first one will not affect the copy.
Example:
let a = Bitset.create 8 in
let b = BitSet.copy a in
BitSet.set a 6;
BitSet.mem a 6 && not (BitSet.mem b 6)
val mem : t -> int -> bool
mem s n
returns true if nth-bit in the bitset s
is set, or false otherwise.
Example: let a = BitSet.create_full 256 in not (BitSet.mem a 300)
count s
returns the number of bits set in the bitset s
. Also known as Population Count, or cardinal
for sets.
Example: BitSet.count (BitSet.of_list [6;4;2;2;1]) = 4
val next_set_bit : t -> int -> int option
next_set_bit s n
returns Some m
when m
is the next set element with index greater than or equal n
, or None if no such element exists (i.e. n
is greater than the largest element)
More efficient than scanning with repeated BitSet.mem
.
In-place UpdateThese functions modify an existing bitset.
val set : t -> int -> unit
set s n
sets the n
th-bit in the bitset s
to true.
val unset : t -> int -> unit
unset s n
sets the n
th-bit in the bitset s
to false.
val put : t -> bool -> int -> unit
put s v n
sets the nth-bit in the bitset s
to v
.
val toggle : t -> int -> unit
toggle s n
changes the nth-bit value in the bitset s
.
val intersect : t -> t -> unit
intersect s t
sets s
to the intersection of the sets s
and t
.
val unite : t -> t -> unit
unite s t
sets s
to the union of the sets s
and t
.
val differentiate : t -> t -> unit
differentiate s t
removes the elements of t
from s
.
val differentiate_sym : t -> t -> unit
differentiate_sym s t
sets s
to the symmetrical difference of the sets s
and t
.
Return new bitsetThese functions return a new bitset that shares nothing with the input bitset. This is not as efficient as the in-place update.
add n s
returns a copy of s
with bit n
true.
val remove : int -> t -> t
remove n s
returns a copy of s
with bit n
false.
inter s t
returns the intersection of sets s
and t
.
union s t
return the union of sets s
and t
.
val sym_diff : t -> t -> t
sym_diff s t
returns the symmetrical difference of s
and t
.
Boilerplate codeenum s
returns an enumeration of bits which are set in the bitset s
.
of_enum ~cap e
builds a bitset of capacity cap
an enumeration of ints e
.
Note: Performance of this function may be poor if enumeration is in increasing order and the max.
val of_list : ?cap :int -> int list -> t
As of_enum
, but from a list
val compare : t -> t -> int
compare s1 s2
compares two bitsets using a lexicographic ordering. Highest bit indexes are compared first. The capacity of the bitsets is not important for this comparison, only the bits starting with the highest set bit and going down.
val equal : t -> t -> bool
equal s1 s2
returns true if, and only if, all bits values in s1 are the same as in s2.
ord s1 s2
returns BatOrd.Lt
, BatOrd.Eq
or BatOrd.Gt
if compare s1 s2
is, respectively, < 0
, 0
or > 0
.
Internals
capacity s
returns the number of bits, both set and unset, stored in s
. This is guaranteed to be larger than the largest element (set bit index) in s
.
