val length : 'a list -> int

Return the length (number of elements) of the given list.

val hd : 'a list -> 'a

Return the first element of the given list. Raise Failure "hd" if the list is empty.

val compare_lengths : 'a list -> 'b list -> int

Compare the lengths of two lists. compare_lengths l1 l2 is equivalent to compare (length l1) (length l2), except that the computation stops after itering on the shortest list.

  • since 4.05.0
val compare_length_with : 'a list -> len:int -> int

Compare the length of a list to an integer. compare_length_with l n is equivalent to compare (length l) n, except that the computation stops after at most n iterations on the list.

  • since 4.05.0
val tl : 'a list -> 'a list

Return the given list without its first element. Raise Failure "tl" if the list is empty.

val nth_opt : 'a list -> int -> 'a option

Return the n-th element of the given list. The first element (head of the list) is at position 0. Return None if the list is too short. Raise Invalid_argument "List.nth" if n is negative.

  • since 4.05
val rev : 'a list -> 'a list

List reversal.

val append : 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

Catenate two lists. Same function as the infix operator @. Not tail-recursive (length of the first argument). The @ operator is not tail-recursive either.

val rev_append : 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

List.rev_append l1 l2 reverses l1 and concatenates it to l2. This is equivalent to List.rev l1 @ l2, but rev_append is tail-recursive and more efficient.

val concat : 'a list list -> 'a list

Concatenate a list of lists. The elements of the argument are all concatenated together (in the same order) to give the result. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).

val flatten : 'a list list -> 'a list

Same as concat. Not tail-recursive (length of the argument + length of the longest sub-list).

Iterators
val iter : f:('a -> unit) -> 'a list -> unit

List.iter f [a1; ...; an] applies function f in turn to a1; ...; an. It is equivalent to begin f a1; f a2; ...; f an; () end.

val iteri : f:(int -> 'a -> unit) -> 'a list -> unit

Same as List.iter, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.

  • since 4.00.0
val map : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

List.map f [a1; ...; an] applies function f to a1, ..., an, and builds the list [f a1; ...; f an] with the results returned by f. Not tail-recursive.

val mapi : f:(int -> 'a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

Same as List.map, but the function is applied to the index of the element as first argument (counting from 0), and the element itself as second argument.

  • since 4.00.0
val rev_map : f:('a -> 'b) -> 'a list -> 'b list

List.rev_map f l gives the same result as List.rev (List.map f l), but is tail-recursive and more efficient.

val fold_left : f:('a -> 'b -> 'a) -> init:'a -> 'b list -> 'a

List.fold_left f a [b1; ...; bn] is f (... (f (f a b1) b2) ...) bn.

val fold_right : f:('a -> 'b -> 'b) -> 'a list -> init:'b -> 'b

List.fold_right f [a1; ...; an] b is f a1 (f a2 (... (f an b) ...)). Not tail-recursive.

Iterators on two lists
val iter2 : f:('a -> 'b -> unit) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> unit

List.iter2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] calls in turn f a1 b1; ...; f an bn. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.

val map2 : f:('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> 'c list

List.map2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] is [f a1 b1; ...; f an bn]. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.

val rev_map2 : f:('a -> 'b -> 'c) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> 'c list

List.rev_map2 f l1 l2 gives the same result as List.rev (List.map2 f l1 l2), but is tail-recursive and more efficient.

val fold_left2 : f:('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'a) -> init:'a -> 'b list -> 'c list -> 'a

List.fold_left2 f a [b1; ...; bn] [c1; ...; cn] is f (... (f (f a b1 c1) b2 c2) ...) bn cn. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.

val fold_right2 : f:('a -> 'b -> 'c -> 'c) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> init:'c -> 'c

List.fold_right2 f [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] c is f a1 b1 (f a2 b2 (... (f an bn c) ...)). Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.

List scanning
val for_all : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> bool

for_all p [a1; ...; an] checks if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate p. That is, it returns (p a1) && (p a2) && ... && (p an).

val exists : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> bool

exists p [a1; ...; an] checks if at least one element of the list satisfies the predicate p. That is, it returns (p a1) || (p a2) || ... || (p an).

val for_all2 : f:('a -> 'b -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> bool

Same as List.for_all, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.

val exists2 : f:('a -> 'b -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'b list -> bool

Same as List.exists, but for a two-argument predicate. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists are determined to have different lengths.

val mem : 'a -> set:'a list -> bool

mem a l is true if and only if a is equal to an element of l.

val memq : 'a -> set:'a list -> bool

Same as List.mem, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare list elements.

List searching
val find_opt : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a option

find p l returns the first element of the list l that satisfies the predicate p. Returns None if there is no value that satisfies p in the list l.

  • since 4.05
val filter : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

filter p l returns all the elements of the list l that satisfy the predicate p. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.

val find_all : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list

find_all is another name for List.filter.

val partition : f:('a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list * 'a list

partition p l returns a pair of lists (l1, l2), where l1 is the list of all the elements of l that satisfy the predicate p, and l2 is the list of all the elements of l that do not satisfy p. The order of the elements in the input list is preserved.

Association lists
val assoc_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b option

assoc_opt a l returns the value associated with key a in the list of pairs l. That is, assoc a [ ...; (a,b); ...] = b if (a,b) is the leftmost binding of a in list l. Returns None if there is no value associated with a in the list l.

  • since 4.05
val assq : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b

Same as List.assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.

val assq_opt : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> 'b option

Same as List.assoc_opt, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.

  • since 4.05.0
val mem_assoc : 'a -> map:('a * 'b) list -> bool

Same as List.assoc, but simply return true if a binding exists, and false if no bindings exist for the given key.

val mem_assq : 'a -> map:('a * 'b) list -> bool

Same as List.mem_assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys.

val remove_assoc : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list

remove_assoc a l returns the list of pairs l without the first pair with key a, if any. Not tail-recursive.

val remove_assq : 'a -> ('a * 'b) list -> ('a * 'b) list

Same as List.remove_assoc, but uses physical equality instead of structural equality to compare keys. Not tail-recursive.

Lists of pairs
val split : ('a * 'b) list -> 'a list * 'b list

Transform a list of pairs into a pair of lists: split [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)] is ([a1; ...; an], [b1; ...; bn]). Not tail-recursive.

val combine : 'a list -> 'b list -> ('a * 'b) list

Transform a pair of lists into a list of pairs: combine [a1; ...; an] [b1; ...; bn] is [(a1,b1); ...; (an,bn)]. Raise Invalid_argument if the two lists have different lengths. Not tail-recursive.

Sorting
val fast_sort : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list

Same as List.sort or List.stable_sort, whichever is faster on typical input.

val merge : cmp:('a -> 'a -> int) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list

Merge two lists: Assuming that l1 and l2 are sorted according to the comparison function cmp, merge cmp l1 l2 will return a sorted list containting all the elements of l1 and l2. If several elements compare equal, the elements of l1 will be before the elements of l2. Not tail-recursive (sum of the lengths of the arguments).
