Class of immutable array types
class (HasBounds a) => IArray a e

Class of immutable array types.

An array type has the form (a i e) where a is the array type constructor (kind * -> * -> *), i is the index type (a member of the class Ix), and e is the element type. The IArray class is parameterised over both a and e, so that instances specialised to certain element types can be defined.

The Ix class and operations
module Data.Ix
Array construction
array
:: (IArray a e, Ix i)
=> (i, i) bounds of the array: (lowest,highest)
-> [(i, e)] list of associations
-> a i e

Constructs an immutable array from a pair of bounds and a list of initial associations.

The bounds are specified as a pair of the lowest and highest bounds in the array respectively. For example, a one-origin vector of length 10 has bounds (1,10), and a one-origin 10 by 10 matrix has bounds ((1,1),(10,10)).

An association is a pair of the form (i,x), which defines the value of the array at index i to be x. The array is undefined if any index in the list is out of bounds. If any two associations in the list have the same index, the value at that index is undefined.

Because the indices must be checked for these errors, array is strict in the bounds argument and in the indices of the association list. Whether array is strict or non-strict in the elements depends on the array type: Array is a non-strict array type, but all of the UArray arrays are strict. Thus in a non-strict array, recurrences such as the following are possible:

 a = array (1,100) ((1,1) : [(i, i * a!(i-1)) | i \<- [2..100]])

Not every index within the bounds of the array need appear in the association list, but the values associated with indices that do not appear will be undefined.

If, in any dimension, the lower bound is greater than the upper bound, then the array is legal, but empty. Indexing an empty array always gives an array-bounds error, but bounds still yields the bounds with which the array was constructed.

listArray :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => (i, i) -> [e] -> a i e
Constructs an immutable array from a list of initial elements. The list gives the elements of the array in ascending order beginning with the lowest index.
accumArray
:: (IArray a e, Ix i)
=> (e -> e' -> e) An accumulating function
-> e A default element
-> (i, i) The bounds of the array
-> [(i, e')] List of associations
-> a i e Returns: the array

Constructs an immutable array from a list of associations. Unlike array, the same index is allowed to occur multiple times in the list of associations; an accumulating function is used to combine the values of elements with the same index.

For example, given a list of values of some index type, hist produces a histogram of the number of occurrences of each index within a specified range:

 hist :: (Ix a, Num b) => (a,a) -> [a] -> Array a b
 hist bnds is = accumArray (+) 0 bnds [(i, 1) | i\<-is, inRange bnds i]
Indexing arrays
(!) :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => a i e -> i -> e
Returns the element of an immutable array at the specified index.
Incremental updates
(//) :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => a i e -> [(i, e)] -> a i e

Takes an array and a list of pairs and returns an array identical to the left argument except that it has been updated by the associations in the right argument. (As with the array function, the indices in the association list must be unique for the updated elements to be defined.) For example, if m is a 1-origin, n by n matrix, then m//[((i,i), 0) | i <- [1..n]] is the same matrix, except with the diagonal zeroed.

For most array types, this operation is O(n) where n is the size of the array. However, the DiffArray type provides this operation with complexity linear in the number of updates.

accum :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => (e -> e' -> e) -> a i e -> [(i, e')] -> a i e

accum f takes an array and an association list and accumulates pairs from the list into the array with the accumulating function f. Thus accumArray can be defined using accum:

 accumArray f z b = accum f (array b [(i, z) | i \<- range b])
Derived Arrays
amap :: (IArray a e', IArray a e, Ix i) => (e' -> e) -> a i e' -> a i e
Returns a new array derived from the original array by applying a function to each of the elements.
ixmap :: (IArray a e, Ix i, Ix j) => (i, i) -> (i -> j) -> a j e -> a i e
Returns a new array derived from the original array by applying a function to each of the indices.
Deconstructing arrays
bounds :: (HasBounds a, Ix i) => a i e -> (i, i)
Extracts the bounds of an array
indices :: (HasBounds a, Ix i) => a i e -> [i]
Returns a list of all the valid indices in an array.
elems :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => a i e -> [e]
Returns a list of all the elements of an array, in the same order as their indices.
assocs :: (IArray a e, Ix i) => a i e -> [(i, e)]
Returns the contents of an array as a list of associations.
