Sequence

Description

The Sequence concept represents generic index-based sequences.

Compared to other abstract concepts, the Sequence concept is very specific. It represents generic index-based sequences. The reason why such a specific concept is provided is because there are a lot of models that behave exactly the same while being implemented in wildly different ways. It is useful to regroup all those data types under the same umbrella for the purpose of generic programming.

In fact, models of this concept are not only similar. They are actually isomorphic, in a sense that we define below, which is a fancy way of rigorously saying that they behave exactly the same to an external observer.

Minimal complete definition

Iterable, Foldable, and make

The Sequence concept does not provide basic methods that could be used as a minimal complete definition; instead, it borrows methods from other concepts and add laws to them. For this reason, it is necessary to specialize the Sequence metafunction in Hana's namespace to tell Hana that a type is indeed a Sequence. Explicitly specializing the Sequence metafunction can be seen like a seal saying "this data type satisfies the additional laws of a `Sequence`", since those can't be checked by Hana automatically.

Laws

The laws for being a Sequence are simple, and their goal is to restrict the semantics that can be associated to the functions provided by other concepts. First, a Sequence must be a finite Iterable (thus a Foldable too). Secondly, for a Sequence tag S, make<S>(x1, ..., xn) must be an object of tag S and whose linearization is [x1, ..., xn]. This basically ensures that objects of tag S are equivalent to their linearization, and that they can be created from such a linearization (with make).

While it would be possible in theory to handle infinite sequences, doing so complicates the implementation of many algorithms. For simplicity, the current version of the library only handles finite sequences. However, note that this does not affect in any way the potential for having infinite Searchables and Iterables.

Refined concepts

  1. Comparable (definition provided automatically)
    Two Sequences are equal if and only if they contain the same number of elements and their elements at any given index are equal.

  2. Orderable (definition provided automatically)
    Sequences are ordered using the traditional lexicographical ordering.

    int main() { }
    Defines boost::hana::less.
  3. Functor (definition provided automatically)
    Sequences implement transform as the mapping of a function over each element of the sequence. This is somewhat equivalent to what std::transform does to ranges of iterators. Also note that mapping a function over an empty sequence returns an empty sequence and never applies the function, as would be expected.

  4. Applicative (definition provided automatically)
    First, lifting a value into a Sequence is the same as creating a singleton sequence containing that value. Second, applying a sequence of functions to a sequence of values will apply each function to all the values in the sequence, and then return a list of all the results. In other words,
    ap([f1, ..., fN], [x1, ..., xM]) == [
    f1(x1), ..., f1(xM),
    ...
    fN(x1), ..., fN(xM)
    ]

    constexpr auto f = hana::make_pair;
    constexpr auto g = hana::flip(hana::make_pair);
    static_assert(
    hana::ap(hana::make_tuple(f, g), hana::make_tuple(1, 2, 3), hana::make_tuple('a', 'b'))
    ==
    hana::make_tuple(
    f(1, 'a'), f(1, 'b'), f(2, 'a'), f(2, 'b'), f(3, 'a'), f(3, 'b'),
    g(1, 'a'), g(1, 'b'), g(2, 'a'), g(2, 'b'), g(3, 'a'), g(3, 'b')
    )
    , "");
    int main() { }
    Defines boost::hana::ap.
    Adapts std::tuple for use with Hana.
    Defines boost::hana::flip.
    constexpr auto equal
    Returns a Logical representing whether x is equal to y.
    Definition: equal.hpp:64
    constexpr auto flip
    Invoke a function with its two first arguments reversed.
    Definition: flip.hpp:31
    Defines boost::hana::lift.
    Defines boost::hana::pair.
  5. Monad (definition provided automatically)
    First, flatenning a Sequence takes a sequence of sequences and concatenates them to get a larger sequence. In other words,
    flatten([[a1, ..., aN], ..., [z1, ..., zM]]) == [
    a1, ..., aN, ..., z1, ..., zM
    ]
    This acts like a std::tuple_cat function, except it receives a sequence of sequences instead of a variadic pack of sequences to flatten.
    Example:
    // Copyright Louis Dionne 2013-2017
    // Distributed under the Boost Software License, Version 1.0.
    // (See accompanying file LICENSE.md or copy at http://boost.org/LICENSE_1_0.txt)
    namespace hana = boost::hana;
    static_assert(
    hana::flatten(hana::make_tuple(
    hana::make_tuple(1, 2),
    hana::make_tuple(3, 4),
    hana::make_tuple(hana::make_tuple(5, 6))
    ))
    == hana::make_tuple(1, 2, 3, 4, hana::make_tuple(5, 6))
    , "");
    int main() { }
    Defines boost::hana::flatten.
    Also note that the model of Monad for Sequences can be seen as modeling nondeterminism. A nondeterministic computation can be modeled as a function which returns a sequence of possible results. In this line of thought, chaining a sequence of values into such a function will return a sequence of all the possible output values, i.e. a sequence of all the values applied to all the functions in the sequences.

◆ drop_back

constexpr auto boost::hana::drop_back
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/drop_back.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs[, auto const& n]) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Drop the last n elements of a finite sequence, and return the rest.

Given a finite Sequence xs with a linearization of [x1, ..., xm] and a non-negative IntegralConstant n, drop_back(xs, n) is a sequence with the same tag as xs whose linearization is [x1, ..., xm-n]. If n is not given, it defaults to an IntegralConstant with a value equal to 1.

In case length(xs) <= n, drop_back will simply drop the whole sequence without failing, thus returning an empty sequence.

Parameters
xsThe sequence from which elements are dropped.
nA non-negative IntegralConstant representing the number of elements to be dropped from the end of the sequence. If n is not given, it defaults to an IntegralConstant with a value equal to 1.

◆ insert

constexpr auto boost::hana::insert {}
related

#include <boost/hana/fwd/insert.hpp>

Insert a value at a given index in a sequence.

Given a sequence, an index and an element to insert, insert inserts the element at the given index.

Parameters
xsThe sequence in which a value should be inserted.
nThe index at which an element should be inserted. This must be a non-negative Constant of an integral type, and it must also be true that n < length(xs) if xs is a finite sequence.
elementThe element to insert in the sequence.

◆ insert_range

constexpr auto boost::hana::insert_range
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/insert_range.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs, auto&& n, auto&& elements) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Insert several values at a given index in a sequence.

Given a sequence, an index and any Foldable containing elements to insert, insert_range inserts the elements in the Foldable at the given index of the sequence.

Parameters
xsThe sequence in which values should be inserted.
nThe index at which elements should be inserted. This must be a non-negative Constant of an integral type, and it must also be true that n < length(xs) if xs is a finite sequence.
elementsA Foldable containing elements to insert in the sequence.

◆ intersperse

constexpr auto boost::hana::intersperse
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/intersperse.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs, auto&& z) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Insert a value between each pair of elements in a finite sequence.

Given a finite Sequence xs with a linearization of [x1, x2, ..., xn], intersperse(xs, z) is a new sequence with a linearization of [x1, z, x2, z, x3, ..., xn-1, z, xn]. In other words, it inserts the z element between every pair of elements of the original sequence. If the sequence is empty or has a single element, intersperse returns the sequence as-is. In all cases, the sequence must be finite.

Parameters
xsThe sequence in which a value is interspersed.
zThe value to be inserted between every pair of elements of the sequence.

◆ permutations

constexpr auto boost::hana::permutations
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/permutations.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Return a sequence of all the permutations of the given sequence.

Specifically, permutations(xs) is a sequence whose elements are permutations of the original sequence xs. The permutations are not guaranteed to be in any specific order. Also note that the number of permutations grows very rapidly as the length of the original sequence increases. The growth rate is O(length(xs)!); with a sequence xs of length only 8, permutations(xs) contains over 40 000 elements!

= [](auto&& xs, auto const& n) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Remove the element at a given index from a sequence.

remove_at returns a new sequence identical to the original, except that the element at the given index is removed. Specifically, remove_at([x0, ..., xn-1, xn, xn+1, ..., xm], n) is a new sequence equivalent to [x0, ..., xn-1, xn+1, ..., xm].

Note
The behavior is undefined if the index is out of the bounds of the sequence.
Parameters
xsA sequence from which an element is to be removed.
nAn non-negative IntegralConstant representing the index of the element to be removed from the sequence. The behavior is undefined if that index is not in the bounds of the sequence.

Converts an object from one data type to another.
Definition: to.hpp:97

Remove the elements inside a given range of indices from a sequence.

remove_range returns a new sequence identical to the original, except that elements at indices in the provided range are removed. Specifically, remove_range([x0, ..., xn], from, to) is a new sequence equivalent to [x0, ..., x_from-1, x_to, ..., xn].

Parameters
xsA sequence from which elements are removed.
[from,to)An half-open interval of IntegralConstants representing the indices of the elements to be removed from the sequence. The IntegralConstants in the half-open interval must be non-negative and in the bounds of the sequence. The half-open interval must also be valid, meaning that from <= to.

◆ scan_left

constexpr auto boost::hana::scan_left
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/scan_left.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs[, auto&& state], auto const& f) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Fold a Sequence to the left and return a list containing the successive reduction states.

Like fold_left, scan_left reduces a sequence to a single value using a binary operation. However, unlike fold_left, it builds up a sequence of the intermediary results computed along the way and returns that instead of only the final reduction state. Like fold_left, scan_left can be used with or without an initial reduction state.

When the sequence is empty, two things may arise. If an initial state was provided, a singleton list containing that state is returned. Otherwise, if no initial state was provided, an empty list is returned. In particular, unlike for fold_left, using scan_left on an empty sequence without an initial state is not an error.

More specifically, scan_left([x1, ..., xn], state, f) is a sequence whose ith element is equivalent to fold_left([x1, ..., xi], state, f). The no-state variant is handled in an analogous way. For illustration, consider this left fold on a short sequence:

fold_left([x1, x2, x3], state, f) == f(f(f(state, x1), x2), x3)

The analogous sequence generated with scan_left will be

scan_left([x1, x2, x3], state, f) == [
state,
f(state, x1),
f(f(state, x1), x2),
f(f(f(state, x1), x2), x3)
]
constexpr auto scan_left
Fold a Sequence to the left and return a list containing the successive reduction states.
Definition: scan_left.hpp:86

Similarly, consider this left fold (without an initial state) on a short sequence:

fold_left([x1, x2, x3, x4], f) == f(f(f(x1, x2), x3), x4)

The analogous sequence generated with scan_left will be

scan_left([x1, x2, x3, x4], f) == [
x1,
f(x1, x2),
f(f(x1, x2), x3),
f(f(f(x1, x2), x3), x4)
]
Parameters
xsThe sequence to scan from the left.
stateThe (optional) initial reduction state.
fA binary function called as f(state, x), where state is the result accumulated so far and x is an element in the sequence. If no initial state is provided, f is called as f(x1, x2), where x1 and x2 are both elements of the sequence.

◆ scan_right

constexpr auto boost::hana::scan_right
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/scan_right.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs[, auto&& state], auto const& f) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Fold a Sequence to the right and return a list containing the successive reduction states.

Like fold_right, scan_right reduces a sequence to a single value using a binary operation. However, unlike fold_right, it builds up a sequence of the intermediary results computed along the way and returns that instead of only the final reduction state. Like fold_right, scan_right can be used with or without an initial reduction state.

When the sequence is empty, two things may arise. If an initial state was provided, a singleton list containing that state is returned. Otherwise, if no initial state was provided, an empty list is returned. In particular, unlike for fold_right, using scan_right on an empty sequence without an initial state is not an error.

More specifically, scan_right([x1, ..., xn], state, f) is a sequence whose ith element is equivalent to fold_right([x1, ..., xi], state, f). The no-state variant is handled in an analogous way. For illustration, consider this right fold on a short sequence:

fold_right([x1, x2, x3], state, f) == f(x1, f(x2, f(x3, state)))

The analogous sequence generated with scan_right will be

scan_right([x1, x2, x3], state, f) == [
f(x1, f(x2, f(x3, state))),

Parameters
xsThe sequence to scan from the right.
stateThe (optional) initial reduction state.

◆ slice

constexpr auto boost::hana::slice
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/slice.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs, auto&& indices) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Extract the elements of a Sequence at the given indices.

Given an arbitrary sequence of indices, slice returns a new sequence of the elements of the original sequence that appear at those indices. In other words,

slice([x1, ..., xn], [i1, ..., ik]) == [x_i1, ..., x_ik]
constexpr auto slice
Extract the elements of a Sequence at the given indices.
Definition: slice.hpp:53

The indices do not have to be ordered or contiguous in any particular way, but they must not be out of the bounds of the sequence. It is also possible to specify the same index multiple times, in which case the element at this index will be repeatedly included in the resulting sequence.

Parameters
xsThe sequence from which a subsequence is extracted.
indicesA compile-time Foldable containing non-negative IntegralConstants representing the indices. The indices are 0-based, and they must all be in bounds of the xs sequence. Note that any Foldable will really do (no need for an Iterable, for example); the linearization of the indices is used to determine the order of the elements included in the slice.

Initial value:
= [](auto&& xs) {
return hana::slice(forwarded(xs), hana::range_c<std::size_t, from, to>);
}

Shorthand to slice a contiguous range of elements.

slice_c is simply a shorthand to slice a contiguous range of elements. In particular, slice_c<from, to>(xs) is equivalent to slice(xs, range_c<std::size_t, from, to>), which simply slices all the elements of xs contained in the half-open interval delimited by [from, to). Like for slice, the indices used with slice_c are 0-based and they must be in the bounds of the sequence being sliced.

Template Parameters
fromThe index of the first element in the slice.
toOne-past the index of the last element in the slice. It must hold that from <= to.

Initial value:

Zip one sequence or more.

Given n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip produces a sequence whose i-th element is a tuple of (s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip produces a sequence of the form

[
make_tuple(s1[0], ..., sn[0]),
make_tuple(s1[1], ..., sn[1]),
...
make_tuple(s1[M], ..., sn[M])
]

where M is the length of the sequences, which are all assumed to have the same length. Assuming the sequences to all have the same size allows the library to perform some optimizations. To zip sequences that may have different lengths, zip_shortest should be used instead. Also note that it is an error to provide no sequence at all, i.e. zip expects at least one sequence.

Given n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip_shortest produces a sequence whose i-th element is a tuple of (s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip_shortest produces a sequence of the form

[

where M is the length of the shortest sequence. Hence, the returned sequence stops when the shortest input sequence is exhausted. If you know that all the sequences you are about to zip have the same length, you should use zip instead, since it can be more optimized. Also note that it is an error to provide no sequence at all, i.e. zip_shortest expects at least one sequence.

If you know that all the sequences you are about to zip have the same length, you should use zip_with instead, since it can be more optimized. Also note that it is an error to provide no sequence at all, i.e. zip_shortest_with expects at least one sequence.

◆ zip_with

constexpr auto boost::hana::zip_with
constexpr

#include <boost/hana/fwd/zip_with.hpp>

Initial value:
= [](auto&& f, auto&& x1, ..., auto&& xn) {
return tag-dispatched;
}

Zip one sequence or more with a given function.

Given a n-ary function f and n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip_with produces a sequence whose i-th element is f(s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip_with produces a sequence of the form

[
f(s1[0], ..., sn[0]),
f(s1[1], ..., sn[1]),
...
f(s1[M], ..., sn[M])
]

where M is the length of the sequences, which are all assumed to have the same length. Assuming the sequences to all have the same size allows the library to perform some optimizations. To zip sequences that may have different lengths, zip_shortest_with should be used instead. Also note that it is an error to provide no sequence at all, i.e. zip_with expects at least one sequence.
