• A: Type

• B: Type

This package provides tools for operating on one-dimensional arrays with unary and binary functions involving different underlying types

map: (A -> B, OneDimensionalArray A) -> OneDimensionalArray B

map(f, a) applies function f to each member of one-dimensional array a resulting in a new one-dimensional array over a possibly different underlying domain.

reduce: ((A, B) -> B, OneDimensionalArray A, B) -> B

reduce(f, a, r) applies function f to each successive element of the one-dimensional array a and an accumulant initialized to r. For example, reduce(_+\$Integer, [1, 2, 3], 0) does 3+(2+(1+0)). Note: third argument r may be regarded as the identity element for the function f.

scan: ((A, B) -> B, OneDimensionalArray A, B) -> OneDimensionalArray B

scan(f, a, r) successively applies reduce(f, x, r) to more and more leading sub-arrays x of one-dimensional array a. More precisely, if a is [a1, a2, ...], then scan(f, a, r) returns [reduce(f, [a1], r), reduce(f, [a1, a2], r), ...].
