• A : Type
• B : Type

This package provides tools for operating on primitive arrays with unary and binary functions involving different underlying types.

map : (Mapping(B, A), PrimitiveArray(A)) -> PrimitiveArray(B)

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

reduce : (Mapping(B, A, B), PrimitiveArray(A), B) -> B

reduce(f, a, r) applies function f to each successive element of the primitive 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 : (Mapping(B, A, B), PrimitiveArray(A), B) -> PrimitiveArray(B)

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