BitSet

# Module BitSet

    module BitSet: sig .. end

Efficient bit sets.

A bitset is an array of boolean values that can be accessed with indexes like an array but provides a better memory usage (divided by 8) for a very small speed trade-off.

    type t

    exception Negative_index of string

When a negative bit value is used for one of the BitSet functions, this exception is raised with the name of the function.

    val empty : unit -> t

Create an empty bitset of size 0, the bitset will automatically expand when needed.

    val create : int -> t

Create an empty bitset with an initial size (in number of bits).

    val copy : t -> t

Copy a bitset : further modifications of first one will not affect the copy.

    val clone : t -> t

Same as `copy`

    val set : t -> int -> unit

`set s n` sets the nth-bit in the bitset `s` to true.

    val unset : t -> int -> unit

`unset s n` sets the nth-bit in the bitset `s` to false.

    val put : t -> bool -> int -> unit

`put s v n` sets the nth-bit in the bitset `s` to `v`.

    val toggle : t -> int -> unit

`toggle s n` changes the nth-bit value in the bitset `s`.

    val is_set : t -> int -> bool

`is_set s n` returns true if nth-bit in the bitset `s` is set, or false otherwise.

    val compare : t -> t -> int

`compare s1 s2` compares two bitsets. Highest bit indexes are compared first.

    val equals : t -> t -> bool

`equals s1 s2` returns true if, and only if, all bits values in s1 are the same as in s2.

    val count : t -> int

`count s` returns the number of bits set in the bitset `s`.

    val enum : t -> int Enum.t

`enum s` returns an enumeration of bits which are set in the bitset `s`.

    val intersect : t -> t -> unit

`intersect s t` sets `s` to the intersection of the sets `s` and `t`.

    val unite : t -> t -> unit

`unite s t` sets `s` to the union of the sets `s` and `t`.

    val differentiate : t -> t -> unit

`differentiate s t` removes the elements of `t` from `s`.

    val differentiate_sym : t -> t -> unit

`differentiate_sym s t` sets `s` to the symmetrical difference of the sets `s` and `t`.

    val inter : t -> t -> t

`inter s t` returns the intersection of sets `s` and `t`.

    val union : t -> t -> t

`union s t` return the union of sets `s` and `t`.

    val diff : t -> t -> t

`diff s t` returns `s`-`t`.

    val sym_diff : t -> t -> t

`sym_diff s t` returns the symmetrical difference of `s` and `t`.
