{- | A simple purely functional circular list, or ring, data type. Lets describe what we mean by 'ring'. A ring is a circular data structure such that if you continue rotating the ring, you'll eventually return to the element you first observed. All of our analogies involve sitting at a table who's top surface rotates about its center axis (think of those convenient rotating platforms one often finds in an (Americanized) Chinese Restaurant). Only the closest item on the table is avialable to us. In order to reach other elements on the table, we need to rotate the table to the left or the right. Our convention for this problem says that rotations to the right are a forward motion while rotations to the left are backward motions. We'll use the following circular list for our examples: > 8 7 6 > 9 5 > A 4 > B 3 > C 2 > D 0 1 > ^ The pointer at the bottom represents our position at the table. The element currently in front of is is referred to as the `focus`. So, in this case, our focus is 0. If we were to rotate the table to the right using the `rotR` operation, we'd have the following table. > 9 8 7 > A 6 > B 5 > C 4 > D 3 > 0 1 2 > ^ This yields 1 as our new focus. Rotating this table left would return 0 to the focus position. -} module Data.CircularList ( -- * Data Types CList, -- * Functions -- ** Creation of CLists empty, fromList, singleton, -- ** Update of CList update, reverseDirection, -- ** Converting CLists to Lists leftElements, rightElements, toList, toInfList, -- ** Extraction and Accumulation focus, insertL, insertR, removeL, removeR, -- ** Manipulation of Focus allRotations, rotR, rotL, rotN, rotNR, rotNL, rotateTo, findRotateTo, -- ** List-like functions filterR, filterL, foldrR, foldrL, foldlR, foldlL, -- ** Manipulation of Packing balance, packL, packR, -- ** Information isEmpty, size, ) where import Data.CircularList.Internal
