O(n) cons is analogous to (:) for lists, but of different complexity, as it requires making a copy.

O(1) take n, applied to a vector xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs.

O(1) drop n xs returns the suffix of xs after the first n elements, or [] if n > length xs.

O(1) takeR n, applied to a vector xs, returns the suffix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs.

O(1) dropR n xs returns the prefix of xs before the last n elements, or [] if n > length xs.

O(1) Extract a sub-range vector with give start index and length.

This function is a total function just like 'take/drop', index/length exceeds range will be ingored, e.g.

slice 1 3 "hello"   == "ell"
slice -1 -1 "hello" == ""
slice -2 2 "hello"  == ""
slice 2 10 "hello"  == "llo"

This holds for all x y: slice x y vs == drop x . take (x+y) vs

O(1) splitAt n xs is equivalent to (take n xs, drop n xs).

O(n) Applied to a predicate p and a vector vs, returns the longest prefix (possibly empty) of vs of elements that satisfy p.

O(n) Applied to a predicate p and a vector vs, returns the longest suffix (possibly empty) of vs of elements that satisfy p.

O(n) Applied to a predicate p and a vector vs, returns the suffix (possibly empty) remaining after takeWhile p vs.

O(n) Applied to a predicate p and a vector vs, returns the prefix (possibly empty) remaining before takeWhileR p vs.

O(n) dropAround f = dropWhile f . dropWhileR f

O(n) Split the vector into the longest prefix of elements that do not satisfy the predicate and the rest without copying.

O(n) Split the vector into the longest prefix of elements that satisfy the predicate and the rest without copying.

breakR behaves like break but from the end of the vector.

breakR p == spanR (not.p)

spanR behaves like span but from the end of the vector.

Break a vector on a subvector, returning a pair of the part of the vector prior to the match, and the rest of the vector, e.g.

break "wor" "hello, world" = ("hello, ", "world")

O(n) The stripPrefix function takes two vectors and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its prefix, and otherwise Nothing.

O(n) The stripSuffix function takes two vectors and returns Just the remainder of the second iff the first is its suffix, and otherwise Nothing.

O(n) Break a vector into pieces separated by the delimiter element consuming the delimiter. I.e.

split '\n' "a\nb\nd\ne" == ["a","b","d","e"]
split 'a'  "aXaXaXa"    == ["","X","X","X",""]
split 'x'  "x"          == ["",""]

and

intercalate [c] . split c == id
split == splitWith . (==)

NOTE, this function behavior different with bytestring's. see #56.

O(n) Splits a vector into components delimited by separators, where the predicate returns True for a separator element. The resulting components do not contain the separators. Two adjacent separators result in an empty component in the output. eg.

splitWith (=='a') "aabbaca" == ["","","bb","c",""]
splitWith (=='a') []        == [""]

NOTE, this function behavior different with bytestring's. see #56.

O(m+n) Break haystack into pieces separated by needle.

Note: An empty needle will essentially split haystack element by element.

Examples:

>>> splitOn "\r\n" "a\r\nb\r\nd\r\ne"
["a","b","d","e"]

>>> splitOn "aaa"  "aaaXaaaXaaaXaaa"
["","X","X","X",""]

>>> splitOn "x"  "x"
["",""]

and

intercalate s . splitOn s         == id
splitOn (singleton c)             == split (==c)

The isPrefix function returns True if the first argument is a prefix of the second.

O(n) The isSuffixOf function takes two vectors and returns True if the first is a suffix of the second.

Check whether one vector is a subvector of another.

needle isInfixOf haystack === null haystack || indices needle haystake /= [].

O(n) Find the longest non-empty common prefix of two strings and return it, along with the suffixes of each string at which they no longer match. e.g.

>>> commonPrefix "foobar" "fooquux"
("foo","bar","quux")

>>> commonPrefix "veeble" "fetzer"
("","veeble","fetzer")

O(n) Breaks a Bytes up into a list of words, delimited by ascii space.

O(n) Breaks a Bytes up into a list of lines, delimited by ascii n.

O(n) Joins words with ascii space.

O(n) Joins lines with ascii n.

Add padding to the left so that the whole vector's length is at least n.

Add padding to the right so that the whole vector's length is at least n.

O(n) reverse vs efficiently returns the elements of xs in reverse order.

O(n) The intersperse function takes an element and a vector and `intersperses' that element between the elements of the vector. It is analogous to the intersperse function on Lists.

O(n) The intercalate function takes a vector and a list of vectors and concatenates the list after interspersing the first argument between each element of the list.

Note: intercalate will force the entire vector list.

O(n) An efficient way to join vector with an element.

The transpose function transposes the rows and columns of its vector argument.

zipWith' zip two vector with a zipping function.

For example, zipWith (+) is applied to two vector to produce a vector of corresponding sums, the result will be evaluated strictly.

unzipWith' disassemble a vector with a disassembling function,

The results inside tuple will be evaluated strictly.

scanl' is similar to foldl, but returns a list of successive reduced values from the left.

scanl' f z [x1, x2, ...] == [z, z `f` x1, (z `f` x1) `f` x2, ...]

Note that

lastM (scanl' f z xs) == Just (foldl f z xs).

'scanl1\'' is a variant of scanl that has no starting value argument.

scanl1' f [x1, x2, ...] == [x1, x1 `f` x2, ...]
scanl1' f [] == []

scanr' is the right-to-left dual of scanl'.

scanr1' is a variant of scanr that has no starting value argument.
