Overview

Package slices defines various functions useful with slices of any type. Unless otherwise specified, these functions all apply to the elements of a slice at index 0 <= i < len(s).

Note that the less function in IsSortedFunc, SortFunc, SortStableFunc requires a strict weak ordering (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering#Strict_weak_orderings), or the sorting may fail to sort correctly. A common case is when sorting slices of floating-point numbers containing NaN values.

Functions

func BinarySearch

func BinarySearch[E constraints.Ordered](x []E, target E) (int, bool)

BinarySearch searches for target in a sorted slice and returns the position where target is found, or the position where target would appear in the sort order; it also returns a bool saying whether the target is really found in the slice. The slice must be sorted in increasing order.

func BinarySearchFunc

func BinarySearchFunc[E, T any](x []E, target T, cmp func(E, T) int) (int, bool)

BinarySearchFunc works like BinarySearch, but uses a custom comparison function. The slice must be sorted in increasing order, where "increasing" is defined by cmp. cmp should return 0 if the slice element matches the target, a negative number if the slice element precedes the target, or a positive number if the slice element follows the target. cmp must implement the same ordering as the slice, such that if cmp(a, t) < 0 and cmp(b, t) >= 0, then a must precede b in the slice.

func Clip

func Clip[S ~[]E, E any](s S) S

Clip removes unused capacity from the slice, returning s[:len(s):len(s)].

func Clone

func Clone[S ~[]E, E any](s S) S

Clone returns a copy of the slice. The elements are copied using assignment, so this is a shallow clone.

func Compact

func Compact[S ~[]E, E comparable](s S) S

Compact replaces consecutive runs of equal elements with a single copy. This is like the uniq command found on Unix. Compact modifies the contents of the slice s; it does not create a new slice. When Compact discards m elements in total, it might not modify the elements s[len(s)-m:len(s)]. If those elements contain pointers you might consider zeroing those elements so that objects they reference can be garbage collected.

func CompactFunc

func CompactFunc[S ~[]E, E any](s S, eq func(E, E) bool) S

CompactFunc is like Compact but uses a comparison function.

func Compare

func Compare[E constraints.Ordered](s1, s2 []E) int

Compare compares the elements of s1 and s2. The elements are compared sequentially, starting at index 0, until one element is not equal to the other. The result of comparing the first non-matching elements is returned. If both slices are equal until one of them ends, the shorter slice is considered less than the longer one. The result is 0 if s1 == s2, -1 if s1 < s2, and +1 if s1 > s2. Comparisons involving floating point NaNs are ignored.

func CompareFunc

func CompareFunc[E1, E2 any](s1 []E1, s2 []E2, cmp func(E1, E2) int) int

CompareFunc is like Compare but uses a comparison function on each pair of elements. The elements are compared in increasing index order, and the comparisons stop after the first time cmp returns non-zero. The result is the first non-zero result of cmp; if cmp always returns 0 the result is 0 if len(s1) == len(s2), -1 if len(s1) < len(s2), and +1 if len(s1) > len(s2).

func Contains

func Contains[E comparable](s []E, v E) bool

Contains reports whether v is present in s.

func ContainsFunc

func ContainsFunc[E any](s []E, f func(E) bool) bool

ContainsFunc reports whether at least one element e of s satisfies f(e).

func Delete

func Delete[S ~[]E, E any](s S, i, j int) S

Delete removes the elements s[i:j] from s, returning the modified slice. Delete panics if s[i:j] is not a valid slice of s. Delete modifies the contents of the slice s; it does not create a new slice. Delete is O(len(s)-j), so if many items must be deleted, it is better to make a single call deleting them all together than to delete one at a time. Delete might not modify the elements s[len(s)-(j-i):len(s)]. If those elements contain pointers you might consider zeroing those elements so that objects they reference can be garbage collected.

func Equal

func Equal[E comparable](s1, s2 []E) bool

Equal reports whether two slices are equal: the same length and all elements equal. If the lengths are different, Equal returns false. Otherwise, the elements are compared in increasing index order, and the comparison stops at the first unequal pair. Floating point NaNs are not considered equal.

func EqualFunc

func EqualFunc[E1, E2 any](s1 []E1, s2 []E2, eq func(E1, E2) bool) bool

EqualFunc reports whether two slices are equal using a comparison function on each pair of elements. If the lengths are different, EqualFunc returns false. Otherwise, the elements are compared in increasing index order, and the comparison stops at the first index for which eq returns false.

func Grow

func Grow[S ~[]E, E any](s S, n int) S

Grow increases the slice's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n elements. After Grow(n), at least n elements can be appended to the slice without another allocation. If n is negative or too large to allocate the memory, Grow panics.

func Index

func Index[E comparable](s []E, v E) int

Index returns the index of the first occurrence of v in s, or -1 if not present.

func IndexFunc

func IndexFunc[E any](s []E, f func(E) bool) int

IndexFunc returns the first index i satisfying f(s[i]), or -1 if none do.

func Insert

func Insert[S ~[]E, E any](s S, i int, v ...E) S

Insert inserts the values v... into s at index i, returning the modified slice. In the returned slice r, r[i] == v[0]. Insert panics if i is out of range. This function is O(len(s) + len(v)).

func IsSorted

func IsSorted[E constraints.Ordered](x []E) bool

IsSorted reports whether x is sorted in ascending order.

func IsSortedFunc

func IsSortedFunc[E any](x []E, less func(a, b E) bool) bool

IsSortedFunc reports whether x is sorted in ascending order, with less as the comparison function.

func Replace

func Replace[S ~[]E, E any](s S, i, j int, v ...E) S

Replace replaces the elements s[i:j] by the given v, and returns the modified slice. Replace panics if s[i:j] is not a valid slice of s.

func Sort

func Sort[E constraints.Ordered](x []E)

Sort sorts a slice of any ordered type in ascending order. Sort may fail to sort correctly when sorting slices of floating-point numbers containing Not-a-number (NaN) values. Use slices.SortFunc(x, func(a, b float64) bool {return a < b || (math.IsNaN(a) && !math.IsNaN(b))}) instead if the input may contain NaNs.

func SortFunc

func SortFunc[E any](x []E, less func(a, b E) bool)

SortFunc sorts the slice x in ascending order as determined by the less function. This sort is not guaranteed to be stable.

SortFunc requires that less is a strict weak ordering. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weak_ordering#Strict_weak_orderings.

func SortStableFunc

func SortStableFunc[E any](x []E, less func(a, b E) bool)

SortStableFunc sorts the slice x while keeping the original order of equal elements, using less to compare elements.
