-- | Compatibility with Haskell 98
--   
--   This package provides compatibility with the modules of Haskell 98 and
--   the FFI addendum, by means of wrappers around modules from the base
--   package (which in many cases have additional features). However
--   Prelude, Numeric and Foreign are provided directly by the base
--   package.

--   equality test.
nub :: Eq a => [a] -> [a]

--   Duplicates, and elements of the first list, are removed from the the

intersectBy :: (a -> a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] -> [a]

-- | The <a>intersperse</a> function takes an element and a list and

-- | The <a>group</a> function takes a list and returns a list of lists
--   such that the concatenation of the result is equal to the argument.

--   finite.
isSuffixOf :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Bool

-- | The <a>mapAccumL</a> function behaves like a combination of <a>map</a>

mapAccumL :: (acc -> x -> (acc, y)) -> acc -> [x] -> (acc, [y])

mapAccumR :: (acc -> x -> (acc, y)) -> acc -> [x] -> (acc, [y])

-- | The <a>sort</a> function implements a stable sorting algorithm. It is

--   or equal to the next element. In particular, if the list is sorted
--   before the call, the result will also be sorted. It is a special case
--   of <a>insertBy</a>, which allows the programmer to supply their own
--   comparison function.

--   
--   A program that fails in any other way is treated as if it had called

module IO

-- | Haskell defines operations to read and write characters from and to
--   files, represented by values of type <tt>Handle</tt>. Each value of
--   this type is a <i>handle</i>: a record used by the Haskell run-time
--   system to <i>manage</i> I/O with file system objects. A handle has at
--   least the following properties:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>whether it manages input or output or both;</li>
--   <li>whether it is <i>open</i>, <i>closed</i> or
--   <i>semi-closed</i>;</li>
--   <li>whether the object is seekable;</li>
--   <li>whether buffering is disabled, or enabled on a line or block
--   basis;</li>
--   <li>a buffer (whose length may be zero).</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Most handles will also have a current I/O position indicating where
--   the next input or output operation will occur. A handle is
--   <i>readable</i> if it manages only input or both input and output;
--   likewise, it is <i>writable</i> if it manages only output or both
--   input and output. A handle is <i>open</i> when first allocated. Once
--   it is closed it can no longer be used for either input or output,
--   though an implementation cannot re-use its storage while references
--   remain to it. Handles are in the <a>Show</a> and <a>Eq</a> classes.
--   The string produced by showing a handle is system dependent; it should
--   include enough information to identify the handle for debugging. A
--   handle is equal according to <a>==</a> only to itself; no attempt is
--   made to compare the internal state of different handles for equality.

-- | Three kinds of buffering are supported: line-buffering,
--   block-buffering or no-buffering. These modes have the following
--   effects. For output, items are written out, or <i>flushed</i>, from
--   the internal buffer according to the buffer mode:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><i>line-buffering</i>: the entire output buffer is flushed
--   whenever a newline is output, the buffer overflows, a
--   <tt>System.IO.hFlush</tt> is issued, or the handle is closed.</li>
--   <li><i>block-buffering</i>: the entire buffer is written out whenever
--   it overflows, a <tt>System.IO.hFlush</tt> is issued, or the handle is
--   closed.</li>
--   <li><i>no-buffering</i>: output is written immediately, and never
--   stored in the buffer.</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   An implementation is free to flush the buffer more frequently, but not
--   less frequently, than specified above. The output buffer is emptied as
--   soon as it has been written out.
--   
--   Similarly, input occurs according to the buffer mode for the handle:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><i>line-buffering</i>: when the buffer for the handle is not
--   empty, the next item is obtained from the buffer; otherwise, when the
--   buffer is empty, characters up to and including the next newline
--   character are read into the buffer. No characters are available until
--   the newline character is available or the buffer is full.</li>
--   <li><i>block-buffering</i>: when the buffer for the handle becomes

module Int

module Ix

-- | The <a>Ix</a> class is used to map a contiguous subrange of values in
--   a type onto integers. It is used primarily for array indexing (see the
--   array package).
--   
--   The first argument <tt>(l,u)</tt> of each of these operations is a
--   pair specifying the lower and upper bounds of a contiguous subrange of
--   values.
--   
--   An implementation is entitled to assume the following laws about these
--   operations:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><tt><a>inRange</a> (l,u) i == <a>elem</a> i (<a>range</a>
--   (l,u))</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>range</a> (l,u) <a>!!</a> <a>index</a> (l,u) i == i</tt>,
--   when <tt><a>inRange</a> (l,u) i</tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>map</a> (<a>index</a> (l,u)) (<a>range</a> (l,u))) ==
--   [0..<a>rangeSize</a> (l,u)-1]</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>rangeSize</a> (l,u) == <a>length</a> (<a>range</a>
--   (l,u))</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Minimal complete instance: <a>range</a>, <a>index</a> and
--   <a>inRange</a>.
class Ord a => Ix a
range :: Ix a => (a, a) -> [a]
index :: Ix a => (a, a) -> a -> Int
inRange :: Ix a => (a, a) -> a -> Bool
rangeSize :: Ix a => (a, a) -> Int

module Array

-- | The type of immutable non-strict (boxed) arrays with indices in
--   <tt>i</tt> and elements in <tt>e</tt>.
data Ix i => Array i e :: * -> * -> *

-- | Construct an array with the specified bounds and containing values for
--   given indices within these bounds.
--   
--   The array is undefined (i.e. bottom) if any index in the list is out
--   of bounds. The Haskell 98 Report further specifies that if any two
--   associations in the list have the same index, the value at that index
--   is undefined (i.e. bottom). However in GHC's implementation, the value
--   at such an index is the value part of the last association with that
--   index in the list.
--   
--   Because the indices must be checked for these errors, <a>array</a> is
--   strict in the bounds argument and in the indices of the association
--   list, but non-strict in the values. Thus, recurrences such as the
--   following are possible:
--   
--   <pre>
--   a = array (1,100) ((1,1) : [(i, i * a!(i-1)) | i &lt;- [2..100]])
--   </pre>
--   
--   Not every index within the bounds of the array need appear in the
--   association list, but the values associated with indices that do not
--   appear will be undefined (i.e. bottom).
--   
--   If, in any dimension, the lower bound is greater than the upper bound,
--   then the array is legal, but empty. Indexing an empty array always
--   gives an array-bounds error, but <a>bounds</a> still yields the bounds
--   with which the array was constructed.
array :: Ix i => (i, i) -> [(i, e)] -> Array i e

-- | Construct an array from a pair of bounds and a list of values in index
--   order.
listArray :: Ix i => (i, i) -> [e] -> Array i e

-- | The value at the given index in an array.
(!) :: Ix i => Array i e -> i -> e

-- | The bounds with which an array was constructed.
bounds :: Ix i => Array i e -> (i, i)

-- | The list of indices of an array in ascending order.
indices :: Ix i => Array i e -> [i]

-- | The list of elements of an array in index order.
elems :: Ix i => Array i e -> [e]

-- | The list of associations of an array in index order.
assocs :: Ix i => Array i e -> [(i, e)]

-- | The <a>accumArray</a> function deals with repeated indices in the
--   association list using an <i>accumulating function</i> which combines
--   the values of associations with the same index. For example, given a
--   list of values of some index type, <tt>hist</tt> produces a histogram
--   of the number of occurrences of each index within a specified range:
--   
--   <pre>
--   hist :: (Ix a, Num b) =&gt; (a,a) -&gt; [a] -&gt; Array a b
--   hist bnds is = accumArray (+) 0 bnds [(i, 1) | i&lt;-is, inRange bnds i]
--   </pre>
--   
--   If the accumulating function is strict, then <a>accumArray</a> is
--   strict in the values, as well as the indices, in the association list.
--   Thus, unlike ordinary arrays built with <a>array</a>, accumulated
--   arrays should not in general be recursive.
accumArray :: Ix i => (e -> a -> e) -> e -> (i, i) -> [(i, a)] -> Array i e

-- | Constructs an array identical to the first argument except that it has
--   been updated by the associations in the right argument. For example,
--   if <tt>m</tt> is a 1-origin, <tt>n</tt> by <tt>n</tt> matrix, then
--   
--   <pre>
--   m//[((i,i), 0) | i &lt;- [1..n]]
--   </pre>
--   
--   is the same matrix, except with the diagonal zeroed.
--   
--   Repeated indices in the association list are handled as for
--   <a>array</a>: Haskell 98 specifies that the resulting array is
--   undefined (i.e. bottom), but GHC's implementation uses the last
--   association for each index.
(//) :: Ix i => Array i e -> [(i, e)] -> Array i e

-- | <tt><a>accum</a> f</tt> takes an array and an association list and
--   accumulates pairs from the list into the array with the accumulating
--   function <tt>f</tt>. Thus <a>accumArray</a> can be defined using
--   <a>accum</a>:
--   
--   <pre>
--   accumArray f z b = accum f (array b [(i, z) | i &lt;- range b])
--   </pre>
accum :: Ix i => (e -> a -> e) -> Array i e -> [(i, a)] -> Array i e

-- | <a>ixmap</a> allows for transformations on array indices. It may be
--   thought of as providing function composition on the right with the
--   mapping that the original array embodies.
--   
--   A similar transformation of array values may be achieved using
--   <a>fmap</a> from the <a>Array</a> instance of the <a>Functor</a>
--   class.
