Module Sort: sorting and merging lists |
|
This module is obsolete and exists only for backward compatibility.
The sorting functions in Array
and List
should be used instead.
The new functions are faster and use less memory.
val list : order:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list
Sort a list in increasing order according to an ordering predicate.
The predicate should return true
if its first argument is
less than or equal to its second argument.
val array : order:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a array -> unit
Sort an array in increasing order according to an
ordering predicate.
The predicate should return true
if its first argument is
less than or equal to its second argument.
The array is sorted in place.
val merge : order:('a -> 'a -> bool) -> 'a list -> 'a list -> 'a list
Merge two lists according to the given predicate.
Assuming the two argument lists are sorted according to the
predicate, merge
returns a sorted list containing the elements
from the two lists. The behavior is undefined if the two
argument lists were not sorted.
