(** {1 Random-Access Lists} *)
(** This is an OCaml implementation of Okasaki's paper
"Purely Functional Random Access Lists". It defines a list-like data
structure with O(1) cons/tail operations, and O(log(n)) lookup/modification
operations.
*)
type +'a t
(** List containing elements of type 'a *)
val empty : 'a t
(** Empty list *)
val is_empty : _ t -> bool
(** Check whether the list is empty *)
val cons : 'a -> 'a t -> 'a t
(** Add an element at the front of the list *)
val hd : 'a t -> 'a
(** First element of the list, or @raise Invalid_argument if the list is empty *)
val tl : 'a t -> 'a t
(** Remove the first element from the list,
or @raise Invalid_argument if the list is empty *)
val length : 'a t -> int
(** Number of elements *)
val get : 'a t -> int -> 'a
(** [get l i] accesses the [i]-th element of the list. O(log(n)).
@raise Invalid_argument if the list has less than [i+1] elements. *)
val set : 'a t -> int -> 'a -> 'a t
(** [set l i v] sets the [i]-th element of the list to [v]. O(log(n)).
@raise Invalid_argument if the list has less than [i+1] elements. *)
