More...
 
constexpr auto concat
 Combine two monadic structures together.Given two monadic structures, concat combines them together and returns a new monadic structure. The exact definition of concat will depend on the exact model of MonadPlus at hand, but for sequences it corresponds intuitively to simple concatenation. More...
 
constexpr auto contains
 Returns whether the key occurs in the structure.Given a Searchable structure xs and a key, contains returns whether any of the keys of the structure is equal to the given key. If the structure is not finite, an equal key has to appear at a finite position in the structure for this method to finish. For convenience, contains can also be applied in infix notation. More...

If the iterable is not finite, the predicate has to return a false- valued Logical at a finite index for this method to return. More...
 
constexpr auto duplicate

This is a generalization of the usual filter function for sequences; it works for any MonadPlus. Intuitively, filter is somewhat equivalent to: More...
 
constexpr auto find
 Finds the value associated to the given key in a structure.Given a key and a Searchable structure, find returns the just the first value whose key is equal to the given key, or nothing if there is no such key. Comparison is done with equal. find satisfies the following: More...
 
constexpr auto find_if
 Finds the value associated to the first key satisfying a predicate.Given a Searchable structure xs and a predicate pred, find_if(xs, pred) returns just the first element whose key satisfies the predicate, or nothing if there is no such element. More...
 
constexpr auto first
 Returns the first element of a pair.Note that if the Product actually stores the elements it contains, hana::first is required to return a lvalue reference, a lvalue reference to const or a rvalue reference to the first element, where the type of reference must match that of the pair passed to first. If the Product does not store the elements it contains (i.e. it generates them on demand), this requirement is dropped. More...
 
constexpr auto flatten
 Collapse two levels of monadic structure into a single level.Given a monadic value wrapped into two levels of monad, flatten removes one such level. An implementation of flatten must satisfy. More...
 
constexpr auto fold = fold_left
 Equivalent to fold_left; provided for convenience.fold is equivalent to fold_left. However, it is not tag-dispatched on its own because it is just an alias to fold_left. Also note that fold can be called with or without an initial state, just like fold_left: More...
 
constexpr auto fold_left

constexpr auto for_each

constexpr auto front
 Returns the first element of a non-empty iterable.Given a non-empty Iterable xs with a linearization of [x1, ..., xN], front(xs) is equal to x1. If xs is empty, it is an error to use this function. Equivalently, front(xs) must be equivalent to at_c<0>(xs), and that regardless of the value category of xs (front must respect the reference semantics of at). More...

constexpr auto group
 Group adjacent elements of a sequence that all respect a binary predicate, by default equality.Given a finite Sequence and an optional predicate (by default equal), group returns a sequence of subsequences representing groups of adjacent elements that are "equal" with respect to the predicate. In other words, the groups are such that the predicate is satisfied when it is applied to any two adjacent elements in that group. The sequence returned by group is such that the concatenation of its elements is equal to the original sequence, which is equivalent to saying that the order of the elements is not changed. More...
 
constexpr auto hash
 Returns a hana::type representing the compile-time hash of an object.Given an arbitrary object x, hana::hash returns a hana::type representing the hash of x. In normal programming, hashes are usually numerical values that can be used e.g. as indices in an array as part of the implementation of a hash table. In the context of metaprogramming, we are interested in type-level hashes instead. Thus, hana::hash must return a hana::type object instead of an integer. This hana::type must somehow summarize the object being hashed, but that summary may of course lose some information. More...
 
constexpr auto if_
 Conditionally return one of two values based on a condition.Specifically, then is returned iff cond is true-valued, and else_ is returned otherwise. Note that some Logical models may allow then and else_ to have different types, while others may require both values to have the same type. More...
 
constexpr auto index_if
 Finds the value associated to the first key satisfying a predicate.Given an Iterable structure xs and a predicate pred, index_if(xs, pred) returns a hana::optional containing an IntegralConstant of the index of the first element that satisfies the predicate or nothing if no element satisfies the predicate.

In other words, it inserts the z element between every pair of elements of the original sequence. If the sequence is empty or has a single element, intersperse returns the sequence as-is. In all cases, the sequence must be finite. More...
 
constexpr auto is_disjoint
 Returns whether two Searchables are disjoint.Given two Searchables xs and ys, is_disjoint returns a Logical representing whether the keys in xs are disjoint from the keys in ys, i.e. whether both structures have no keys in common. More...
 
constexpr auto is_empty
 Returns whether the iterable is empty.Given an Iterable xs, is_empty returns whether xs contains no more elements. In other words, it returns whether trying to extract the tail of xs would be an error. In the current version of the library, is_empty must return an IntegralConstant holding a value convertible to bool. This is because only compile-time Iterables are supported right now. More...
 
constexpr auto is_subset
 Returns whether a structure contains a subset of the keys of another structure.Given two Searchables xs and ys, is_subset returns a Logical representing whether xs is a subset of ys. In other words, it returns whether all the keys of xs are also present in ys. This method does not return whether xs is a strict subset of ys; if xs and ys are equal, all the keys of xs are also present in ys, and is_subset returns true. More...
 
constexpr keys_t keys {}

 Returns a Logical representing whether x is less than y. More...
 
constexpr auto less_equal
 Returns a Logical representing whether x is less than or equal to y. More...
 
constexpr auto lexicographical_compare
 Short-circuiting lexicographical comparison of two Iterables with an optional custom predicate, by default hana::less.Given two Iterables xs and ys and a binary predicate pred, lexicographical_compare returns whether xs is to be considered less than ys in a lexicographical ordering. Specifically, let's denote the linearizations of xs and ys by [x1, x2, ...] and [y1, y2, ...], respectively. If the first couple satisfying the predicate is of the form xi, yi, lexicographical_compare returns true. Otherwise, if the first couple to satisfy the predicate is of the form yi, xi, lexicographical_compare returns false. If no such couple can be found, lexicographical_compare returns whether xs has fewer elements than ys. More...
 
template<typename A >
constexpr auto lift

constexpr auto product = see documentation
 Compute the product of the numbers of a structure.More generally, product will take any foldable structure containing objects forming a Ring and reduce them using the Ring's binary operation. The initial state for folding is the identity of the Ring's operation. It is sometimes necessary to specify the Ring to use; this is possible by using product<R>. If no Ring is specified, the structure will use the Ring formed by the elements it contains (if it knows it), or integral_constant_tag<int> otherwise. Hence,. More...
 
constexpr auto remove
 Remove all the elements of a monadic structure that are equal to some value.Given a monadic structure xs and a value, remove returns a new monadic structure equal to xs without all its elements that are equal to the given value. remove is equivalent to remove_if with the equal.to(value) predicate, i.e. More...
 
constexpr auto remove_at
 Remove the element at a given index from a sequence.remove_at returns a new sequence identical to the original, except that the element at the given index is removed. Specifically, remove_at([x0, ..., xn-1, xn, xn+1, ..., xm], n) is a new sequence equivalent to [x0, ..., xn-1, xn+1, ..., xm]. More...

constexpr auto remove_at_c
 Equivalent to remove_at; provided for convenience. More...
 
constexpr auto remove_if
 Remove all the elements of a monadic structure that satisfy some predicate.Given a monadic structure xs and a unary predicate, remove_if returns a new monadic structure equal to xs without all its elements that satisfy the predicate. This is equivalent to filter with a negated predicate, i.e. More...
 
constexpr auto remove_range
 Remove the elements inside a given range of indices from a sequence.remove_range returns a new sequence identical to the original, except that elements at indices in the provided range are removed. Specifically, remove_range([x0, ..., xn], from, to) is a new sequence equivalent to [x0, ..., x_from-1, x_to, ..., xn]. More...
 
template<std::size_t from, std::size_t to>
constexpr auto remove_range_c
 Equivalent to remove_range; provided for convenience. More...
 
constexpr auto repeat
 Invokes a nullary function n times.Given an IntegralConstant n and a nullary function f, repeat(n, f) will call f n times. In particular, any decent compiler should expand repeat(n, f) to. More...

constexpr auto replace_if
 Replace all the elements of a structure satisfying a predicate with a fixed value. More...
 
template<typename M >
constexpr auto replicate
 Create a monadic structure by combining a lifted value with itself n times.Given a value x, a non-negative IntegralConstant n and the tag of a monadic structure M, replicate creates a new monadic structure which is the result of combining x with itself n times inside the monadic structure. In other words, replicate simply lifts x into the monadic structure, and then combines that with itself n times: More...
 
constexpr auto reverse
 Reverse a sequence.Specifically, reverse(xs) is a new sequence containing the same elements as xs, except in reverse order. More...
 
constexpr auto reverse_fold
 Equivalent to reverse_fold in Boost.Fusion and Boost.MPL.This method has the same semantics as reverse_fold in Boost.Fusion and Boost.MPL, with the extension that an initial state is not required. This method is equivalent to fold_right, except that the accumulating function must take its arguments in reverse order, to match the order used in Fusion. In other words,. More...
 
constexpr auto scan_left
 Fold a Sequence to the left and return a list containing the successive reduction states.Like fold_left, scan_left reduces a sequence to a single value using a binary operation. However, unlike fold_left, it builds up a sequence of the intermediary results computed along the way and returns that instead of only the final reduction state. Like fold_left, scan_left can be used with or without an initial reduction state. More...
 
constexpr auto scan_right
 Fold a Sequence to the right and return a list containing the successive reduction states.Like fold_right, scan_right reduces a sequence to a single value using a binary operation. However, unlike fold_right, it builds up a sequence of the intermediary results computed along the way and returns that instead of only the final reduction state. Like fold_right, scan_right can be used with or without an initial reduction state. More...
 
constexpr auto second
 Returns the second element of a pair.Note that if the Product actually stores the elements it contains, hana::second is required to return a lvalue reference, a lvalue reference to const or a rvalue reference to the second element, where the type of reference must match that of the pair passed to second. If the Product does not store the elements it contains (i.e. it generates them on demand), this requirement is dropped. More...
 
constexpr auto size = hana::length
 Equivalent to length; provided for consistency with the standard library.This method is an alias to length provided for convenience and consistency with the standard library. As an alias, size is not tag-dispatched on its own and length should be customized instead. More...
 
constexpr auto slice
 Extract the elements of a Sequence at the given indices.Given an arbitrary sequence of indices, slice returns a new sequence of the elements of the original sequence that appear at those indices. In other words,. More...
 
template<std::size_t from, std::size_t to>
constexpr auto slice_c
 Shorthand to slice a contiguous range of elements.slice_c is simply a shorthand to slice a contiguous range of elements. In particular, slice_c<from, to>(xs) is equivalent to slice(xs, range_c<std::size_t, from, to>), which simply slices all the elements of xs contained in the half-open interval delimited by [from, to). Like for slice, the indices used with slice_c are 0-based and they must be in the bounds of the sequence being sliced. More...
 
constexpr auto sort
 Sort a sequence, optionally based on a custom predicate.Given a Sequence and an optional predicate (by default less), sort returns a new sequence containing the same elements as the original, except they are ordered in such a way that if x comes before y in the sequence, then either predicate(x, y) is true, or both predicate(x, y) and predicate(y, x) are false. More...
 
constexpr auto span
 Returns a Product containing the longest prefix of a sequence satisfying a predicate, and the rest of the sequence.The first component of the returned Product is a sequence for which all elements satisfy the given predicate. The second component of the returned Product is a sequence containing the remainder of the argument. Both or either sequences may be empty, depending on the input argument. More specifically,. More...
 
constexpr auto suffix
 Inserts a value after each element of a monadic structure.Given a monadic structure xs and a value z (called the suffix), suffix returns a new monadic structure such that. More...
 
constexpr auto sum = see documentation
 Compute the sum of the numbers of a structure.More generally, sum will take any foldable structure containing objects forming a Monoid and reduce them using the Monoid's binary operation. The initial state for folding is the identity of the Monoid. It is sometimes necessary to specify the Monoid to use; this is possible by using sum<M>. If no Monoid is specified, the structure will use the Monoid formed by the elements it contains (if it knows it), or integral_constant_tag<int> otherwise. Hence,. More...
 
constexpr auto take_back
 Returns the last n elements of a sequence, or the whole sequence if the sequence has less than n elements.Given a Sequence xs and an IntegralConstant n, take_back(xs, n) is a new sequence containing the last n elements of xs, in the same order. If length(xs) <= n, the whole sequence is returned and no error is triggered. More...
 
template<std::size_t n>
constexpr auto take_back_c
 Equivalent to take_back; provided for convenience. More...
 
constexpr auto take_front
 Returns the first n elements of a sequence, or the whole sequence if the sequence has less than n elements.Given a Sequence xs and an IntegralConstant n, take_front(xs, n) is a new sequence containing the first n elements of xs, in the same order. If length(xs) <= n, the whole sequence is returned and no error is triggered. More...
 
template<std::size_t n>
constexpr auto take_front_c
 Equivalent to take_front; provided for convenience. More...
 
constexpr auto take_while
 Take elements from a sequence while the predicate is satisfied.Specifically, take_while returns a new sequence containing the longest prefix of xs in which all the elements satisfy the given predicate. More...
 
template<typename M >
constexpr auto tap
 Tap inside a monadic chain.Given a function f, tap<M> returns a new function which performs f on its argument and then returns the argument lifted in the M Monad. Combined with the property that chain(m, lift<M>) == m, this provides a way of executing an action inside a monadic chain without influencing its overall result. This is useful to e.g. insert debug statements or perform actions that are not tied to the chain but that need to be executed inside of it. More...
 
constexpr auto then
 Sequentially compose two monadic actions, discarding any value produced by the first but not its effects. More...
 
constexpr auto transform
 Map a function over a Functor. More...

 Alias to integral(metafunction<F>), provided for convenience. More...
 
template<typename S >
constexpr auto unfold_left

template<typename S >
constexpr auto unfold_right
 Dual operation to fold_right for sequences.While fold_right reduces a structure to a summary value from the right, unfold_right builds a sequence from a seed value and a function, starting from the right. More...
 
constexpr auto unique
 Removes all consecutive duplicate elements from a Sequence.Given a Sequence and an optional binary predicate, unique returns a new sequence containing only the first element of every subrange of the original sequence whose elements are all equal. In other words, it turns a sequence of the form [a, a, b, c, c, c, d, d, d, a] into a sequence [a, b, c, d, a]. The equality of two elements is determined by the provided predicate, or by equal if no predicate is provided. More...
 
constexpr auto unpack
 Invoke a function with the elements of a Foldable as arguments.Given a function and a foldable structure whose length can be known at compile-time, unpack invokes the function with the contents of that structure. In other words, unpack(xs, f) is equivalent to f(x...), where x... are the elements of the structure. The length of the structure must be known at compile-time, because the version of f's operator() that will be compiled depends on the number of arguments it is called with, which has to be known at compile-time. More...
 
template<typename T >
constexpr auto value
 Return the compile-time value associated to a constant.This function returns the value associated to a Constant. That value is always a constant expression. The normal way of using value on an object c is. More...
 
constexpr auto value_of
 Equivalent to value, but can be passed to higher-order algorithms.This function object is equivalent to value, except it can be passed to higher order algorithms because it is a function object. value can't be passed to higher-order algorithms because it is implemented as an overloaded function. More...
 
constexpr auto while_
 Apply a function to an initial state while some predicate is satisfied.This method is a natural extension of the while language construct to manipulate a state whose type may change from one iteration to another. However, note that having a state whose type changes from one iteration to the other is only possible as long as the predicate returns a Logical whose truth value is known at compile-time. More...
 
template<typename M >
constexpr auto zero
 Identity of plus. More...
 
constexpr auto zip
 Zip one sequence or more.Given n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip produces a sequence whose i-th element is a tuple of (s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip produces a sequence of the form. More...

 Zip one sequence or more.Given n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip_shortest produces a sequence whose i-th element is a tuple of (s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip_shortest produces a sequence of the form. More...
 
constexpr auto zip_shortest_with
 Zip one sequence or more with a given function.Given a n-ary function f and n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip_shortest_with produces a sequence whose i-th element is f(s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip_shortest_with produces a sequence of the form. More...
 
constexpr auto zip_with
 Zip one sequence or more with a given function.Given a n-ary function f and n sequences s1, ..., sn, zip_with produces a sequence whose i-th element is f(s1[i], ..., sn[i]), where sk[i] denotes the i-th element of the k-th sequence. In other words, zip_with produces a sequence of the form. More...

◆ repeat

constexpr auto boost::hana::repeat
Initial value:
= [](auto const& n, auto&& f) -> void {
f(); f(); ... f();
}

Invokes a nullary function n times.Given an IntegralConstant n and a nullary function f, repeat(n, f) will call f n times. In particular, any decent compiler should expand repeat(n, f) to.

f(); f(); ... f(); // n times total
Parameters
nAn IntegralConstant holding a non-negative value representing the number of times f should be repeatedly invoked.
fA function to repeatedly invoke n times. f is allowed to have side effects.
