Invokes the given fun for each item in the collection and returns false if at least one invocation returns false. Otherwise returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.all?([2, 4, 6], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
true

iex> Enum.all?([2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
false

If no function is given, it defaults to checking if all items in the collection evaluate to true.

iex> Enum.all?([1, 2, 3])
true

iex> Enum.all?([1, nil, 3])
false

Invokes the given fun for each item in the collection and returns true if at least one invocation returns true. Returns false otherwise.

Examples

iex> Enum.any?([2, 4, 6], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
false

iex> Enum.any?([2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
true

If no function is given, it defaults to checking if at least one item in the collection evaluates to true.

iex> Enum.any?([false, false, false])
false

iex> Enum.any?([false, true, false])
true

Finds the element at the given index (zero-based).

Returns default if index is out of bounds.

Note this operation takes linear time. In order to access the element at index n, it will need to traverse n previous elements.

Examples

iex> Enum.at([2, 4, 6], 0)
2

iex> Enum.at([2, 4, 6], 2)
6

iex> Enum.at([2, 4, 6], 4)
nil

iex> Enum.at([2, 4, 6], 4, :none)
:none

Shortcut to chunk(coll, n, n).

Returns a collection of lists containing n items each, where each new chunk starts step elements into the collection.

step is optional and, if not passed, defaults to n, i.e. chunks do not overlap. If the final chunk does not have n elements to fill the chunk, elements are taken as necessary from pad if it was passed. If pad is passed and does not have enough elements to fill the chunk, then the chunk is returned anyway with less than n elements. If pad is not passed at all or is nil, then the partial chunk is discarded from the result.

Examples

iex> Enum.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 2)
[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]

iex> Enum.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 2)
[[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5]]

iex> Enum.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 2, [7])
[[1, 2, 3], [3, 4, 5], [5, 6, 7]]

iex> Enum.chunk([1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6], 3, 3, [])
[[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]

Splits coll on every element for which fun returns a new value.

Examples

iex> Enum.chunk_by([1, 2, 2, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 7], &(rem(&1, 2) == 1))
[[1], [2, 2], [3], [4, 4, 6], [7, 7]]

Given an enumerable of enumerables, concatenate the enumerables into a single list.

Examples

iex> Enum.concat([1..3, 4..6, 7..9])
[1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]

iex> Enum.concat([[1, [2], 3], [4], [5, 6]])
[1,[2],3,4,5,6]

Concatenates the enumerable on the right with the enumerable on the left.

This function produces the same result as the Kernel.++/2 operator for lists.

Examples

iex> Enum.concat(1..3, 4..6)
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

iex> Enum.concat([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
[1,2,3,4,5,6]

Returns the collection’s size.

Examples

iex> Enum.count([1, 2, 3])
3

Returns the count of items in the collection for which fun returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.count([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
2

Drops the first count items from collection.

If a negative value count is given, the last count values will be dropped. The collection is enumerated once to retrieve the proper index and the remaining calculation is performed from the end.

Examples

iex> Enum.drop([1, 2, 3], 2)
[3]

iex> Enum.drop([1, 2, 3], 10)
[]

iex> Enum.drop([1, 2, 3], 0)
[1,2,3]

iex> Enum.drop([1, 2, 3], -1)
[1,2]

Drops items at the beginning of collection while fun returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.drop_while([1, 2, 3, 4, 5], fn(x) -> x < 3 end)
[3,4,5]

Invokes the given fun for each item in the collection. Returns :ok.

Examples

Enum.each(["some", "example"], fn(x) -> IO.puts x end)
"some"
"example"
#=> :ok

Returns true if the collection is empty, otherwise false.

Examples

iex> Enum.empty?([])
true

iex> Enum.empty?([1, 2, 3])
false

Finds the element at the given index (zero-based).

Returns {:ok, element} if found, otherwise :error.

A negative index can be passed, which means the collection is enumerated once and the index is counted from the end (i.e. -1 fetches the last element).

Note this operation takes linear time. In order to access the element at index n, it will need to traverse n previous elements.

Examples

iex> Enum.fetch([2, 4, 6], 0)
{:ok, 2}

iex> Enum.fetch([2, 4, 6], 2)
{:ok, 6}

iex> Enum.fetch([2, 4, 6], 4)
:error

Finds the element at the given index (zero-based).

Raises OutOfBoundsError if the given position is outside the range of the collection.

Note this operation takes linear time. In order to access the element at index n, it will need to traverse n previous elements.

Examples

iex> Enum.fetch!([2, 4, 6], 0)
2

iex> Enum.fetch!([2, 4, 6], 2)
6

iex> Enum.fetch!([2, 4, 6], 4)
** (Enum.OutOfBoundsError) out of bounds error

Filters the collection, i.e. returns only those elements for which fun returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.filter([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
[2]

Filters the collection and maps its values in one pass.

Examples

iex> Enum.filter_map([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end, &(&1 * 2))
[4]

Returns the first item for which fun returns a truthy value. If no such item is found, returns ifnone.

Examples

iex> Enum.find([2, 4, 6], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
nil

iex> Enum.find([2, 4, 6], 0, fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
0

iex> Enum.find([2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
3

Similar to find/3, but returns the index (zero-based) of the element instead of the element itself.

Examples

iex> Enum.find_index([2, 4, 6], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
nil

iex> Enum.find_index([2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
1

Similar to find/3, but returns the value of the function invocation instead of the element itself.

Examples

iex> Enum.find_value([2, 4, 6], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
nil

iex> Enum.find_value([2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 1 end)
true

Returns a new collection appending the result of invoking fun on each corresponding item of collection.

The given function should return an enumerable.

Examples

iex> Enum.flat_map([:a, :b, :c], fn(x) -> [x, x] end)
[:a, :a, :b, :b, :c, :c]

iex> Enum.flat_map([{1,3}, {4,6}], fn({x,y}) -> x..y end)
[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]

Maps and reduces a collection, flattening the given results.

It expects an accumulator and a function that receives each stream item and an accumulator, and must return a tuple containing a new stream (often a list) with the new accumulator or a tuple with :halt as first element and the accumulator as second.

Examples

iex> enum = 1..100
iex> n = 3
iex> Enum.flat_map_reduce(enum, 0, fn i, acc ->
...>   if acc < n, do: {[i], acc + 1}, else: {:halt, acc}
...> end)
{[1,2,3], 3}

Splits collection into groups based on fun.

The result is a dict (by default a map) where each key is a group and each value is a list of elements from collection for which fun returned that group. Ordering is not necessarily preserved.

Examples

iex> Enum.group_by(~w{ant buffalo cat dingo}, &String.length/1)
%{3 => ["cat", "ant"], 7 => ["buffalo"], 5 => ["dingo"]}

Intersperses element between each element of the enumeration.

Complexity: O(n)

Examples

iex> Enum.intersperse([1, 2, 3], 0)
[1, 0, 2, 0, 3]

iex> Enum.intersperse([1], 0)
[1]

iex> Enum.intersperse([], 0)
[]

Inserts the given enumerable into a collectable.

Examples

iex> Enum.into([1, 2], [0])
[0, 1, 2]

iex> Enum.into([a: 1, b: 2], %{})
%{a: 1, b: 2}

Inserts the given enumerable into a collectable according to the transformation function.

Examples

iex> Enum.into([2, 3], [3], fn x -> x * 3 end)
[3, 6, 9]

Joins the given collection according to joiner. joiner can be either a binary or a list and the result will be of the same type as joiner. If joiner is not passed at all, it defaults to an empty binary.

All items in the collection must be convertible to a binary, otherwise an error is raised.

Examples

iex> Enum.join([1, 2, 3])
"123"

iex> Enum.join([1, 2, 3], " = ")
"1 = 2 = 3"

Returns a new collection, where each item is the result of invoking fun on each corresponding item of collection.

For dicts, the function expects a key-value tuple.

Examples

iex> Enum.map([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> x * 2 end)
[2, 4, 6]

iex> Enum.map([a: 1, b: 2], fn({k, v}) -> {k, -v} end)
[a: -1, b: -2]

Maps and joins the given collection in one pass. joiner can be either a binary or a list and the result will be of the same type as joiner. If joiner is not passed at all, it defaults to an empty binary.

All items in the collection must be convertible to a binary, otherwise an error is raised.

Examples

iex> Enum.map_join([1, 2, 3], &(&1 * 2))
"246"

iex> Enum.map_join([1, 2, 3], " = ", &(&1 * 2))
"2 = 4 = 6"

Invokes the given fun for each item in the collection while also keeping an accumulator. Returns a tuple where the first element is the mapped collection and the second one is the final accumulator.

For dicts, the first tuple element must be a {key, value} tuple.

Examples

iex> Enum.map_reduce([1, 2, 3], 0, fn(x, acc) -> {x * 2, x + acc} end)
{[2, 4, 6], 6}

Returns the maximum value. Raises EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Examples

iex> Enum.max([1, 2, 3])
3

Returns the maximum value as calculated by the given function. Raises EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Examples

iex> Enum.max_by(["a", "aa", "aaa"], fn(x) -> String.length(x) end)
"aaa"

Checks if value exists within the collection.

Membership is tested with the match (===) operator, although enumerables like ranges may include floats inside the given range.

Examples

iex> Enum.member?(1..10, 5)
true

iex> Enum.member?([:a, :b, :c], :d)
false

Returns the minimum value. Raises EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Examples

iex> Enum.min([1, 2, 3])
1

Returns the minimum value as calculated by the given function. Raises EmptyError if the collection is empty.

Examples

iex> Enum.min_by(["a", "aa", "aaa"], fn(x) -> String.length(x) end)
"a"

Partitions collection into two collections, where the first one contains elements for which fun returns a truthy value, and the second one — for which fun returns false or nil.

Examples

iex> Enum.partition([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
{[2], [1,3]}

Invokes fun for each element in the collection passing that element and the accumulator acc as arguments. fun’s return value is stored in acc. The first element of the collection is used as the initial value of acc. Returns the accumulator.

Examples

iex> Enum.reduce([1, 2, 3, 4], fn(x, acc) -> x * acc end)
24

Invokes fun for each element in the collection passing that element and the accumulator acc as arguments. fun’s return value is stored in acc. Returns the accumulator.

Examples

iex> Enum.reduce([1, 2, 3], 0, fn(x, acc) -> x + acc end)
6

Returns elements of collection for which fun returns false.

Examples

iex> Enum.reject([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> rem(x, 2) == 0 end)
[1, 3]

Reverses the collection.

Examples

iex> Enum.reverse([1, 2, 3])
[3, 2, 1]

Reverses the collection and appends the tail. This is an optimization for Enum.concat(Enum.reverse(collection), tail).

Examples

iex> Enum.reverse([1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6])
[3, 2, 1, 4, 5, 6]

Applies the given function to each element in the collection, storing the result in a list and passing it as the accumulator for the next computation.

Examples

iex> Enum.scan(1..5, &(&1 + &2))
[1,3,6,10,15]

Applies the given function to each element in the collection, storing the result in a list and passing it as the accumulator for the next computation. Uses the given acc as the starting value.

Examples

iex> Enum.scan(1..5, 0, &(&1 + &2))
[1,3,6,10,15]

Returns a list of collection elements shuffled.

Notice that you need to explicitly call :random.seed/1 and set a seed value for the random algorithm. Otherwise, the default seed will be set which will always return the same result. For example, one could do the following to set a seed dynamically:

:random.seed(:os.timestamp)

Examples

iex> Enum.shuffle([1, 2, 3])
[3, 2, 1]
iex> Enum.shuffle([1, 2, 3])
[3, 1, 2]

Returns a subset list of the given collection. Drops elements until element position range.first, then takes elements until element position range.last (inclusive).

Positions are calculated by adding the number of items in the collection to negative positions (so position -3 in a collection with count 5 becomes position 2).

The first position (after adding count to negative positions) must be smaller or equal to the last position.

If the start of the range is not a valid offset for the given collection or if the range is in reverse order, returns [].

Examples

iex> Enum.slice(1..100, 5..10)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]

iex> Enum.slice(1..10, 5..20)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

iex> Enum.slice(1..10, 11..20)
[]

iex> Enum.slice(1..10, 6..5)
[]

Returns a subset list of the given collection. Drops elements until element position start, then takes count elements.

If the count is greater than collection length, it returns as much as possible. If zero, then it returns [].

Examples

iex> Enum.slice(1..100, 5, 10)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15]

iex> Enum.slice(1..10, 5, 100)
[6, 7, 8, 9, 10]

iex> Enum.slice(1..10, 5, 0)
[]

Sorts the collection according to Elixir’s term ordering.

Uses the merge sort algorithm.

Examples

iex> Enum.sort([3, 2, 1])
[1, 2, 3]

Sorts the collection by the given function.

This function uses the merge sort algorithm. The given function must return false if the first argument is less than right one.

Examples

iex> Enum.sort([1, 2, 3], &(&1 > &2))
[3, 2, 1]

The sorting algorithm will be stable as long as the given function returns true for values considered equal:

iex> Enum.sort ["some", "kind", "of", "monster"], &(byte_size(&1) <= byte_size(&2))
["of", "some", "kind", "monster"]

If the function does not return true, the sorting is not stable and the order of equal terms may be shuffled:

iex> Enum.sort ["some", "kind", "of", "monster"], &(byte_size(&1) < byte_size(&2))
["of", "kind", "some", "monster"]

Sorts the mapped results of the collection according to the sorter function.

This function maps each element of the collection using the mapper function. The collection is then sorted by the mapped elements using the sorter function, which defaults to <=/2

sort_by/3 differs from sort/2 in that it only calculates the comparison value for each element in the collection once instead of once for each element in each comparison. If the same function is being called on both element, it’s also more compact to use sort_by/3.

This technique is also known as a Schwartzian Transform, or the Lisp decorate-sort-undecorate idiom as the mapper is decorating the original collection, then sorter is sorting the decorations, and finally the collection is being undecorated so only the original elements remain, but now in sorted order.

Examples

Using the default sorter of <=/2:

iex> Enum.sort_by ["some", "kind", "of", "monster"], &byte_size/1
["of", "some", "kind", "monster"]

Using a custom sorter to override the order:

iex> Enum.sort_by ["some", "kind", "of", "monster"], &byte_size/1, &>=/2
["monster", "some", "kind", "of"]

Splits the enumerable into two collections, leaving count elements in the first one. If count is a negative number, it starts counting from the back to the beginning of the collection.

Be aware that a negative count implies the collection will be enumerated twice: once to calculate the position, and a second time to do the actual splitting.

Examples

iex> Enum.split([1, 2, 3], 2)
{[1,2], [3]}

iex> Enum.split([1, 2, 3], 10)
{[1,2,3], []}

iex> Enum.split([1, 2, 3], 0)
{[], [1,2,3]}

iex> Enum.split([1, 2, 3], -1)
{[1,2], [3]}

iex> Enum.split([1, 2, 3], -5)
{[], [1,2,3]}

Splits collection in two while fun returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.split_while([1, 2, 3, 4], fn(x) -> x < 3 end)
{[1, 2], [3, 4]}

Returns the sum of all values.

Raises ArithmeticError if collection contains a non-numeric value.

Examples

iex> Enum.sum([1, 2, 3])
6

Takes the first count items from the collection.

If a negative count is given, the last count values will be taken. For such, the collection is fully enumerated keeping up to 2 * count elements in memory. Once the end of the collection is reached, the last count elements are returned.

Examples

iex> Enum.take([1, 2, 3], 2)
[1,2]

iex> Enum.take([1, 2, 3], 10)
[1,2,3]

iex> Enum.take([1, 2, 3], 0)
[]

iex> Enum.take([1, 2, 3], -1)
[3]

Returns a collection of every nth item in the collection, starting with the first element.

Examples

iex> Enum.take_every(1..10, 2)
[1, 3, 5, 7, 9]

Takes the items at the beginning of collection while fun returns true.

Examples

iex> Enum.take_while([1, 2, 3], fn(x) -> x < 3 end)
[1, 2]

Convert collection to a list.

Examples

iex> Enum.to_list(1 .. 3)
[1, 2, 3]

Enumerates the collection, removing all duplicated items.

Examples

iex> Enum.uniq([1, 2, 3, 2, 1])
[1, 2, 3]

iex> Enum.uniq([{1, :x}, {2, :y}, {1, :z}], fn {x, _} -> x end)
[{1,:x}, {2,:y}]

Returns the collection with each element wrapped in a tuple alongside its index.

Examples

iex> Enum.with_index [1,2,3]
[{1,0},{2,1},{3,2}]

Zips corresponding elements from two collections into one list of tuples.

The zipping finishes as soon as any enumerable completes.

Examples

iex> Enum.zip([1, 2, 3], [:a, :b, :c])
[{1,:a},{2,:b},{3,:c}]

iex> Enum.zip([1,2,3,4,5], [:a, :b, :c])
[{1,:a},{2,:b},{3,:c}]
