Overview

A Vector is an ordered, integer-indexed collection of objects. Like Ruby's Array, Vector indexing starts at zero and negative indexes count back from the end.

Vector has a similar interface to Array. The main difference is methods that would destructively update an Array (such as #insert or #delete_at) instead return new Vectors and leave the existing one unchanged.

Creating New Vectors

Hamster::Vector.new([:first, :second, :third])
Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

Retrieving Items from Vectors

vector = Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

vector[0]      # => 1
vector[-1]     # => 5
vector[0,3]    # => Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 3]
vector[1..-1]  # => Hamster::Vector[2, 3, 4, 5]
vector.first   # => 1
vector.last    # => 5

Creating Modified Vectors

vector.add(6)            # => Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6]
vector.insert(1, :a, :b) # => Hamster::Vector[1, :a, :b, 2, 3, 4, 5]
vector.delete_at(2)      # => Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 4, 5]
vector + [6, 7]          # => Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7]

end

Instance Method Details

#*(times) ⇒ Vector

Repetition. Return a new Vector built by concatenating times copies of this one together.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector["A", "B"] * 3
# => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "A", "B", "A", "B"]

Parameters:

  • times (Integer)

    The number of times to repeat the elements in this vector

  return self.class.empty if times == 0
  return self if times == 1
  result = (to_a * times)
  result.is_a?(Array) ? self.class.new(result) : result
end

#+(other) ⇒ Vector Also known as: concat

Return a new Vector built by concatenating this one with other. other can be any object which is convertible to an Array using #to_a.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C"] + ["D", "E"]
# => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", "D", "E"]

Parameters:

  • other (Enumerable)

    The collection to concatenate onto this vector

def +(other)
  other = other.to_a
  other = other.dup if other.frozen?
  replace_suffix(@size, other)
end

#add(item) ⇒ Vector Also known as: <<, push

Return a new Vector with item added after the last occupied position.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector[1, 2].add(99)  # => Hamster::Vector[1, 2, 99]

Parameters:

  • item (Object)

    The object to insert at the end of the vector

Returns:

# File 'lib/hamster/vector.rb', line 134

def add(item)
  update_root(@size, item)
end

#assoc(obj) ⇒ Object

Assumes all elements are nested, indexable collections, and searches through them, comparing obj with the first element of each nested collection. Return the first nested collection which matches, or nil if none is found. Behaviour is undefined when elements do not meet assumptions (i.e. are not indexable collections).

Examples:

v = Hamster::Vector[["A", 10], ["B", 20], ["C", 30]]
v.assoc("B")  # => ["B", 20]

Parameters:

  • obj (Object)

    The object to search for

Returns:

  • (Object)

def assoc(obj)
  each do |array|
    next if !array.respond_to?(:[])
    return array if obj == array[0]
  end
  nil
end

#bsearch {|element| ... } ⇒ Object

Finds a value from this Vector which meets the condition defined by the provided block, using a binary search. The vector must already be sorted with respect to the block. See Ruby's Array#bsearch for details, behaviour is equivalent.

Examples:

v = Hamster::Vector[1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13]
# Block returns true/false for exact element match:
v.bsearch { |e| e > 4 }      # => 5
# Block returns number to match an element in 4 <= e <= 7:
v.bsearch { |e| 1 - e / 4 }  # => 7

Yields:

  • Once for at most log n elements, where n is the size of the vector. The exact elements and ordering are undefined.

Yield Parameters:

  • element (Object)

    element to be evaluated

Yield Returns:

  • (Boolean)

    true if this element matches the criteria, false otherwise.

  • (Integer)

    See Array#bsearch for details.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    The matched element, or nil if none found.

Raises:

  • TypeError if the block returns a non-numeric, non-boolean, non-nil value.

#flatten(level = -1)) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector with all nested vectors and arrays recursively "flattened out". That is, their elements inserted into the new Vector in the place where the nested array/vector originally was. If an optional level argument is provided, the flattening will only be done recursively that number of times. A level of 0 means not to flatten at all, 1 means to only flatten nested arrays/vectors which are directly contained within this Vector.

Examples:

v = Hamster::Vector["A", Hamster::Vector["B", "C", Hamster::Vector["D"]]]
v.flatten(1)
# => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", Hamster::Vector["D"]]
v.flatten
# => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", "D"]

#get(index) ⇒ Object Also known as: at

Retrieve the item at index. If there is none (either the provided index is too high or too low), return nil.

end

#insert(index, *items) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector with the given values inserted before the element at index. If index is greater than the current length, nil values are added to pad the Vector to the required size.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", "D"].insert(2, "X", "Y", "Z")
# => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "X", "Y", "Z", "C", "D"]
Hamster::Vector[].insert(2, "X", "Y", "Z")
# => Hamster::Vector[nil, nil, "X", "Y", "Z"]

Parameters:

  • index (Integer)

    The index where the new items should go

  • items (Array)

    The items to add

Returns:

#rassoc(obj) ⇒ Object

Return the first nested collection which matches, or nil if none is found. Behaviour is undefined when elements do not meet assumptions (i.e. are not indexable collections).

Examples:

Returns:

  • (Array)

#transposeVector

Assume all elements are vectors or arrays and transpose the rows and columns. In other words, take the first element of each nested vector/array and gather them together into a new Vector. Do likewise for the second, third, and so on down to the end of each nested vector/array. Gather all the resulting Vectors into a new Vector and return it.

This operation is closely related to #zip. The result is almost the same as calling #zip on the first nested vector/array with the others supplied as arguments.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector[["A", 10], ["B", 20], ["C", 30]].transpose
# => Hamster::Vector[Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C"], Hamster::Vector[10, 20, 30]]

Returns:

Raises:

  • (IndexError)

    if elements are not of the same size.

  • (TypeError)

    if an element can not be implicitly converted to an array (using #to_ary)

#uniq(&block) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector with no duplicate elements, as determined by #hash and #eql?. For each group of equivalent elements, only the first will be retained.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", "B"].uniq      # => Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C"]
Hamster::Vector["a", "A", "b"].uniq(&:upcase) # => Hamster::Vector["a", "b"]

def uniq(&block)
  array = self.to_a
  return self.class.new(array.uniq(&block).freeze) if array.frozen?
  return self.class.new(array.freeze) if array.uniq!(&block)
  self
end

#unshift(object) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector with object inserted before the first element, moving the other elements upwards.

Examples:

Hamster::Vector["A", "B"].unshift("Z")
# => Hamster::Vector["Z", "A", "B"]

Parameters:

  • object (Object)

    The value to prepend

Returns:

# File 'lib/hamster/vector.rb', line 401

def unshift(object)
  insert(0, object)
end

#values_at(*indices) ⇒ Vector

Return a new Vector with only the elements at the given indices, in the order specified by indices. If any of the indices do not exist, nils will appear in their places.

Examples:

v = Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F"]
v.values_at(2, 4, 5)   # => Hamster::Vector["C", "E", "F"]

Parameters:

  • indices (Array)

    The indices to retrieve and gather into a new Vector

Returns:

def values_at(*indices)
  self.class.new(indices.map { |i| get(i) }.freeze)
end

#zip(*others) ⇒ Vector #zip(*others) {|pair| ... } ⇒ nil

Combine two vectors by "zipping" them together. others should be arrays and/or vectors. The corresponding elements from this Vector and each of others (that is, the elements with the same indices) will be gathered into arrays.

If others contains fewer elements than this vector, nil will be used for padding.

Examples:

v1 = Hamster::Vector["A", "B", "C"]
v2 = Hamster::Vector[1, 2]
v1.zip(v2)
# => Hamster::Vector[["A", 1], ["B", 2], ["C", nil]]

Overloads:

  • #zip(*others) ⇒ Vector

    Return a new vector containing the new arrays.

    Returns:

  • #zip(*others) {|pair| ... } ⇒ nil

    Yields:

    • (pair)

      once for each array

    Returns:

    • (nil)

Parameters:

  • others (Array)

    The arrays/vectors to zip together with this one
