Association Lists #
THIS FILE IS SYNCHRONIZED WITH MATHLIB4. Any changes to this file require a corresponding PR to mathlib4.
This file defines association lists. An association list is a list where every element consists of a key and a value, and no two entries have the same key. The type of the value is allowed to be dependent on the type of the key.
This type dependence is implemented using sigma
: The elements of the list are of type sigma β
,
for some type index β
.
Main definitions #
Association lists are represented by the alist
structure. This file defines this structure and
provides ways to access, modify, and combine alist
s.
alist.keys
returns a list of keys of the alist.alist.has_mem
returns membership in the set of keys.alist.erase
removes a certain key.alist.insert
adds a key-value mapping to the list.alist.union
combines two association lists.
References #
alist β
is a key-value map stored as a list
(i.e. a linked list).
It is a wrapper around certain list
functions with the added constraint
that the list have unique keys.
Instances for alist
- alist.has_sizeof_inst
- alist.has_mem
- alist.has_emptyc
- alist.inhabited
- alist.has_union
Equations
- alist.decidable_eq = λ (xs ys : alist β), _.mpr (list.decidable_eq xs.entries ys.entries)
keys #
mem #
empty #
singleton #
lookup #
Look up the value associated to a key in an association list.
Equations
- alist.lookup a s = list.lookup a s.entries
Equations
- alist.has_mem.mem.decidable a s = decidable_of_iff ↥((alist.lookup a s).is_some) _
replace #
Replace a key with a given value in an association list. If the key is not present it does nothing.
Equations
- alist.replace a b s = {entries := list.kreplace a b s.entries, nodupkeys := _}
erase #
Erase a key from the map. If the key is not present, do nothing.
Equations
- alist.erase a s = {entries := list.kerase a s.entries, nodupkeys := _}
insert #
Insert a key-value pair into an association list and erase any existing pair with the same key.
Equations
- alist.insert a b s = {entries := list.kinsert a b s.entries, nodupkeys := _}
Recursion on an alist
, using insert
. Use as induction l using alist.insert_rec
.
extract #
Erase a key from the map, and return the corresponding value, if found.
Equations
- alist.extract a s = have this : (list.kextract a s.entries).snd.nodupkeys, from _, alist.extract._match_1 a (list.kextract a s.entries) this
- alist.extract._match_1 a (b, l) h = (b, {entries := l, nodupkeys := h})
union #
s₁ ∪ s₂
is the key-based union of two association lists. It is
left-biased: if there exists an a ∈ s₁
, lookup a (s₁ ∪ s₂) = lookup a s₁
.
Equations
- alist.has_union = {union := alist.union (λ (a b : α), _inst_1 a b)}
