# Documentation

class Ord a => Ix a where Source

The `Ix` class is used to map a contiguous subrange of values in a type onto integers. It is used primarily for array indexing (see the array package).

The first argument `(l,u)` of each of these operations is a pair specifying the lower and upper bounds of a contiguous subrange of values.

An implementation is entitled to assume the following laws about these operations:

- ``inRange` (l,u) i == `elem` i (`range` (l,u))` ``
- ``range` (l,u) `!!` `index` (l,u) i == i`, when ``inRange` (l,u) i`
- ``map` (`index` (l,u)) (`range` (l,u))) == [0..`rangeSize` (l,u)-1]` ``
- ``rangeSize` (l,u) == `length` (`range` (l,u))` ``

Minimal complete instance: `range`, `index` and `inRange`.

Methods

range :: (a, a) -> [a]Source

The list of values in the subrange defined by a bounding pair.

index :: (a, a) -> a -> Int Source

The position of a subscript in the subrange.

inRange :: (a, a) -> a -> Bool Source

Returns `True` the given subscript lies in the range defined the bounding pair.

rangeSize :: (a, a) -> Int Source

The size of the subrange defined by a bounding pair.
