Collections and Data Structures
is translated into:
next = iterate(iter)
while next !== nothing
(i, state) = next
# body
next = iterate(iter, state)
end
The state
object may be anything, and should be chosen appropriately for each iterable type. See the for more details about defining a custom iterable type.
Base.iterate — Function
iterate(iter [, state]) -> Union{Nothing, Tuple{Any, Any}}
Advance the iterator to obtain the next element. If no elements remain, nothing
should be returned. Otherwise, a 2-tuple of the next element and the new iteration state should be returned.
Base.IteratorSize — Type
IteratorSize(itertype::Type) -> IteratorSize
Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:
SizeUnknown()
if the length (number of elements) cannot be determined in advance.HasLength()
if there is a fixed, finite length.HasShape{N}()
if there is a known length plus a notion of multidimensional shape (as for an array). In this caseN
should give the number of dimensions, and the function is valid for the iterator.IsInfinite()
if the iterator yields values forever.
The default value (for iterators that do not define this function) is HasLength()
. This means that most iterators are assumed to implement length.
This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate space for their result, and algorithms that resize their result incrementally.
julia> Base.IteratorSize(1:5)
Base.HasShape{1}()
julia> Base.IteratorSize((2,3))
Base.HasLength()
Base.IteratorEltype — Type
IteratorEltype(itertype::Type) -> IteratorEltype
Given the type of an iterator, return one of the following values:
EltypeUnknown()
if the type of elements yielded by the iterator is not known in advance.HasEltype()
if the element type is known, and would return a meaningful value.
HasEltype()
is the default, since iterators are assumed to implement eltype.
This trait is generally used to select between algorithms that pre-allocate a specific type of result, and algorithms that pick a result type based on the types of yielded values.

Base.AbstractRange — Type
AbstractRange{T}
Supertype for ranges with elements of type T
. and other types are subtypes of this.
— Type
OrdinalRange{T, S} <: AbstractRange{T}
Supertype for ordinal ranges with elements of type T
with spacing(s) of type S
. The steps should be always-exact multiples of oneunit, and T
should be a “discrete” type, which cannot have values smaller than oneunit
. For example, Integer
or Date
types would qualify, whereas Float64
would not (since this type can represent values smaller than oneunit(Float64)
. , StepRange, and other types are subtypes of this.
Base.AbstractUnitRange — Type
AbstractUnitRange{T} <: OrdinalRange{T, T}
Supertype for ranges with a step size of with elements of type T
. UnitRange and other types are subtypes of this.
Base.StepRange — Type
StepRange{T, S} <: OrdinalRange{T, S}
Ranges with elements of type T
with spacing of type S
. The step between each element is constant, and the range is defined in terms of a start
and stop
of type T
and a step
of type S
. Neither T
nor S
should be floating point types. The syntax a:b:c
with b > 1
and a
, b
, and c
all integers creates a StepRange
.
Examples
julia> collect(StepRange(1, Int8(2), 10))
5-element Vector{Int64}:

3
5
7
9
julia> typeof(StepRange(1, Int8(2), 10))
StepRange{Int64, Int8}
julia> typeof(1:3:6)
StepRange{Int64, Int64}
Base.UnitRange — Type
UnitRange{T<:Real}
A range parameterized by a start
and stop
of type T
, filled with elements spaced by 1
from start
until stop
is exceeded. The syntax a:b
with a
and b
both Integer
s creates a UnitRange
.
Examples
julia> collect(UnitRange(2.3, 5.2))
3-element Vector{Float64}:
2.3
3.3
4.3
julia> typeof(1:10)
UnitRange{Int64}
Base.LinRange — Type
LinRange{T}
A range with len
linearly spaced elements between its start
and stop
. The size of the spacing is controlled by len
, which must be an Int
.
Examples
julia> LinRange(1.5, 5.5, 9)
9-element LinRange{Float64}:
1.5,2.0,2.5,3.0,3.5,4.0,4.5,5.0,5.5
Compared to using , directly constructing a LinRange
should have less overhead but won’t try to correct for floating point errors:
julia> collect(range(-0.1, 0.3, length=5))
5-element Array{Float64,1}:
-0.1
0.0

General Collections
— Function
isempty(collection) -> Bool
Determine whether a collection is empty (has no elements).
Examples
julia> isempty([])
true
julia> isempty([1 2 3])
false
isempty(condition)
Return true
if no tasks are waiting on the condition, false
otherwise.
Base.empty! — Function
empty!(collection) -> collection
Remove all elements from a collection
.
Examples
julia> A = Dict("a" => 1, "b" => 2)
Dict{String, Int64} with 2 entries:
"b" => 2
"a" => 1
julia> empty!(A);
julia> A
Dict{String, Int64}()
Base.length — Function
length(collection) -> Integer
Return the number of elements in the collection.
Use to get the last valid index of an indexable collection.
Examples
julia> length(1:5)
5
julia> length([1, 2, 3, 4])
4
julia> length([1 2; 3 4])
4
Fully implemented by:
Base.in — Function
in(item, collection) -> Bool
∈(item, collection) -> Bool
Determine whether an item is in the given collection, in the sense that it is to one of the values generated by iterating over the collection. Returns a Bool
value, except if item
is missing or collection
contains missing
but not item
, in which case missing
is returned (, matching the behavior of any and ).
Some collections follow a slightly different definition. For example, Sets check whether the item to one of the elements. Dicts look for key=>value
pairs, and the key is compared using . To test for the presence of a key in a dictionary, use haskey or k in keys(dict)
. For these collections, the result is always a Bool
and never missing
.
To determine whether an item is not in a given collection, see . You may also negate the in
by doing !(a in b)
which is logically similar to “not in”.
When broadcasting with in.(items, collection)
or items .∈ collection
, both item
and collection
are broadcasted over, which is often not what is intended. For example, if both arguments are vectors (and the dimensions match), the result is a vector indicating whether each value in collection items
is in
the value at the corresponding position in collection
. To get a vector indicating whether each value in items
is in collection
, wrap collection
in a tuple or a Ref
like this: in.(items, Ref(collection))
or items .∈ Ref(collection)
.
Examples
julia> a = 1:3:20
1:3:19
julia> 4 in a
true
julia> 5 in a
false
julia> missing in [1, 2]
missing
julia> 1 in [2, missing]

Negation of ∈
and ∋
, i.e. checks that item
is not in collection
.
When broadcasting with items .∉ collection
, both item
and collection
are broadcasted over, which is often not what is intended. For example, if both arguments are vectors (and the dimensions match), the result is a vector indicating whether each value in collection items
is not in the value at the corresponding position in collection
. To get a vector indicating whether each value in items
is not in collection
, wrap collection
in a tuple or a Ref
like this: items .∉ Ref(collection)
.

. For dictionary types, this will be a Pair{KeyType,ValType}
. The definition eltype(x) = eltype(typeof(x))
is provided for convenience so that instances can be passed instead of types. However the form that accepts a type argument should be defined for new types.

Remove duplicate items as determined by isequal, then return the modified A
. unique!

— Method
reduce(op, itr; [init])
Reduce the given collection itr
with the given binary operator op
. If provided, the initial value init
must be a neutral element for op
that will be returned for empty collections. It is unspecified whether init
is used for non-empty collections.
For empty collections, providing init
will be necessary, except for some special cases (e.g. when op
is one of +
, *
, max
, min
, &
, |
) when Julia can determine the neutral element of op
.
Reductions for certain commonly-used operators may have special implementations, and should be used instead: maximum(itr)
, minimum(itr)
, sum(itr)
, prod(itr)
, any(itr)
, all(itr)
.
The associativity of the reduction is implementation dependent. This means that you can’t use non-associative operations like -
because it is undefined whether reduce(-,[1,2,3])
should be evaluated as (1-2)-3
or 1-(2-3)
. Use foldl or instead for guaranteed left or right associativity.
Some operations accumulate error. Parallelism will be easier if the reduction can be executed in groups. Future versions of Julia might change the algorithm. Note that the elements are not reordered if you use an ordered collection.
Examples
julia> reduce(*, [2; 3; 4])
24
julia> reduce(*, [2; 3; 4]; init=-1)
-24
— Method
foldl(op, itr; [init])
Like reduce, but with guaranteed left associativity. If provided, the keyword argument init
will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init
to work with empty collections.

julia> foldl(=>, 1:4; init=0)
(((0 => 1) => 2) => 3) => 4
Base.foldr — Method
foldr(op, itr; [init])
Like , but with guaranteed right associativity. If provided, the keyword argument init
will be used exactly once. In general, it will be necessary to provide init
to work with empty collections.
Examples
julia> foldr(=>, 1:4)
1 => (2 => (3 => 4))

Base.findmax! — Function
findmax!(rval, rind, A) -> (maxval, index)
Find the maximum of A
and the corresponding linear index along singleton dimensions of rval
and rind
, and store the results in rval
and rind
. NaN
is treated as greater than all other values.
Base.findmin! — Function
findmin!(rval, rind, A) -> (minval, index)

Base.sum — Function
sum(f, itr; [init])
Sum the results of calling function f
on each element of itr
.
The return type is Int
for signed integers of less than system word size, and UInt
for unsigned integers of less than system word size. For all other arguments, a common return type is found to which all arguments are promoted.
The value returned for empty itr
can be specified by init
. It must be the additive identity (i.e. zero) as it is unspecified whether init
is used for non-empty collections.
Julia 1.6
Keyword argument init
requires Julia 1.6 or later.
Examples
julia> sum(abs2, [2; 3; 4])
29
Note the important difference between sum(A)
and reduce(+, A)
for arrays with small integer eltype:
julia> sum(Int8[100, 28])
128
julia> reduce(+, Int8[100, 28])
-128
In the former case, the integers are widened to system word size and therefore the result is 128. In the latter case, no such widening happens and integer overflow results in -128.
sum(itr; [init])
Returns the sum of all elements in a collection.
The return type is Int
for signed integers of less than system word size, and UInt

mapreduce(f, op, itrs...; [init])
Apply function f
to each element(s) in itrs
, and then reduce the result using the binary function op
. If provided, init
must be a neutral element for op
that will be returned for empty collections. It is unspecified whether init
is used for non-empty collections. In general, it will be necessary to provide init
to work with empty collections.

Dictionaries
is the standard dictionary. Its implementation uses hash as the hashing function for the key, and to determine equality. Define these two functions for custom types to override how they are stored in a hash table.
IdDict is a special hash table where the keys are always object identities.
is a hash table implementation where the keys are weak references to objects, and thus may be garbage collected even when referenced in a hash table. Like Dict
it uses hash
for hashing and isequal
for equality, unlike Dict
it does not convert keys on insertion.
Dicts can be created by passing pair objects constructed with =>
to a constructor: Dict("A"=>1, "B"=>2)
. This call will attempt to infer type information from the keys and values (i.e. this example creates a Dict{String, Int64}
). To explicitly specify types use the syntax Dict{KeyType,ValueType}(...)
. For example, Dict{String,Int32}("A"=>1, "B"=>2)
.
Dictionaries may also be created with generators. For example, Dict(i => f(i) for i = 1:10)
.
Given a dictionary D
, the syntax D[x]
returns the value of key x
(if it exists) or throws an error, and D[x] = y
stores the key-value pair x => y
in D
(replacing any existing value for the key x
). Multiple arguments to D[...]
are converted to tuples; for example, the syntax D[x,y]
is equivalent to D[(x,y)]
, i.e. it refers to the value keyed by the tuple (x,y)
.
Base.AbstractDict — Type
AbstractDict{K, V}
Supertype for dictionary-like types with keys of type K
and values of type V
. , IdDict and other types are subtypes of this. An should be an iterator of Pair{K, V}
.
Base.Dict — Type
Dict([itr])
Dict{K,V}()
constructs a hash table with keys of type K
and values of type V
. Keys are compared with and hashed with hash.
Given a single iterable argument, constructs a whose key-value pairs are taken from 2-tuples (key,value)
generated by the argument.
Examples
julia> Dict([("A", 1), ("B", 2)])
Dict{String, Int64} with 2 entries:
"B" => 2
"A" => 1
Alternatively, a sequence of pair arguments may be passed.
julia> Dict("A"=>1, "B"=>2)
Dict{String, Int64} with 2 entries:
"B" => 2
"A" => 1
— Type
IdDict([itr])
IdDict{K,V}()
constructs a hash table using object-id as hash and ===
as equality with keys of type K
and values of type V
.
See Dict for further help.
Base.WeakKeyDict — Type
WeakKeyDict([itr])
WeakKeyDict()
constructs a hash table where the keys are weak references to objects which may be garbage collected even when referenced in a hash table.
See for further help. Note, unlike Dict, WeakKeyDict
does not convert keys on insertion, as this would imply the key object was unreferenced anywhere before insertion.
Base.ImmutableDict — Type
ImmutableDict
ImmutableDict
is a dictionary implemented as an immutable linked list, which is optimal for small dictionaries that are constructed over many individual insertions. Note that it is not possible to remove a value, although it can be partially overridden and hidden by inserting a new value with the same key.
ImmutableDict(KV::Pair)
Create a new entry in the ImmutableDict
for a key => value

— Function
keys(iterator)
For an iterator or collection that has keys and values (e.g. arrays and dictionaries), return an iterator over the keys.
— Function
values(iterator)
For an iterator or collection that has keys and values, return an iterator over the values. This function simply returns its argument by default, since the elements of a general iterator are normally considered its “values”.
Examples
julia> d = Dict("a"=>1, "b"=>2);
julia> values(d)
ValueIterator for a Dict{String, Int64} with 2 entries. Values:
2
1
julia> values([2])
1-element Vector{Int64}:
2
values(a::AbstractDict)
Return an iterator over all values in a collection. collect(values(a))
returns an array of values. When the values are stored internally in a hash table, as is the case for Dict
, the order in which they are returned may vary. But keys(a)
and values(a)
both iterate a
and return the elements in the same order.
Examples
julia> D = Dict('a'=>2, 'b'=>3)
Dict{Char, Int64} with 2 entries:
'a' => 2
'b' => 3
julia> collect(values(D))
2-element Vector{Int64}:

Base.pairs — Function
pairs(IndexLinear(), A)
pairs(IndexCartesian(), A)
pairs(IndexStyle(A), A)
An iterator that accesses each element of the array A
, returning i => x
, where i
is the index for the element and x = A[i]
. Identical to pairs(A)
, except that the style of index can be selected. Also similar to enumerate(A)
, except i
will be a valid index for A
, while enumerate
always counts from 1 regardless of the indices of A
.
Specifying ensures that i
will be an integer; specifying IndexCartesian() ensures that i
will be a ; specifying IndexStyle(A)
chooses whichever has been defined as the native indexing style for array A
.
Mutation of the bounds of the underlying array will invalidate this iterator.
Examples
julia> A = ["a" "d"; "b" "e"; "c" "f"];
julia> for (index, value) in pairs(IndexStyle(A), A)
println("$index $value")
end
1 a
2 b
3 c
4 d
5 e
6 f
julia> S = view(A, 1:2, :);
julia> for (index, value) in pairs(IndexStyle(S), S)
println("$index $value")
end

CartesianIndex(2, 1) b
CartesianIndex(1, 2) d
CartesianIndex(2, 2) e
See also: IndexStyle, .
pairs(collection)

pairs for any collection that maps a set of keys to a set of values. This includes arrays, where the keys are the array indices.
Base.merge — Function
merge(d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)
Construct a merged collection from the given collections. If necessary, the types of the resulting collection will be promoted to accommodate the types of the merged collections. If the same key is present in another collection, the value for that key will be the value it has in the last collection listed. See also for custom handling of values with the same key.
Examples
julia> a = Dict("foo" => 0.0, "bar" => 42.0)
Dict{String, Float64} with 2 entries:
"bar" => 42.0
"foo" => 0.0
julia> b = Dict("baz" => 17, "bar" => 4711)
Dict{String, Int64} with 2 entries:
"bar" => 4711
"baz" => 17
julia> merge(a, b)
Dict{String, Float64} with 3 entries:
"bar" => 4711.0
"baz" => 17.0
"foo" => 0.0
julia> merge(b, a)
Dict{String, Float64} with 3 entries:
"bar" => 42.0
"baz" => 17.0
"foo" => 0.0
merge(a::NamedTuple, bs::NamedTuple...)
Construct a new named tuple by merging two or more existing ones, in a left-associative manner. Merging proceeds left-to-right, between pairs of named tuples, and so the order of fields present in both the leftmost and rightmost named tuples take the same position as they are found in the leftmost named tuple. However, values are taken from matching fields in the rightmost named tuple that contains that field. Fields present in only the rightmost named tuple of a pair are appended at the end. A fallback is implemented for when only a single named tuple is supplied, with signature merge(a::NamedTuple)
.
Julia 1.1
Merging 3 or more NamedTuple
requires at least Julia 1.1.
Examples
julia> merge((a=1, b=2, c=3), (b=4, d=5))

julia> merge((a=1, b=2), (b=3, c=(d=1,)), (c=(d=2,),))
(a = 1, b = 3, c = (d = 2,))
merge(a::NamedTuple, iterable)
Interpret an iterable of key-value pairs as a named tuple, and perform a merge.
julia> merge((a=1, b=2, c=3), [:b=>4, :d=>5])
(a = 1, b = 4, c = 3, d = 5)
— Function
mergewith(combine, d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)
mergewith(combine)
merge(combine, d::AbstractDict, others::AbstractDict...)
Construct a merged collection from the given collections. If necessary, the types of the resulting collection will be promoted to accommodate the types of the merged collections. Values with the same key will be combined using the combiner function. The curried form mergewith(combine)
returns the function (args...) -> mergewith(combine, args...)
.
Method merge(combine::Union{Function,Type}, args...)
as an alias of mergewith(combine, args...)
is still available for backward compatibility.
Julia 1.5
mergewith
requires Julia 1.5 or later.

returns the function (args...) -> mergewith!(combine, args...)
.
Method merge!(combine::Union{Function,Type}, args...)
as an alias of mergewith!(combine, args...)
is still available for backward compatibility.
Julia 1.5
mergewith!
requires Julia 1.5 or later.
Examples
julia> d1 = Dict(1 => 2, 3 => 4);
julia> d2 = Dict(1 => 4, 4 => 5);
julia> mergewith!(+, d1, d2);
julia> d1
Dict{Int64, Int64} with 3 entries:

Base.sizehint! — Function
sizehint!(s, n)
Suggest that collection s
reserve capacity for at least n
elements. This can improve performance.
Notes on the performance model
For types that support sizehint!
,
push!
andappend!
methods generally may (but are not required to) preallocate extra
storage. For types implemented in Base
, they typically do, using a heuristic optimized for a general use case.
sizehint!
may control this preallocation. Again, it typically does this for types in
Base
.
empty!
is nearly costless (and O(1)) for types that support this kind of preallocation.

deleteat!(a::Vector, inds)
Remove the items at the indices given by inds
, and return the modified a
. Subsequent items are shifted to fill the resulting gap.
inds
can be either an iterator or a collection of sorted and unique integer indices, or a boolean vector of the same length as a
with true
indicating entries to delete.

Base.splice! — Function
splice!(a::Vector, index::Integer, [replacement]) -> item
Remove the item at the given index, and return the removed item. Subsequent items are shifted left to fill the resulting gap. If specified, replacement values from an ordered collection will be spliced in place of the removed item.
Examples
julia> A = [6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1]; splice!(A, 5)

To insert replacement
before an index n
without removing any items, use splice!(collection, n:n-1, replacement)
.
splice!(a::Vector, indices, [replacement]) -> items
Remove items at specified indices, and return a collection containing the removed items. Subsequent items are shifted left to fill the resulting gaps. If specified, replacement values from an ordered collection will be spliced in place of the removed items; in this case, indices
must be a UnitRange
.
To insert replacement
before an index n
without removing any items, use splice!(collection, n:n-1, replacement)
.
Julia 1.5
Prior to Julia 1.5, indices
must always be a UnitRange
.

— Function
resize!(a::Vector, n::Integer) -> Vector
Resize a
to contain n
elements. If n
is smaller than the current collection length, the first n
elements will be retained. If n
is larger, the new elements are not guaranteed to be initialized.
Examples
julia> resize!([6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1], 3)

— Function
append!(collection, collections...) -> collection.
For an ordered container collection
, add the elements of each collections
to the end of it.
Julia 1.6
Specifying multiple collections to be appended requires at least Julia 1.6.
Examples
julia> append!([1], [2, 3])
3-element Vector{Int64}:
1
2

julia> append!([1, 2, 3], [4, 5], [6])

Use push! to add individual items to collection
which are not already themselves in another collection. The result of the preceding example is equivalent to push!([1, 2, 3], 4, 5, 6)
.
See for notes about the performance model.
— Function
prepend!(a::Vector, collections...) -> collection
Insert the elements of each collections
to the beginning of a
.
When collections
specifies multiple collections, order is maintained: elements of collections[1]
will appear leftmost in a
, and so on.
Julia 1.6
Specifying multiple collections to be prepended requires at least Julia 1.6.
Examples
julia> prepend!([3], [1, 2])
3-element Vector{Int64}:

Utility Collections
— Type
Pair(x, y)
x => y
Construct a Pair
object with type Pair{typeof(x), typeof(y)}
. The elements are stored in the fields first
and second
. They can also be accessed via iteration (but a Pair
is treated as a single “scalar” for broadcasting operations).
See also: Dict
Examples
julia> p = "foo" => 7
"foo" => 7
julia> typeof(p)
Pair{String, Int64}
julia> p.first
"foo"
julia> for x in p
println(x)

Base.Iterators.Pairs — Type
Transforms an indexable container into an Dictionary-view of the same data. Modifying the key-space of the underlying data may invalidate this object.
