This library defines a data structure for sequence of values.
It is used in search trees (module SearchTree
) as well as in
set functions (module SetFunctions
).
Using sequence of values (rather than standard lists of values)
is necessary to get the behavior of set functions
w.r.t. finite failures right, as described in the paper

emptyVS
:: ValueSequence a
An empty sequence of values. |
addVS
:: a -> ValueSequence a -> ValueSequence a
Adds a value to a sequence of values. |
failVS
:: Int -> ValueSequence a
Adds a failure to a sequence of values. |
(|++|)
:: ValueSequence a -> ValueSequence a -> ValueSequence a
Concatenates two sequences of values. |
vsToList
:: ValueSequence a -> [a]
Transforms a sequence of values into a list of values. |
A value sequence is an abstract sequence of values. It also contains failure elements in order to implement the semantics of set functions w.r.t. failures in the intended manner.
Constructors:
An empty sequence of values.
|
Adds a value to a sequence of values.
|
Adds a failure to a sequence of values. The argument is the encapsulation level of the failure.
|
Concatenates two sequences of values.
|
Transforms a sequence of values into a list of values.
