Module Base.Char

A type for 8-bit characters.

type t = char

An alias for the type of characters.

val (<) : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val (<>) : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val equal : t ‑> t ‑> bool
val compare : t ‑> t ‑> int

compare t1 t2 returns 0 if t1 is equal to t2, a negative integer if t1 is less than t2, and a positive integer if t1 is greater than t2.

val min : t ‑> t ‑> t
val max : t ‑> t ‑> t
val ascending : t ‑> t ‑> int

ascending is identical to compare. descending x y = ascending y x. These are intended to be mnemonic when used like List.sort ~compare:ascending and List.sort ~cmp:descending, since they cause the list to be sorted in ascending or descending order, respectively.

val descending : t ‑> t ‑> int
val between : t ‑> low:t ‑> high:t ‑> bool

between t ~low ~high means low <= t <= high

val clamp_exn : t ‑> min:t ‑> max:t ‑> t

clamp_exn t ~min ~max returns t', the closest value to t such that between t' ~low:min ~high:max is true.

Raises if not (min <= max).

module O : Comparisons.Infix with type t := t
val to_int : t ‑> int

Returns the ASCII code of the argument.

val of_int : int ‑> t option

Returns the character with the given ASCII code or None is the argument is outside the range 0 to 255.

val of_int_exn : int ‑> t

Returns the character with the given ASCII code. Raises Failure if the argument is outside the range 0 to 255.

val unsafe_of_int : int ‑> t
val escaped : t ‑> string

Returns a string representing the given character, with special characters escaped following the lexical conventions of OCaml.

val lowercase : t ‑> t

Converts the given character to its equivalent lowercase character.

val uppercase : t ‑> t

Converts the given character to its equivalent uppercase character.

val is_digit : t ‑> bool

'0' - '9'

val is_lowercase : t ‑> bool

'a' - 'z'

val is_uppercase : t ‑> bool

'A' - 'Z'

val is_alpha : t ‑> bool

'a' - 'z' or 'A' - 'Z'

val is_alphanum : t ‑> bool

'a' - 'z' or 'A' - 'Z' or '0' - '9'

val is_print : t ‑> bool

' ' - '~'

val is_whitespace : t ‑> bool

' ' or '\t' or '\r' or '\n'

val get_digit : t ‑> int option

Returns Some i if is_digit c and None otherwise.

val get_digit_exn : t ‑> int

Returns i if is_digit c and raises Failure otherwise.
