Vector.flat_map

flat_mapfunctionon_problems

Documentation​

Applies a function to each element of the vector, returning the Vector that contains all results concatenated.

Arguments​

  • function: A function that takes an element in the vector, transforms it, and returns a Vector.
  • on_problems: Specifies how to handle any problems that arise in function.

Examples​

Replace each number n in the vector with itself repeated n times.​

     [0, 1, 2] . flat_map (n -> Vector.fill n n)

Errors​

The result of Errors thrown when executing the function depend on on_problems:

  • Report_Error: The first error is thrown, and is wrapped in Map_Error.
  • No_Wrap: The first error is thrown, and is not wrapped in Map_Error.
  • Report_Warning: The result for that element is Nothing, the error is attached as a warning. Currently unimplemented.
  • Ignore: The result is Nothing, and the error is ignored.

Errors that are thrown when executing the supplied function are wrapped in Map_Error, which contains the index at which the error occurred.

In the Report_Warning case, only MAX_MAP_WARNINGS warnings are attached to result values. After that, the warnings are dropped, but a count of the additional warnings is attached in an Additional_Warnings warning.
