:: [a] -> Int -> a package:LambdaHack

List index (subscript) operator, starting from 0. It is an instance of the more general genericIndex, which takes an index of any integral type.

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !! 0
'a'

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !! 2
'c'

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !! 3
*** Exception: Prelude.!!: index too large

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !! (-1)
*** Exception: Prelude.!!: negative index

WARNING: This function is partial. You can use atMay instead.

The genericIndex function is an overloaded version of !!, which accepts any Integral value as the index.

List index (subscript) operator, starting from 0. Returns Nothing if the index is out of bounds

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !? 0
Just 'a'

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !? 2
Just 'c'

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !? 3
Nothing

>>> ['a', 'b', 'c'] !? (-1)
Nothing

This is the total variant of the partial !! operator. WARNING: This function takes linear time in the index.
