elem package:hedgehog

Does the element occur in the structure? Note: elem is often used in infix form.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> 3 `elem` []
False

>>> 3 `elem` [1,2]
False

>>> 3 `elem` [1,2,3,4,5]
True

For infinite structures, the default implementation of elem terminates if the sought-after value exists at a finite distance from the left side of the structure:

>>> 3 `elem` [1..]
True

>>> 3 `elem` ([4..] ++ [3])
* Hangs forever *

Randomly selects one of the elements in the list. This generator shrinks towards the first element in the list. The input list must be non-empty.

Randomly selects one of the elements in the list. This generator does not shrink the choice of element. The input list must be non-empty.

notElem is the negation of elem.

Examples

Basic usage:

>>> 3 `notElem` []
True

>>> 3 `notElem` [1,2]
True

>>> 3 `notElem` [1,2,3,4,5]
False

For infinite structures, notElem terminates if the value exists at a finite distance from the left side of the structure:

>>> 3 `notElem` [1..]
False

>>> 3 `notElem` ([4..] ++ [3])
* Hangs forever *
