take

take n, applied to a list xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n >= length xs. It is an instance of the more general genericTake, in which n may be of any integral type.

Laziness

>>> take 0 undefined
[]

>>> take 2 (1 : 2 : undefined)
[1,2]

Examples

>>> take 5 "Hello World!"
"Hello"

>>> take 3 [1,2,3,4,5]
[1,2,3]

>>> take 3 [1,2]
[1,2]

>>> take 3 []
[]

>>> take (-1) [1,2]
[]

>>> take 0 [1,2]
[]

take n xs returns the first n elements of xs.

O(1) take n, applied to a ByteString xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs.

O(n/c) take n, applied to a ByteString xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs.

O(n) take n, applied to a ShortByteString xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n > length xs. Note: copies the entire byte array

O(n) take n, applied to a Text, returns the prefix of the Text of length n, or the Text itself if n is greater than the length of the Text.

O(n) take n, applied to a stream, returns the prefix of the stream of length n, or the stream itself if n is greater than the length of the stream. Properties

unstream . take n . stream = take n

O(n) take n, applied to a Text, returns the prefix of the Text of length n, or the Text itself if n is greater than the length of the Text.

Take a given number of entries in key order, beginning with the smallest keys.

take n = fromDistinctAscList . take n . toAscList

The first i elements of a sequence. If i is negative, take i s yields the empty sequence. If the sequence contains fewer than i elements, the whole sequence is returned.

Take a given number of elements in order, beginning with the smallest ones.

take n = fromDistinctAscList . take n . toAscList

Consume exactly n bytes of input.

Consume exactly n characters of input.

Consume n bytes of input.

Stream up to n number of values downstream. Note that, if downstream terminates early, not all values will be consumed. If you want to force exactly the given number of values to be consumed, see takeExactly. Subject to fusion

Take some values from the stream and return as a list. If you want to instead create a conduit that pipes data to another sink, see isolate. This function is semantically equivalent to:

take i = isolate i =$ consume

Subject to fusion Since 0.3.0

take n s returns the first n characters of s. If s has less than n characters, then we return the whole of s.

take n s returns the first n characters of s. If s has less than n characters, then we return the whole of s.

take n s returns the first n characters of s. If s has less than n characters, then we return the whole of s.

take n s returns the first n characters of s. If s has less than n characters, then we return the whole of s.

take n, applied to a list xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, or xs itself if n >= length xs.

>>> take 5 "Hello World!"
"Hello"

>>> take 3 [1,2,3,4,5]
[1,2,3]

>>> take 3 [1,2]
[1,2]

>>> take 3 []
[]

>>> take (-1) [1,2]
[]

>>> take 0 [1,2]
[]
