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
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
Consume exactly n bytes of input.
Consume exactly n characters of input.
Consume n bytes of input.
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]
[]
It is an instance of the more general genericTake, in which n may be of any integral type.
Take the first n byte of a bytearray
Take @n bytes from the current position in the stream
Take the first n byte of a bytearray
Take the given number of bytes, if available. Since 0.3.0
Since 1.0.8
(take n) only allows n values to pass through
take 0 = return ()

take (m + n) = take m >> take n
take <infinity> = cat

take (min m n) = take m >-> take n
take n xs returns the first n elements of xs.
Make a list as long as another one
\(Shape xs) (List ys) -> Match.take xs ys == List.take (length xs) ys
Wraps an InputStream, producing a new InputStream that will produce at most n items, subsequently yielding end-of-stream forever. Items pushed back to the returned InputStream will be propagated upstream, modifying the count of taken items accordingly. Example:
ghci> is <- Streams.fromList [1..9::Int]
ghci> is' <- Streams.take 1 is
ghci> Streams.read is'
Just 1
ghci> Streams.read is'
Nothing
ghci> Streams.peek is
Just 2
ghci> Streams.unRead 11 is'
ghci> Streams.peek is
Just 11
ghci> Streams.peek is'
Just 11
ghci> Streams.read is'
Just 11
ghci> Streams.read is'
Nothing
ghci> Streams.read is
Just 2
ghci> Streams.toList is
[3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
End a stream after n elements; the original return value is thus lost. splitAt preserves this information. Note that, like splitAt, this function is functor-general, so that, for example, you can take not just a number of items from a stream of elements, but a number of substreams and the like.
>>> S.toList $ S.take 3 $ each "with"
"wit" :> ()
>>> S.readFile "stream.hs" (S.stdoutLn . S.take 3)
