FindFirstFunctions.bracketstrictlymontonic
— Methodbracketstrictlymontonic(v, x, guess; lt=<comparison>, by=<transform>, rev=false)
Starting from an initial guess
index, find indices (lo, hi)
such that v[lo] ≤ x ≤ v[hi]
according to the specified order, assuming that x
is actually within the range of values found in v
. If x
is outside that range, either lo
will be firstindex(v)
or hi
will be lastindex(v)
.
Note that the results will not typically satisfy lo ≤ guess ≤ hi
. If x
is precisely equal to a value that is not unique in the input v
, there is no guarantee that (lo, hi)
will encompass all indices corresponding to that value.
This algorithm is essentially an expanding binary search, which can be used as a precursor to searchsorted
and related functions, which can take lo
and hi
as arguments. The purpose of using this function first would be to accelerate convergence in those functions by using correlated guess
es for repeated calls. The best guess
for the next call of this function would be the index returned by the previous call to searchsorted
.

and rev

FindFirstFunctions.findfirstequal
— Methodfindfirstequal(x::Int64,A::DenseVector{Int64})
Finds the first value in A
equal to x
FindFirstFunctions.findfirstsortedequal
— Methodfindfirstsortedequal(vars::DenseVector{Int64}, var::Int64)::Union{Int64,Nothing}
Note that this differs from searchsortedfirst
by returning nothing
when absent.
FindFirstFunctions.searchsortedfirstcorrelated
— Methodsearchsortedfirstcorrelated(v::AbstractVector{T}, x, guess)
An accelerated findfirst
on sorted vectors using a bracketed search. Requires a guess::T
to start the search from.
