package bytes
// Empty returns an empty byte slice.
//
// This function returns the identity element for the byte slice Monoid,
// which is an empty byte slice. It's useful as a starting point for
// building byte slices or as a default value.
//
// Returns:
// - An empty byte slice ([]byte{})
//
// Properties:
// - Empty() is the identity element for Monoid.Concat
// - Monoid.Concat(Empty(), x) == x
// - Monoid.Concat(x, Empty()) == x
//
// Example - Basic usage:
//
// empty := Empty()
// fmt.Println(len(empty)) // 0
//
// Example - As identity element:
//
// data := []byte("hello")
// result1 := Monoid.Concat(Empty(), data) // []byte("hello")
// result2 := Monoid.Concat(data, Empty()) // []byte("hello")
//
// Example - Building byte slices:
//
// // Start with empty and build up
// buffer := Empty()
// buffer = Monoid.Concat(buffer, []byte("Hello"))
// buffer = Monoid.Concat(buffer, []byte(" "))
// buffer = Monoid.Concat(buffer, []byte("World"))
// // buffer: []byte("Hello World")
//
// See also:
// - Monoid.Empty(): Alternative way to get empty byte slice
// - ConcatAll(): For concatenating multiple byte slices
func Empty() []byte {
return Monoid.Empty()
}
// ToString converts a byte slice to a string.
//
// This function performs a direct conversion from []byte to string.
// The conversion creates a new string with a copy of the byte data.
//
// Parameters:
// - a: The byte slice to convert
//
// Returns:
// - A string containing the same data as the byte slice
//
// Performance Note:
//
// This conversion allocates a new string. For performance-critical code
// that needs to avoid allocations, consider using unsafe.String (Go 1.20+)
// or working directly with byte slices.
//
// Example - Basic conversion:
//
// bytes := []byte("hello")
// str := ToString(bytes)
// fmt.Println(str) // "hello"
//
// Example - Converting binary data:
//
// // ASCII codes for "Hello"
// data := []byte{0x48, 0x65, 0x6c, 0x6c, 0x6f}
// str := ToString(data)
// fmt.Println(str) // "Hello"
//
// Example - Empty byte slice:
//
// empty := Empty()
// str := ToString(empty)
// fmt.Println(str == "") // true
//
// Example - UTF-8 encoded text:
//
// utf8Bytes := []byte("Hello, 世界")
// str := ToString(utf8Bytes)
// fmt.Println(str) // "Hello, 世界"
//
// Example - Round-trip conversion:
//
// original := "test string"
// bytes := []byte(original)
// result := ToString(bytes)
// fmt.Println(original == result) // true
//
// See also:
// - []byte(string): For converting string to byte slice
// - Size(): For getting the length of a byte slice
func ToString(a []byte) string {
return string(a)
}
// Size returns the number of bytes in a byte slice.
//
// This function returns the length of the byte slice, which is the number
// of bytes it contains. This is equivalent to len(as) but provided as a
// named function for use in functional composition.
//
// Parameters:
// - as: The byte slice to measure
//
// Returns:
// - The number of bytes in the slice
//
// Example - Basic usage:
//
// data := []byte("hello")
// size := Size(data)
// fmt.Println(size) // 5
//
// Example - Empty slice:
//
// empty := Empty()
// size := Size(empty)
// fmt.Println(size) // 0
//
// Example - Binary data:
//
// binary := []byte{0x01, 0x02, 0x03, 0x04}
// size := Size(binary)
// fmt.Println(size) // 4
//
// Example - UTF-8 encoded text:
//
// // Note: Size returns byte count, not character count
// utf8 := []byte("Hello, 世界")
// byteCount := Size(utf8)
// fmt.Println(byteCount) // 13 (not 9 characters)
//
// Example - Using in functional composition:
//
// import "github.com/IBM/fp-go/v2/array"
//
// slices := [][]byte{
// []byte("a"),
// []byte("bb"),
// []byte("ccc"),
// }
//
// // Map to get sizes
// sizes := array.Map(Size)(slices)
// // sizes: []int{1, 2, 3}
//
// Example - Checking if slice is empty:
//
// data := []byte("test")
// isEmpty := Size(data) == 0
// fmt.Println(isEmpty) // false
//
// See also:
// - len(): Built-in function for getting slice length
// - ToString(): For converting byte slice to string
func Size(as []byte) int {
return len(as)
