% Minor utilities to manage pairs (2-element tuples).
%
-module(pair).

-export([ first/1, second/1, swap/1, to_list/1 ]).

-compile( { inline, [ first/1, second/1, swap/1 ] } ).



-type pair() :: { any(), any() }.

-export_type([ pair/0 ]).


% Returns the first element of specified pair.
%
-spec first( pair() ) -> pair().
first( { X, _Y } ) ->
	X.



% Returns the second element of specified pair.
%
-spec second( pair() ) -> pair().
second( { _X, Y } ) ->
	Y.



% Returns a pair whose elements have been swapped compared to specified one.
%
-spec swap( pair() ) -> pair().
swap( { X, Y } ) ->
	{ Y, X }.



% Returns a list of two elements corresponding to specified pair.
%
-spec to_list( pair() ) -> list().
to_list( { F, S } ) ->
	[ F, S ].
