autoqasm.operators.slices module

Operators for slices.

class autoqasm.operators.slices.GetItemOpts(element_dtype)[source]

Bases: GetItemOpts

Create new instance of GetItemOpts(element_dtype,)

autoqasm.operators.slices.get_item(target: Any, i: Any, opts: GetItemOpts) → Any[source]

The slice read operator (i.e. __getitem__).

Parameters:

  • target (Any) – An entity that supports getitem semantics.

  • i (Any) – Index to read from.

  • opts (GetItemOpts) – A GetItemOpts object.

Returns:

Any – The read element.

autoqasm.operators.slices.set_item(target: Any, i: Any, x: Any) → Any[source]

The slice write operator (i.e. __setitem__).

Note: it is unspecified whether target will be mutated or not. In general, if target is mutable (like Python lists), it will be mutated.

Parameters:

  • target (Any) – An entity that supports setitem semantics.

  • i (Any) – Index to modify.

  • x (Any) – The new element value.

Returns:

Any – Same as target, after the update was performed.
