Expand description

Applies a parser n times or until it fails and accumulates the results using a given function and initial value. Fails if the embedded parser does not succeed at least m times.

Arguments

  • m The minimum number of iterations.
  • n The maximum number of iterations.
  • f The parser to apply.
  • init A function returning the initial value.
  • g The function that combines a result of f with the current accumulator.
