splitAt :: forall a. Int -> Array a -> { after :: Array a, before :: Array a }

Splits an array into two subarrays, where before contains the elements up to (but not including) the given index, and after contains the rest of the elements, from that index on.

>>> splitAt 3 [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
{ before: [1, 2, 3], after: [4, 5] }

Thus, the length of (splitAt i arr).before will equal either i or length arr, if that is shorter. (Or if i is negative the length will be 0.)

sndChars = zipWithA (\a b -> charAt 2 (a <> b))
sndChars ["a", "b"] ["A", "B"] = Nothing -- since "aA" has no 3rd char
sndChars ["aa", "b"] ["AA", "BBB"] = Just ['A', 'B']

unsafeIndex :: forall a. Partial => Array a -> Int -> a

Find the element of an array at the specified index.

unsafePartial $ unsafeIndex ["a", "b", "c"] 1 = "b"

Using unsafeIndex with an out-of-range index will not immediately raise a runtime error. Instead, the result will be undefined. Most attempts to subsequently use the result will cause a runtime error, of course, but this is not guaranteed, and is dependent on the backend; some programs will continue to run as if nothing is wrong. For example, in the JavaScript backend, the expression unsafePartial (unsafeIndex [true] 1) has type Boolean; since this expression evaluates to undefined, attempting to use it in an if statement will cause the else branch to be taken.
