Examples
Unless the OverloadedLists extension is enabled, list literals are
syntactic sugar for repeated applications of :
and []
.
>>>
1:2:3:4:[] == [1,2,3,4]
True
Similarly, unless the OverloadedStrings extension is enabled, string literals are syntactic sugar for a lists of characters.
>>>
['h','e','l','l','o'] == "hello"
True

foldr :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> [a] -> b Source #
foldr
, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically
the right-identity of the operator), and a list, reduces the list
using the binary operator, from right to left:
foldr f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == x1 `f` (x2 `f` ... (xn `f` z)...)
foldr' :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> [a] -> b Source #
foldr'
is a variant of foldr
that begins list reduction from the last
element and evaluates the accumulator strictly as it unwinds the stack back
to the beginning of the list. The input list must be finite, otherwise
foldr'
runs out of space (diverges).
Note that if the function that combines the accumulated value with each
element is strict in the accumulator, other than a possible improvement
in the constant factor, you get the same O(n) space cost
as with just foldr
.
If you want a strict right fold in constant space, you need a structure
that supports faster than O(n) access to the right-most
element, such as Seq
from the containers
package.
Use of this function is a hint that the []
structure may be a poor fit
for the task at hand. If the order in which the elements are combined is
not important, use foldl'
instead.

f xs

If the first list is not finite, the result is the first list.
This function takes linear time in the number of elements of the
first list. Thus it is better to associate repeated
applications of (++)
to the right (which is the default behaviour):
xs ++ (ys ++ zs)
or simply xs ++ ys ++ zs
, but not (xs ++ ys) ++ zs
.
For the same reason concat

foldr
(++)
[]

(++)
[]
is prone
to quadratic slowdown.
