null :: Foldable t => t a -> Bool #
Test whether the structure is empty. The default implementation is Left-associative and lazy in both the initial element and the accumulator. Thus optimised for structures where the first element can be accessed in constant time. Structures where this is not the case should have a non-default implementation.
Examples
Basic usage:
>>>
null []
True
>>>
null [1]
False
null
is expected to terminate even for infinite structures.
The default implementation terminates provided the structure
is bounded on the left (there is a leftmost element).
>>>
null [1..]
False
Since: base-4.8.0.0
