class Monoid a where |
The monoid class.
A minimal complete definition must supply mempty and mappend,
and these should satisfy the monoid laws. | | Methods | mempty :: a | Identity of mappend | | mappend :: a -> a -> a | An associative operation | | mconcat :: [a] -> a | Fold a list using the monoid.
For most types, the default definition for mconcat will be
used, but the function is included in the class definition so
that an optimized version can be provided for specific types. |
