Operations

(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> BoolSource

Boolean "and"

(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> BoolSource

Boolean "or"

not :: Bool -> BoolSource

Boolean "not"

otherwise :: BoolSource

otherwise is defined as the value True. It helps to make guards more readable. eg.

  f x | x < 0     = ...
      | otherwise = ...

bool :: a -> a -> Bool -> aSource

Case analysis for the Bool type. bool a b p evaluates to a when p is False, and evaluates to b when p is True.
