Methods compare :: Void -> Void -> Ordering Source (<) :: Void -> Void -> Bool Source (<=) :: Void -> Void -> Bool Source (>) :: Void -> Void -> Bool Source (>=) :: Void -> Void -> Bool Source max :: Void -> Void -> Void Source min :: Void -> Void -> Void Source
Read Void	Reading a `Void` value is always a parse error, considering `Void` as a data type with no constructors.

absurd :: Void -> a Source

Since Void values logically don't exist, this witnesses the logical reasoning tool of "ex falso quodlibet".

vacuous :: Functor f => f Void -> f a Source

If Void is uninhabited then any Functor that holds only values of type Void is holding no values.
