Documentation
Conversion of values to readable String
s.
Derived instances of Show
have the following properties, which
are compatible with derived instances of Read
:
- The result of
show
is a syntactically correct Haskell expression containing only constants, given the fixity declarations in force at the point where the type is declared. It contains only the constructor names defined in the data type, parentheses, and spaces. When labelled constructor fields are used, braces, commas, field names, and equal signs are also used. - If the constructor is defined to be an infix operator, then
showsPrec
will produce infix applications of the constructor. - the representation will be enclosed in parentheses if the
precedence of the top-level constructor in
x
is less thand
(associativity is ignored). Thus, ifd
is0
then the result is never surrounded in parentheses; ifd
is11
it is always surrounded in parentheses, unless it is an atomic expression. - If the constructor is defined using record syntax, then
show
will produce the record-syntax form, with the fields given in the same order as the original declaration.
For example, given the declarations
infixr 5 :^: data Tree a = Leaf a | Tree a :^: Tree a
the derived instance of Show
is equivalent to
instance (Show a) => Show (Tree a) where showsPrec d (Leaf m) = showParen (d > app_prec) $ showString "Leaf " . showsPrec (app_prec+1) m where app_prec = 10 showsPrec d (u :^: v) = showParen (d > up_prec) $ showsPrec (up_prec+1) u . showString " :^: " . showsPrec (up_prec+1) v where up_prec = 5
Note that right-associativity of :^:
is ignored. For example,
produces the stringshow
(Leaf 1 :^: Leaf 2 :^: Leaf 3)"Leaf 1 :^: (Leaf 2 :^: Leaf 3)"
.

showChar :: Char -> ShowS Source #
utility function converting a Char
to a show function that
simply prepends the character unchanged.
showString :: String -> ShowS Source #
utility function converting a String
to a show function that
simply prepends the string unchanged.
showMultiLineString :: String -> [String] Source #
Like showLitString
(expand escape characters using Haskell
escape conventions), but
* break the string into multiple lines
* wrap the entire thing in double quotes
Example: showMultiLineString "hellongoodbyenblah"
returns [""hello\n\", "\goodbyen\", "\blah""]
showList__ :: (a -> ShowS) -> [a] -> ShowS Source #
showLitChar :: Char -> ShowS Source #
Convert a character to a string using only printable characters, using Haskell source-language escape conventions. For example:
showLitChar '\n' s = "\\n" ++ s
showLitString :: String -> ShowS Source #
Same as showLitChar
, but for strings
It converts the string to a string using Haskell escape conventions
for non-printable characters. Does not add double-quotes around the
whole thing; the caller should do that.
The main difference from showLitChar (apart from the fact that the
argument is a string not a list) is that we must escape double-quotes
intToDigit :: Int -> Char Source #
