Instance details

Defined in GHC.Generics

type Rep Bool = D1 (MetaData "Bool" "GHC.Types" "ghc-prim" False) (C1 (MetaCons "False" PrefixI False) (U1 :: * -> *) :+: C1 (MetaCons "True" PrefixI False) (U1 :: * -> *))

Operations

(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 3 Source #

Boolean "and"

(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 2 Source #

Boolean "or"

not :: Bool -> Bool Source #

Boolean "not"

otherwise :: Bool Source #

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

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

bool :: a -> a -> Bool -> a Source #

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

This is equivalent to if p then y else x; that is, one can think of it as an if-then-else construct with its arguments reordered.

Examples

Expand

Basic usage:

>>> bool "foo" "bar" True
"bar"
>>> bool "foo" "bar" False
"foo"

Confirm that bool x y p and if p then y else x are equivalent:

>>> let p = True; x = "bar"; y = "foo"
>>> bool x y p == if p then y else x
True
>>> let p = False
>>> bool x y p == if p then y else x
True
