# Functor and monad classes

class Functor f where Source #

A type `f` is a Functor if it provides a function `fmap` which, given any types `a` and `b` lets you apply any function from `(a -> b)` to turn an `f a` into an `f b`, preserving the structure of `f`. Furthermore `f` needs to adhere to the following:

Identity
  ``fmap` `id` == `id``
Composition
  ``fmap` (f . g) == `fmap` f . `fmap` g`

Note, that the second law follows from the free theorem of the type `fmap` and the first law, so you need only check that the former condition holds.

Minimal complete definition

fmap

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b Source #

`fmap` is used to apply a function of type `(a -> b)` to a value of type `f a`, where f is a functor, to produce a value of type `f b`. Note that for any type constructor with more than one parameter (e.g., `Either`), only the last type parameter can be modified with `fmap` (e.g., `b` in `Either a b`).

Some type constructors with two parameters or more have a ``Bifunctor`` instance that allows both the last and the penultimate parameters to be mapped over.

#### Examples

Expand

Convert from a ``Maybe` Int` to a `Maybe String` using `show`:

    >>> fmap show Nothing
    Nothing
    >>> fmap show (Just 3)
    Just "3"

Convert from an ``Either` Int Int` to an `Either Int String` using `show`:

    >>> fmap show (Left 17)
    Left 17
    >>> fmap show (Right 17)
    Right "17"

Double each element of a list:

    >>> fmap (*2) [1,2,3]
    [2,4,6]

Apply `even` to the second element of a pair:

    >>> fmap even (2,2)
    (2,True)

It may seem surprising that the function is only applied to the last element of the tuple compared to the list example above which applies it to every element in the list. To understand, remember that tuples are type constructors with multiple type parameters: a tuple of 3 elements `(a,b,c)` can also be written `(,,) a b c` and its `Functor` instance is defined for `Functor ((,,) a b)` (i.e., only the third parameter is free to be mapped over with `fmap`).

It explains why `fmap` can be used with tuples containing values of different types as in the following example:

    >>> fmap even ("hello", 1.0, 4)
    ("hello",1.0,True)

(<$) :: a -> f b -> f a infixl 4 Source #

Replace all locations in the input with the same value. The default definition is ``fmap` . `const``, but this may be overridden with a more efficient version.

class Applicative m => Monad m where Source #

The `Monad` class defines the basic operations over a monad, a concept from a branch of mathematics known as category theory. From the perspective of a Haskell programmer, however, it is best to think of a monad as an abstract datatype of actions. Haskell's `do` expressions provide a convenient syntax for writing monadic expressions.

Instances of `Monad` should satisfy the following:

Left identity
  ``return` a `>>=` k = k a`
Right identity
  `m `>>=` `return` = m`
Associativity
  `m `>>=` (\x -> k x `>>=` h) = (m `>>=` k) `>>=` h`

Furthermore, the `Monad` and `Applicative` operations should relate as follows:

-     pure = return

-     m1 <*> m2 = m1 >>= (x1 -> m2 >>= (x2 -> return (x1 x2)))

The above laws imply:

-     fmap f xs  =  xs >>= return . f

-     (>>) = (*>)

and that `pure` and (`<*>`) satisfy the applicative functor laws.

The instances of `Monad` for lists, `Maybe` and `IO` defined in the Prelude satisfy these laws.

Methods

(>>=) :: forall a b. m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b infixl 1 Source #

Sequentially compose two actions, passing any value produced by the first as an argument to the second.

'`as `>>=` bs`' can be understood as the `do` expression

    do a <- as
       bs a

(>>) :: forall a b. m a -> m b -> m b infixl 1 Source #

Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the first, like sequencing operators (such as the semicolon) in imperative languages.

'`as `>>` bs`' can be understood as the `do` expression

    do as
       bs

return :: a -> m a Source #

Inject a value into the monadic type.

class Monad m => MonadFail m where Source #

When a value is bound in `do`-notation, the pattern on the left hand side of `<-` might not match. In this case, this class provides a function to recover.

A `Monad` without a `MonadFail` instance may only be used in conjunction with pattern that always match, such as newtypes, tuples, data types with only a single data constructor, and irrefutable patterns (`~pat`).

Instances of `MonadFail` should satisfy the following law: `fail s` should be a left zero for `>>=`,

    fail s >>= f  =  fail s

If your `Monad` is also `MonadPlus`, a popular definition is

    fail _ = mzero

# Functions

## Naming conventions

The functions in this library use the following naming conventions:

- A postfix '`M`' always stands for a function in the Kleisli category: The monad type constructor `m` is added to function results (modulo currying) and nowhere else. So, for example,

    filter  ::              (a ->   Bool) -> [a] ->   [a]
    filterM :: (Monad m) => (a -> m Bool) -> [a] -> m [a]

- A postfix '`_`' changes the result type from `(m a)` to `(m ())`. Thus, for example:

    sequence  :: Monad m => [m a] -> m [a]
    sequence_ :: Monad m => [m a] -> m ()

- A prefix '`m`' generalizes an existing function to a monadic form. Thus, for example:

    filter  ::                (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
    mfilter :: MonadPlus m => (a -> Bool) -> m a -> m a

## Basic `Monad` functions

mapM :: (Traversable t, Monad m) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m (t b) Source #

Map each element of a structure to a monadic action, evaluate these actions from left to right, and collect the results. For a version that ignores the results see `mapM_`.

#### Examples

Expand

`mapM` is literally a `traverse` with a type signature restricted to `Monad`. Its implementation may be more efficient due to additional power of `Monad`.

mapM_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m () Source #

Map each element of a structure to a monadic action, evaluate these actions from left to right, and ignore the results. For a version that doesn't ignore the results see `mapM`.

`mapM_` is just like `traverse_`, but specialised to monadic actions.

forM :: (Traversable t, Monad m) => t a -> (a -> m b) -> m (t b) Source #

`forM` is `mapM` with its arguments flipped. For a version that ignores the results see `forM_`.

forM_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => t a -> (a -> m b) -> m () Source #

`forM_` is `mapM_` with its arguments flipped. For a version that doesn't ignore the results see `forM`.

`forM_` is just like `for_`, but specialised to monadic actions.

sequence :: (Traversable t, Monad m) => t (m a) -> m (t a) Source #

Evaluate each monadic action in the structure from left to right, and collect the results. For a version that ignores the results see `sequence_`.

#### Examples

Expand

Basic usage:

The first two examples are instances where the input and and output of `sequence` are isomorphic.

    >>> sequence $ Right [1,2,3,4]
    [Right 1,Right 2,Right 3,Right 4]

    >>> sequence $ [Right 1,Right 2,Right 3,Right 4]
    Right [1,2,3,4]

The following examples demonstrate short circuit behavior for `sequence`.

    >>> sequence $ Left [1,2,3,4]
    Left [1,2,3,4]

    >>> sequence $ [Left 0, Right 1,Right 2,Right 3,Right 4]
    Left 0

sequence_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => t (m a) -> m () Source #

Evaluate each monadic action in the structure from left to right, and ignore the results. For a version that doesn't ignore the results see `sequence`.

`sequence_` is just like `sequenceA_`, but specialised to monadic actions.

(=<<) :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b infixr 1 Source #

Same as `>>=`, but with the arguments interchanged.

(>=>) :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> (b -> m c) -> a -> m c infixr 1 Source #

Left-to-right composition of Kleisli arrows.

'`(bs `>=>` cs) a`' can be understood as the `do` expression

    do b <- bs a
       cs b

(<=<) :: Monad m => (b -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> a -> m c infixr 1 Source #

Right-to-left composition of Kleisli arrows. `(`>=>`)`, with the arguments flipped.

Note how this operator resembles function composition `(`.`)`:

    (.)   ::            (b ->   c) -> (a ->   b) -> a ->   c
    (<=<) :: Monad m => (b -> m c) -> (a -> m b) -> a -> m c

forever :: Applicative f => f a -> f b Source #

Repeat an action indefinitely.

#### Examples

Expand

A common use of `forever` is to process input from network sockets, `Handle`s, and channels (e.g. `MVar` and `Chan`).

For example, here is how we might implement an echo server, using `forever` both to listen for client connections on a network socket and to echo client input on client connection handles:

    echoServer :: Socket -> IO ()
    echoServer socket = forever $ do
      client <- accept socket
      forkFinally (echo client) (\_ -> hClose client)
      where
        echo :: Handle -> IO ()
        echo client = forever $
          hGetLine client >>= hPutStrLn client

Note that "forever" isn't necessarily non-terminating. If the action is in a ``MonadPlus`` and short-circuits after some number of iterations. then ``forever`` actually returns `mzero`, effectively short-circuiting its caller.

void :: Functor f => f a -> f () Source #

``void` value` discards or ignores the result of evaluation, such as the return value of an `IO` action.

#### Examples

Expand

Replace the contents of a ``Maybe` `Int`` with unit:

    >>> void Nothing
    Nothing
    >>> void (Just 3)
    Just ()

Replace the contents of an ``Either` `Int` `Int`` with unit, resulting in an ``Either` `Int` `()``:

    >>> void (Left 8675309)
    Left 8675309
    >>> void (Right 8675309)
    Right ()

Replace every element of a list with unit:

    >>> void [1,2,3]
    [(),(),()]

Replace the second element of a pair with unit:

    >>> void (1,2)
    (1,())

Discard the result of an `IO` action:

    >>> mapM print [1,2]
    1
    2
    [(),()]
    >>> void $ mapM print [1,2]
    1
    2

## Generalisations of list functions

join :: Monad m => m (m a) -> m a Source #

The `join` function is the conventional monad join operator. It is used to remove one level of monadic structure, projecting its bound argument into the outer level.

'``join` bss`' can be understood as the `do` expression

    do bs <- bss
       bs

#### Examples

Expand

A common use of `join` is to run an `IO` computation returned from an `STM` transaction, since `STM` transactions can't perform `IO` directly. Recall that

    atomically :: STM a -> IO a

is used to run `STM` transactions atomically. So, by specializing the types of `atomically` and `join` to

    atomically :: STM (IO b) -> IO (IO b)
    join       :: IO (IO b)  -> IO b

we can compose them as

    join . atomically :: STM (IO b) -> IO b

to run an `STM` transaction and the `IO` action it returns.

msum :: (Foldable t, MonadPlus m) => t (m a) -> m a Source #

The sum of a collection of actions, generalizing `concat`.

`msum` is just like `asum`, but specialised to `MonadPlus`.

mfilter :: MonadPlus m => (a -> Bool) -> m a -> m a Source #

Direct `MonadPlus` equivalent of `filter`.

#### Examples

Expand

The `filter` function is just `mfilter` specialized to the list monad:

    filter = ( mfilter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a] )

An example using `mfilter` with the `Maybe` monad:

    >>> mfilter odd (Just 1)
    Just 1
    >>> mfilter odd (Just 2)
    Nothing

filterM :: Applicative m => (a -> m Bool) -> [a] -> m [a] Source #

This generalizes the list-based `filter` function.

mapAndUnzipM :: Applicative m => (a -> m (b, c)) -> [a] -> m ([b], [c]) Source #

The `mapAndUnzipM` function maps its first argument over a list, returning the result as a pair of lists. This function is mainly used with complicated data structures or a state monad.

zipWithM :: Applicative m => (a -> b -> m c) -> [a] -> [b] -> m [c] Source #

The `zipWithM` function generalizes `zipWith` to arbitrary applicative functors.

zipWithM_ :: Applicative m => (a -> b -> m c) -> [a] -> [b] -> m () Source #

`zipWithM_` is the extension of `zipWithM` which ignores the final result.

foldM :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => (b -> a -> m b) -> b -> t a -> m b Source #

The `foldM` function is analogous to `foldl`, except that its result is encapsulated in a monad. Note that `foldM` works from left-to-right over the list arguments. This could be an issue where `(`>>`)` and the `folded function' are not commutative.

    foldM f a1 [x1, x2, ..., xm]

    ==

    do
      a2 <- f a1 x1
      a3 <- f a2 x2
      ...
      f am xm

If right-to-left evaluation is required, the input list should be reversed.

Note: `foldM` is the same as `foldlM`

foldM_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => (b -> a -> m b) -> b -> t a -> m () Source #

Like `foldM`, but discards the result.

replicateM :: Applicative m => Int -> m a -> m [a] Source #

``replicateM` n act` performs the action `act` `n` times, and then returns the list of results:

#### Examples

Expand

    >>> import Control.Monad.State
    >>> runState (replicateM 3 $ state $ \s -> (s, s + 1)) 1
    ([1,2,3],4)

replicateM_ :: Applicative m => Int -> m a -> m () Source #

Like `replicateM`, but discards the result.

#### Examples

Expand

    >>> replicateM_ 3 (putStrLn "a")
    a
    a
    a

## Conditional execution of monadic expressions

guard :: Alternative f => Bool -> f () Source #

Conditional failure of `Alternative` computations. Defined by

    guard True  = pure ()
    guard False = empty

#### Examples

Expand

Common uses of `guard` include conditionally signaling an error in an error monad and conditionally rejecting the current choice in an `Alternative`-based parser.

As an example of signaling an error in the error monad `Maybe`, consider a safe division function `safeDiv x y` that returns `Nothing` when the denominator `y` is zero and ``Just` (x `div` y)` otherwise. For example:

    >>> safeDiv 4 0
    Nothing

    >>> safeDiv 4 2
    Just 2

A definition of `safeDiv` using guards, but not `guard`:

    safeDiv :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int
    safeDiv x y | y /= 0    = Just (x `div` y)
                | otherwise = Nothing

A definition of `safeDiv` using `guard` and `Monad` `do`-notation:

    safeDiv :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int
    safeDiv x y = do
      guard (y /= 0)
      return (x `div` y)

when :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () Source #

Conditional execution of `Applicative` expressions. For example,

    when debug (putStrLn "Debugging")

will output the string `Debugging` if the Boolean value `debug` is `True`, and otherwise do nothing.

unless :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () Source #

The reverse of `when`.

## Monadic lifting operators

liftM :: Monad m => (a1 -> r) -> m a1 -> m r Source #

Promote a function to a monad.

liftM2 :: Monad m => (a1 -> a2 -> r) -> m a1 -> m a2 -> m r Source #

Promote a function to a monad, scanning the monadic arguments from left to right. For example,

    liftM2 (+) [0,1] [0,2] = [0,2,1,3]
    liftM2 (+) (Just 1) Nothing = Nothing

liftM3 :: Monad m => (a1 -> a2 -> a3 -> r) -> m a1 -> m a2 -> m a3 -> m r Source #

Promote a function to a monad, scanning the monadic arguments from left to right (cf. `liftM2`).

liftM4 :: Monad m => (a1 -> a2 -> a3 -> a4 -> r) -> m a1 -> m a2 -> m a3 -> m a4 -> m r Source #

Promote a function to a monad, scanning the monadic arguments from left to right (cf. `liftM2`).

liftM5 :: Monad m => (a1 -> a2 -> a3 -> a4 -> a5 -> r) -> m a1 -> m a2 -> m a3 -> m a4 -> m a5 -> m r Source #

Promote a function to a monad, scanning the monadic arguments from left to right (cf. `liftM2`).

ap :: Monad m => m (a -> b) -> m a -> m b Source #

In many situations, the `liftM` operations can be replaced by uses of `ap`, which promotes function application.

    return f `ap` x1 `ap` ... `ap` xn

is equivalent to

    liftMn f x1 x2 ... xn

## Strict monadic functions

(<$!>) :: Monad m => (a -> b) -> m a -> m b infixl 4 Source #

Strict version of `<$>`.
