Data.Semigroup

Contents

Description

In mathematics, a semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of a set together with an associative binary operation. A semigroup generalizes a monoid in that there might not exist an identity element. It also (originally) generalized a group (a monoid with all inverses) to a type where every element did not have to have an inverse, thus the name semigroup.

The use of (<>) in this module conflicts with an operator with the same name that is being exported by Data.Monoid. However, this package re-exports (most of) the contents of Data.Monoid, so to use semigroups and monoids in the same package just

 import Data.Semigroup

Synopsis

Documentation

class Semigroup a whereSource

Methods

(<>) :: a -> a -> aSource

An associative operation.

 (a <> b) <> c = a <> (b <> c)

If a is also a Monoid we further require

 (<>) = mappend

sconcat :: NonEmpty a -> aSource

Reduce a non-empty list with <>

The default definition should be sufficient, but this can be overridden for efficiency.

times1p :: Whole n => n -> a -> aSource

Repeat a value (n + 1) times.

 times1p n a = a <> a <> ... <> a  -- using <> n times

The default definition uses peasant multiplication, exploiting associativity to only require O(log n) uses of <>.

See also times.

Re-exported monoids from Data.Monoid

class Monoid a where

The class of monoids (types with an associative binary operation that has an identity). Instances should satisfy the following laws:

  • mappend mempty x = x
  • mappend x mempty = x
  • mappend x (mappend y z) = mappend (mappend x y) z
  • mconcat = foldr mappend mempty

The method names refer to the monoid of lists under concatenation, but there are many other instances.

Minimal complete definition: mempty and mappend.

Some types can be viewed as a monoid in more than one way, e.g. both addition and multiplication on numbers. In such cases we often define newtypes and make those instances of Monoid, e.g. Sum and Product.

Methods

mempty :: a

Identity of mappend

mappend :: a -> a -> a

An associative operation

mconcat :: [a] -> a

Fold a list using the monoid. For most types, the default definition for mconcat will be used, but the function is included in the class definition so that an optimized version can be provided for specific types.

Instances

Monoid Ordering 
Monoid () 
Monoid All 
Monoid Any 
Monoid ByteString 
Monoid ByteString 
Monoid IntSet

Monoid (Endo a) 
Num a => Monoid (Sum a) 
Num a => Monoid (Product a) 
Monoid (First a) 
Monoid (Last a) 
Monoid a => Monoid (Maybe a)

Lift a semigroup into Maybe forming a Monoid according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monoid: "Any semigroup S may be turned into a monoid simply by adjoining an element e not in S and defining e*e = e and e*s = s = s*e for all s ∈ S." Since there is no "Semigroup" typeclass providing just mappend, we use Monoid instead.

A better monoid for Maybe

newtype Option a Source

Option is effectively Maybe with a better instance of Monoid, built off of an underlying Semigroup instead of an underlying Monoid. Ideally, this type would not exist at all and we would just fix the Monoid intance of Maybe

Constructors

Option 

Fields

getOption :: Maybe a
 

option :: b -> (a -> b) -> Option a -> bSource

Fold an Option case-wise, just like maybe.

Difference lists of a semigroup

diff :: Semigroup m => m -> Endo mSource

This lets you use a difference list of a Semigroup as a Monoid.

cycle1 :: Semigroup m => m -> mSource

A generalization of cycle to an arbitrary Semigroup. May fail to terminate for some values in some semigroups.
