Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.CPS

The Writer monad

type Writer w = WriterT w Identity

A writer monad parameterized by the type w of output to accumulate.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.

writer :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => (a, w) -> WriterT w m a

Construct a writer computation from a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of runWriter.)

runWriter :: Monoid w => Writer w a -> (a, w)

Unwrap a writer computation as a (result, output) pair. (The inverse of writer.)

execWriter :: Monoid w => Writer w a -> w

Extract the output from a writer computation.

• execWriter m = snd (runWriter m)

mapWriter :: (Monoid w, Monoid w') => ((a, w) -> (b, w')) -> Writer w a -> Writer w' b

Map both the return value and output of a computation using the given function.

• runWriter (mapWriter f m) = f (runWriter m)

The WriterT monad transformer

data WriterT w m a

A writer monad parameterized by:

• w - the output to accumulate.
• m - The inner monad.

The return function produces the output mempty, while >>= combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend.

Writer operations

tell :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => w -> WriterT w m ()

tell w is an action that produces the output w.

listen :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m (a, w)

listen m is an action that executes the action m and adds its output to the value of the computation.

• runWriterT (listen m) = liftM (\ (a, w) -> ((a, w), w)) (runWriterT m)

listens :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => (w -> b) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m (a, b)

listens f m is an action that executes the action m and adds the result of applying f to the output to the value of the computation.

• listens f m = liftM (id *** f) (listen m)

• runWriterT (listens f m) = liftM (\ (a, w) -> ((a, f w), w)) (runWriterT m)

pass :: (Monoid w, Monoid w', Monad m) => WriterT w m (a, w -> w') -> WriterT w' m a

pass m is an action that executes the action m, which returns a value and a function, and returns the value, applying the function to the output.

• runWriterT (pass m) = liftM (\ ((a, f), w) -> (a, f w)) (runWriterT m)

censor :: (Monoid w, Monad m) => (w -> w) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w m a

censor f m is an action that executes the action m and applies the function f to its output, leaving the return value unchanged.

• censor f m = pass (liftM (\ x -> (x,f)) m)

• runWriterT (censor f m) = liftM (\ (a, w) -> (a, f w)) (runWriterT m)
