-- Hoogle documentation, generated by Haddock -- See Hoogle, http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ -- | A version of Prelude suitable for teaching. -- -- The design goals are to simplify considerably the Prelude library so -- that basic functional programming can be taught without having to -- explain type classes. I have observed in several years of teaching -- Haskell that many beginner mistakes which in a language like ML would -- result in a clear error message instead result in an error message -- about a lack of type class instances. This is unfortunate as type -- classes cannot easily be taught immediately and so beginners are left -- without as much support until they learn more topics. FirstPrelude is -- designed to simplify away as much of this as possible by using very -- few type classes and making a few other simplifying choices. The goal -- is then for students to switch to regular Prelude later in the course. -- A synposis of the changes can be found on the project homepage. @package FirstPrelude @version 0.1.2.0 -- | FirstPrelude is a non-exhaustive replacement for Prelude aimed at -- absolute beginners to Haskell. It largely tries to bypass the need for -- type classes (arithmetic is specialised to Integers), it provides some -- simplifications to Prelude, and provides some custom error messages. module FirstPrelude ifThenElse :: Bool -> a -> a -> a data Bool False :: Bool True :: Bool -- | Boolean "and", lazy in the second argument (&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 3 && -- | Boolean "or", lazy in the second argument (||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 2 || -- | Boolean "not" not :: Bool -> Bool -- | otherwise is defined as the value True. It helps to make -- guards more readable. eg. -- --
--   f x | x < 0     = ...
--       | otherwise = ...
--   
otherwise :: Bool -- | The Maybe type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type -- Maybe a either contains a value of type a -- (represented as Just a), or it is empty (represented -- as Nothing). Using Maybe is a good way to deal with -- errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic measures such -- as error. -- -- The Maybe type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error -- monad, where all errors are represented by Nothing. A richer -- error monad can be built using the Either type. data Maybe a Nothing :: Maybe a Just :: a -> Maybe a -- | The maybe function takes a default value, a function, and a -- Maybe value. If the Maybe value is Nothing, the -- function returns the default value. Otherwise, it applies the function -- to the value inside the Just and returns the result. -- --

Examples

-- -- Basic usage: -- --
--   >>> maybe False odd (Just 3)
--   True
--   
-- --
--   >>> maybe False odd Nothing
--   False
--   
-- -- Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we succeed, -- return twice the integer; that is, apply (*2) to it. If -- instead we fail to parse an integer, return 0 by default: -- --
--   >>> import Text.Read ( readMaybe )
--   
--   >>> maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "5")
--   10
--   
--   >>> maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "")
--   0
--   
-- -- Apply show to a Maybe Int. If we have Just n, -- we want to show the underlying Int n. But if we have -- Nothing, we return the empty string instead of (for example) -- "Nothing": -- --
--   >>> maybe "" show (Just 5)
--   "5"
--   
--   >>> maybe "" show Nothing
--   ""
--   
maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b -- | The Either type represents values with two possibilities: a -- value of type Either a b is either Left -- a or Right b. -- -- The Either type is sometimes used to represent a value which is -- either correct or an error; by convention, the Left constructor -- is used to hold an error value and the Right constructor is -- used to hold a correct value (mnemonic: "right" also means "correct"). -- --

Examples

-- -- The type Either String Int is the type -- of values which can be either a String or an Int. The -- Left constructor can be used only on Strings, and the -- Right constructor can be used only on Ints: -- --
--   >>> let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int
--   
--   >>> s
--   Left "foo"
--   
--   >>> let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int
--   
--   >>> n
--   Right 3
--   
--   >>> :type s
--   s :: Either String Int
--   
--   >>> :type n
--   n :: Either String Int
--   
-- -- The fmap from our Functor instance will ignore -- Left values, but will apply the supplied function to values -- contained in a Right: -- --
--   >>> let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int
--   
--   >>> let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int
--   
--   >>> fmap (*2) s
--   Left "foo"
--   
--   >>> fmap (*2) n
--   Right 6
--   
-- -- The Monad instance for Either allows us to chain -- together multiple actions which may fail, and fail overall if any of -- the individual steps failed. First we'll write a function that can -- either parse an Int from a Char, or fail. -- --
--   >>> import Data.Char ( digitToInt, isDigit )
--   
--   >>> :{
--       let parseEither :: Char -> Either String Int
--           parseEither c
--             | isDigit c = Right (digitToInt c)
--             | otherwise = Left "parse error"
--   
--   >>> :}
--   
-- -- The following should work, since both '1' and '2' -- can be parsed as Ints. -- --
--   >>> :{
--       let parseMultiple :: Either String Int
--           parseMultiple = do
--             x <- parseEither '1'
--             y <- parseEither '2'
--             return (x + y)
--   
--   >>> :}
--   
-- --
--   >>> parseMultiple
--   Right 3
--   
-- -- But the following should fail overall, since the first operation where -- we attempt to parse 'm' as an Int will fail: -- --
--   >>> :{
--       let parseMultiple :: Either String Int
--           parseMultiple = do
--             x <- parseEither 'm'

--             return (x + y)

Examples
