Control.Foldl

This module provides efficient and streaming left folds that you can combine using Applicative style.

Import this module qualified to avoid clashing with the Prelude:

>>> import qualified Control.Foldl as L

Use fold to apply a Fold to a list:

>>> L.fold L.sum [1..100]
5050

Folds are Applicatives, so you can combine them using Applicative combinators:

>>> import Control.Applicative
>>> let average = (/) <$> L.sum <*> L.genericLength

These combined folds will still traverse the list only once, streaming efficiently over the list in constant space without space leaks:

>>> L.fold average [1..10000000]
5000000.5
>>> L.fold ((,) <$> L.minimum <*> L.maximum) [1..10000000]
(Just 1,Just 10000000)

Fold Types

data Fold a b

Efficient representation of a left fold that preserves the fold's step function, initial accumulator, and extraction function

This allows the Applicative instance to assemble derived folds that traverse the container only once

Constructors

forall x . Fold (x -> a -> x) x (x -> b)

Instances

Functor (Fold a)

Applicative (Fold a)

Monoid b => Monoid (Fold a b)

data FoldM m a b

Like Fold, but monadic

Constructors

forall x . FoldM (x -> a -> m x) (m x) (x -> m b)

Instances

Monad m => Functor (FoldM m a)

Monad m => Applicative (FoldM m a)

(Monoid b, Monad m) => Monoid (FoldM m a b)

product :: Num a => Fold a a

Computes the product all elements

maximum :: Ord a => Fold a (Maybe a)

Computes the maximum element

minimum :: Ord a => Fold a (Maybe a)

elem :: Eq a => a -> Fold a Bool

(elem a) returns True if the container has an element equal to a, False otherwise

notElem :: Eq a => a -> Fold a Bool

(notElem a) returns False if the container has an element equal to a, True otherwise

find :: (a -> Bool) -> Fold a (Maybe a)

(find predicate) returns the first element that satisfies the predicate or Nothing if no element satisfies the predicate

index :: Int -> Fold a (Maybe a)

(index n) returns the nth element of the container, or Nothing if the container has an insufficient number of elements

elemIndex :: Eq a => a -> Fold a (Maybe Int)

(elemIndex a) returns the index of the first element that equals a, or Nothing if no element matches

findIndex :: (a -> Bool) -> Fold a (Maybe Int)

(findIndex predicate) returns the index of the first element that satisfies the predicate, or Nothing if no element satisfies the predicate

Generic Folds

genericLength :: Num b => Fold a b

Like length, except with a more general Num return value

genericIndex :: Integral i => i -> Fold a (Maybe a)

Like index, except with a more general Integral argument

Container folds

list :: Fold a [a]

Fold all values into a list

vector :: (PrimMonad m, Vector v a) => FoldM m a (v a)

Fold all values into a vector

Utilities

purely and impurely allow you to write folds compatible with the foldl library without incurring a foldl dependency. Write your fold to accept three parameters corresponding to the step function, initial accumulator, and extraction function and then users can upgrade your function to accept a Fold or FoldM using the purely or impurely combinators.

For example, the pipes library implements a foldM function in Pipes.Prelude with the following type:

 foldM
     :: Monad m
     => (x -> a -> m x) -> m x -> (x -> m b) -> Producer a m () -> m b

foldM is set up so that you can wrap it with impurely to accept a FoldM instead:

 impurely foldM :: Monad m => FoldM m a b -> Producer a m () -> m b

purely :: (forall x. (x -> a -> x) -> x -> (x -> b) -> r) -> Fold a b -> r

Upgrade a fold to accept the Fold type

impurely :: Monad m => (forall x. (x -> a -> m x) -> m x -> (x -> m b) -> r) -> FoldM m a b -> r

Upgrade a monadic fold to accept the FoldM type

generalize :: Monad m => Fold a b -> FoldM m a b

Generalize a Fold to a FoldM

simplify :: FoldM Identity a b -> Fold a b

Simplify a pure FoldM to a Fold

premap :: (a -> b) -> Fold b r -> Fold a r

(premap f folder) returns a new Fold where f is applied at each step

 fold (premap f folder) list = fold folder (map f list)

premapM :: Monad m => (a -> b) -> FoldM m b r -> FoldM m a r

(premapM f folder) returns a new FoldM where f is applied to each input element

 foldM (premapM f folder) list = foldM folder (map f list)
