-- | This module provides the 'POrder' and related classes module Data.POrder where import Data.Monoid import qualified Data.Set as S import Numeric.Natural import Data.Function -- | This class indicates that the type @a@ is partially ordered by some relation ⊑. -- -- The class does not actually have a method for ⊑, because we do not need it at runtime. -- Nevertheless the order better exists for the safety of this API. -- -- This order may be unrelated to the total order given by 'Ord'. class POrder a where -- | The `eqOfLe` method checks _related_ elements for equality. -- -- Formally: For all @x ⊑ y@, @eqOfLe x y == True@ iff @x == y@. -- -- This can be more efficient than testing for equality. For example for -- sets, '(==)' needs to compare the elements, but @eqOfLe@ only needs to -- compare sizes. It is always ok to use '(==)' here. eqOfLe :: a -> a -> Bool -- | A class indicating that the type @a@ is has a bottom -- element. class Bottom a where bottom :: a -- | A class indicating that the type @a@ is has a top -- element. class POrder a => Top a where top :: a -- | The dual order instance POrder a => POrder (Dual a) where eqOfLe (Dual x) (Dual y) = eqOfLe y x -- | Bottom is the 'top' of @a@ instance Top a => Bottom (Dual a) where bottom = Dual top -- Annoyingly, we have to give all instances here, to avoid orphans -- | Arbitrary using the @False < True@ order instance POrder Bool where eqOfLe = (==) -- | Bottom is 'False' instance Bottom Bool where bottom = False -- | Top is 'True' instance Top Bool where top = True -- | Ordered by 'S.subsetOf' instance POrder (S.Set a) where eqOfLe = (==) `on` S.size -- | Bottom is 'S.empty' instance Bottom (S.Set a) where bottom = S.empty -- | Ordered by '(<=)f' instance POrder Natural where eqOfLe = (==) -- | Bottom is 0 instance Bottom Natural where bottom = 0 -- | Adds 'Nothing' as a least element to an existing partial order instance POrder a => POrder (Maybe a) where eqOfLe Nothing Nothing = True eqOfLe Nothing (Just _) = False eqOfLe (Just x) (Just y) = eqOfLe x y eqOfLe (Just _) Nothing = error "eqOfLe/Maybe used with unrelated arguments" -- | Bottom is 'Nothing' instance POrder a => Bottom (Maybe a) where bottom = Nothing
