Description

Strict writer monads.

listens :: MonadWriter m => (WriterType m -> b) -> m a -> m (a, b)Source

censor :: MonadWriter m => (WriterType m -> WriterType m) -> m a -> m aSource

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.

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

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

execWriter :: Writer w a -> w

Extract the output from a writer computation.

```
execWriter m = snd (runWriter m)
```

mapWriter :: ((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

newtype 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.

execWriterT :: Monad m => WriterT w m a -> m w

Extract the output from a writer computation.

execWriterT m = liftM snd (runWriterT m)

mapWriterT :: (m (a, w) -> n (b, w')) -> WriterT w m a -> WriterT w' n b

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

runWriterT (mapWriterT f m) = f (runWriterT m)
