Data.Functor
Description
Functors: uniform action over a parameterized type, generalizing themap function on lists.
TheFunctor class is used for types that can be mapped over.Instances ofFunctor should satisfy the following laws:
fmap id == idfmap (f . g) == fmap f . fmap g
The instances ofFunctor for lists,Maybe andIOsatisfy these laws.
($>) ::Functor f => f a -> b -> f binfixl 4Source#
Flipped version of<$.
Replace the contents of a with a constantMaybeIntString:
>>>Nothing $> "foo"Nothing>>>Just 90210 $> "foo"Just "foo"
Replace the contents of an with a constantEitherIntIntString, resulting in an:EitherIntString
>>>Left 8675309 $> "foo"Left 8675309>>>Right 8675309 $> "foo"Right "foo"
Replace each element of a list with a constantString:
>>>[1,2,3] $> "foo"["foo","foo","foo"]
Replace the second element of a pair with a constantString:
>>>(1,2) $> "foo"(1,"foo")
Since: 4.7.0.0
(<$>) ::Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f binfixl 4Source#
An infix synonym forfmap.
The name of this operator is an allusion to$. Note the similarities between their types:
($) :: (a -> b) -> a -> b(<$>) :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b
Whereas$ is function application,<$> is function application lifted over aFunctor.
Convert from a to aMaybeInt usingMaybeStringshow:
>>>show <$> NothingNothing>>>show <$> Just 3Just "3"
Convert from an to anEitherIntIntEitherIntString usingshow:
>>>show <$> Left 17Left 17>>>show <$> Right 17Right "17"
Double each element of a list:
>>>(*2) <$> [1,2,3][2,4,6]
Applyeven to the second element of a pair:
>>>even <$> (2,2)(2,True)
void ::Functor f => f a -> f ()Source#
discards or ignores the result of evaluation, such as the return value of anvoid valueIO action.
Replace the contents of a with unit:MaybeInt
>>>void NothingNothing>>>void (Just 3)Just ()
Replace the contents of an with unit, resulting in anEitherIntInt:EitherInt '()'
>>>void (Left 8675309)Left 8675309>>>void (Right 8675309)Right ()
Replace every element of a list with unit:
>>>void [1,2,3][(),(),()]
Replace the second element of a pair with unit:
>>>void (1,2)(1,())
Discard the result of anIO action:
>>>mapM print [1,2]12[(),()]>>>void $ mapM print [1,2]12
