class Applicative m => Monad m where #
The Monad
class defines the basic operations over a monad,
a concept from a branch of mathematics known as category theory.
From the perspective of a Haskell programmer, however, it is best to
think of a monad as an abstract datatype of actions.
Haskell's do
expressions provide a convenient syntax for writing
monadic expressions.
Instances of Monad
should satisfy the following laws:
Furthermore, the Monad
and Applicative
operations should relate as follows:
The above laws imply:
and that pure
and (<*>
) satisfy the applicative functor laws.
The instances of Monad
for lists, Maybe
and IO
defined in the Prelude satisfy these laws.
(>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b infixl 1 #
Sequentially compose two actions, passing any value produced by the first as an argument to the second.
(>>) :: m a -> m b -> m b infixl 1 #
Sequentially compose two actions, discarding any value produced by the first, like sequencing operators (such as the semicolon) in imperative languages.
Inject a value into the monadic type.
Fail with a message. This operation is not part of the
mathematical definition of a monad, but is invoked on pattern-match
failure in a do
expression.
As part of the MonadFail proposal (MFP), this function is moved
to its own class MonadFail
(see Control.Monad.Fail for more
details). The definition here will be removed in a future
release.
class (Alternative m, Monad m) => MonadPlus m where #
Monads that also support choice and failure.
the identity of mplus
. It should also satisfy the equations
mzero >>= f = mzero v >> mzero = mzero
an associative operation
(=<<) :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b infixr 1 #
Same as >>=
, but with the arguments interchanged.
(>=>) :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> (b -> m c) -> a -> m c infixr 1 #
Left-to-right Kleisli composition of monads.
forever :: Applicative f => f a -> f b #
repeats the action infinitely.forever
act
join :: Monad m => m (m a) -> m a #
The join
function is the conventional monad join operator. It
is used to remove one level of monadic structure, projecting its
bound argument into the outer level.
when :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () #
Conditional execution of Applicative
expressions. For example,
when debug (putStrLn "Debugging")
will output the string Debugging
if the Boolean value debug
is True
, and otherwise do nothing.
unless :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () #
The reverse of when
.
