Contents

Description

Strict random monads, passing a random number generator through a computation. See below for examples.

In this version, sequencing of computations is strict (but computations are not strict in the state unless you force it with seq or the like). For a lazy version with the same interface, see Control.Monad.Trans.Random.Lazy.

Synopsis

The Rand monad transformer

type Rand g = RandT g Identity Source #

A random monad parameterized by the type g of the generator to carry.

The return function leaves the generator unchanged, while >>= uses the final generator of the first computation as the initial generator of the second.

liftRand Source #

Arguments

:: (g -> (a, g))

pure random transformer

-> Rand g a

equivalent generator-passing computation

Construct a random monad computation from a function. (The inverse of runRand.)

runRand Source #

Arguments

:: Rand g a

generator-passing computation to execute

-> g

initial generator

-> (a, g)

return value and final generator

Unwrap a random monad computation as a function. (The inverse of liftRand.)

evalRand Source #

Arguments

:: Rand g a

generator-passing computation to execute

-> g

initial generator

-> a

return value of the random computation

Evaluate a random computation with the given initial generator and return the final value, discarding the final generator.

execRand Source #

Arguments

:: Rand g a

generator-passing computation to execute

-> g

initial generator

-> g

final generator

Evaluate a random computation with the given initial generator and return the final generator, discarding the final value.

mapRand :: ((a, g) -> (b, g)) -> Rand g a -> Rand g b Source #

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

withRand :: (g -> g) -> Rand g a -> Rand g a Source #

withRand f m executes action m on a generator modified by applying f.

evalRandIO :: Rand StdGen a -> IO a Source #

Evaluate a random computation in the IO monad, splitting the global standard generator to get a new one for the computation.

The RandT monad transformer

data RandT g m a Source #

A random transformer monad parameterized by:

  • g - The generator.
  • m - The inner monad.

The return function leaves the generator unchanged, while >>= uses the final generator of the first computation as the initial generator of the second.

Lifting other operations

liftCallCC :: CallCC m (a, g) (b, g) -> CallCC (RandT g m) a b Source #

In-situ lifting of a callCC operation to the new monad. This version uses the current state on entering the continuation. It does not satisfy the uniformity property (see Control.Monad.Signatures).

liftCatch :: Catch e m (a, g) -> Catch e (RandT g m) a Source #

Lift a catchE operation to the new monad.

liftListen :: Monad m => Listen w m (a, g) -> Listen w (RandT g m) a Source #

Lift a listen operation to the new monad.

liftPass :: Monad m => Pass w m (a, g) -> Pass w (RandT g m) a Source #

Lift a pass operation to the new monad.

Examples

Random monads

The die function simulates the roll of a die, picking a number between 1 and 6, inclusive, and returning it in the Rand monad transformer. Notice that this code will work with any random number generator g.

die :: (RandomGen g) => Rand g Int
die = getRandomR (1, 6)

The dice function uses replicate and sequence to simulate the roll of n dice.

dice :: (RandomGen g) => Int -> Rand g [Int]
dice n = sequence (replicate n die)

To extract a value from the Rand monad transformer, we can use evalRandIO.

main = do
  values <- evalRandIO (dice 2)
  putStrLn (show values)
