If the input is a __@Tree a@__, each output __@Tree b@__ has the -- same graph of intermediate nodes and leaves. Similarly, if the input is a -- 2-tuple __@(x, a)@__, each output is a 2-tuple __@(x, b)@__, and so forth. -- -- It is in fact possible to decompose a traversable structure __@t a@__ into -- its shape (a.k.a. /spine/) of type __@t ()@__ and its element list -- __@[a]@__. The original structure can be faithfully reconstructed from its -- spine and element list. -- -- The implementation of a @Traversable@ instance for a given structure follows -- naturally from its type; see the [Construction](#construction) section for -- details. -- Instances must satisfy the laws listed in the [Laws section](#laws). -- The diverse uses of @Traversable@ structures result from the many possible -- choices of Applicative effects. -- See the [Advanced Traversals](#advanced) section for some examples. -- -- Every @Traversable@ structure is both a 'Functor' and 'Foldable' because it -- is possible to implement the requisite instances in terms of 'traverse' by -- using 'fmapDefault' for 'fmap' and 'foldMapDefault' for 'foldMap'. Direct -- fine-tuned implementations of these superclass methods can in some cases be -- more efficient. ------------------ -- $traverse -- For an 'Applicative' functor __@f@__ and a @Traversable@ functor __@t@__, -- the type signatures of 'traverse' and 'fmap' are rather similar: -- -- > fmap :: (a -> f b) -> t a -> t (f b) -- > traverse :: (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b) -- -- The key difference is that 'fmap' produces a structure whose elements (of -- type __@f b@__) are individual effects, while 'traverse' produces an -- aggregate effect yielding structures of type __@t b@__. -- -- For example, when __@f@__ is the __@IO@__ monad, and __@t@__ is __@List@__, -- 'fmap' yields a list of IO actions, whereas 'traverse' constructs an IO -- action that evaluates to a list of the return values of the individual -- actions performed left-to-right. -- -- > traverse :: (a -> IO b) -> [a] -> IO [b] -- -- The 'mapM' function is a specialisation of 'traverse' to the case when -- __@f@__ is a 'Monad'. For monads, 'mapM' is more idiomatic than 'traverse'. -- The two are otherwise generally identical (though 'mapM' may be specifically -- optimised for monads, and could be more efficient than using the more -- general 'traverse'). -- -- > traverse :: (Applicative f, Traversable t) => (a -> f b) -> t a -> f (t b) -- > mapM :: (Monad m, Traversable t) => (a -> m b) -> t a -> m (t b) -- -- When the traversable term is a simple variable or expression, and the -- monadic action to run is a non-trivial do block, it can be more natural to -- write the action last. This idiom is supported by 'for' and 'forM', which -- are the flipped versions of 'traverse' and 'mapM', respectively. ------------------ -- $multiplicity -- -- #multiplicity# -- When 'traverse' or 'mapM' is applied to an empty structure __@ts@__ (one for -- which __@'null' ts@__ is 'True') the return value is __@pure ts@__ -- regardless of the provided function __@g :: a -> f b@__. It is not possible -- to apply the function when no values of type __@a@__ are available, but its -- type determines the relevant instance of 'pure'. -- -- prop> null ts ==> traverse g ts == pure ts -- -- Otherwise, when __@ts@__ is non-empty and at least one value of type __@b@__ -- results from each __@f a@__, the structures __@t b@__ have /the same shape/ -- (list length, graph of tree nodes, ...) as the input structure __@t a@__, -- but the slots previously occupied by elements of type __@a@__ now hold -- elements of type __@b@__. -- -- A single traversal may produce one, zero or many such structures. The zero -- case happens when one of the effects __@f a@__ sequenced as part of the -- traversal yields no replacement values. Otherwise, the many case happens -- when one of sequenced effects yields multiple values. -- -- The 'traverse' function does not perform selective filtering of slots in the -- output structure as with e.g. 'Data.Maybe.mapMaybe'. -- -- >>> let incOdd n = if odd n then Just $ n + 1 else Nothing -- >>> mapMaybe incOdd [1, 2, 3] -- [2,4] -- >>> traverse incOdd [1, 3, 5] -- Just [2,4,6] -- >>> traverse incOdd [1, 2, 3] -- Nothing -- -- In the above examples, with 'Maybe' as the 'Applicative' __@f@__, we see -- that the number of __@t b@__ structures produced by 'traverse' may differ -- from one: it is zero when the result short-circuits to __@Nothing@__. The -- same can happen when __@f@__ is __@List@__ and the result is __@[]@__, or -- __@f@__ is __@Either e@__ and the result is __@Left (x :: e)@__, or perhaps -- the 'Control.Applicative.empty' value of some -- 'Control.Applicative.Alternative' functor. -- -- When __@f@__ is e.g. __@List@__, and the map __@g :: a -> [b]@__ returns -- more than one value for some inputs __@a@__ (and at least one for all -- __@a@__), the result of __@mapM g ts@__ will contain multiple structures of -- the same shape as __@ts@__: -- -- prop> length (mapM g ts) == product (fmap (length . g) ts) -- -- For example: -- -- >>> length $ mapM (\n -> [1..n]) [1..6] -- 720 -- >>> product $ length .

These are 'traverse_' and 'mapM_', and their flipped variants -- 'for_' and 'forM_', respectively. The result type is __@f ()@__, they don't -- return an updated structure, and can be used to sequence effects over all -- the elements of a @Traversable@ (any 'Foldable') structure just for their -- side-effects. -- -- If the @Traversable@ structure is empty, the result is __@pure ()@__.
