GHC.IsList

Description

Since: base-4.17.0.0

Synopsis

Documentation

class IsList l where Source #

The IsList class and its methods are intended to be used in conjunction with the OverloadedLists extension.

Since: base-4.7.0.0

Minimal complete definition

fromList, toList

Associated Types

type Item l Source #

The Item type function returns the type of items of the structure l.

Methods

fromList :: [Item l] -> l Source #

The fromList function constructs the structure l from the given list of Item l

fromListN :: Int -> [Item l] -> l Source #

The fromListN function takes the input list's length and potentially uses it to construct the structure l more efficiently compared to fromList. If the given number does not equal to the input list's length the behaviour of fromListN is not specified.

fromListN (length xs) xs == fromList xs

toList :: l -> [Item l] Source #

The toList function extracts a list of Item l from the structure l. It should satisfy fromList . toList = id.
