Standard types, classes and related functions
Basic data types
The Maybe type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type
Maybe aa (represented as Just aNothing). Using Maybe is a good way to
deal with errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic
measures such as error.
The Maybe type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error
monad, where all errors are represented by Nothing. A richer
error monad can be built using the Either type.
Instances
maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b Source #
The maybe function takes a default value, a function, and a Maybe
value. If the Maybe value is Nothing, the function returns the
default value. Otherwise, it applies the function to the value inside
the Just and returns the result.
Examples
Basic usage:
>>>maybe False odd (Just 3)True
>>>maybe False odd NothingFalse
Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we succeed,
return twice the integer; that is, apply (*2) to it. If instead
we fail to parse an integer, return 0 by default:
>>>import Text.Read ( readMaybe )>>>maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "5")10>>>maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "")0
Apply show to a Maybe Int. If we have Just n, we want to show
the underlying Int n. But if we have Nothing, we return the
empty string instead of (for example) "Nothing":
>>>maybe "" show (Just 5)"5">>>maybe "" show Nothing""
The Either type represents values with two possibilities: a value of
type Either a bLeft aRight b
The Either type is sometimes used to represent a value which is
either correct or an error; by convention, the Left constructor is
used to hold an error value and the Right constructor is used to
hold a correct value (mnemonic: "right" also means "correct").
Examples
The type Either String IntString or an Int. The Left constructor can be used only on
Strings, and the Right constructor can be used only on Ints:
>>>let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int>>>sLeft "foo">>>let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int>>>nRight 3>>>:type ss :: Either String Int>>>:type nn :: Either String Int
The fmap from our Functor instance will ignore Left values, but
will apply the supplied function to values contained in a Right:
>>>let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int>>>let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int>>>fmap (*2) sLeft "foo">>>fmap (*2) nRight 6
The Monad instance for Either allows us to chain together multiple
actions which may fail, and fail overall if any of the individual
steps failed. First we'll write a function that can either parse an
Int from a Char, or fail.
>>>import Data.Char ( digitToInt, isDigit )>>>:{let parseEither :: Char -> Either String Int parseEither c | isDigit c = Right (digitToInt c) | otherwise = Left "parse error">>>:}
The following should work, since both '1' and '2' can be
parsed as Ints.
>>>:{let parseMultiple :: Either String Int parseMultiple = do x <- parseEither '1' y <- parseEither '2' return (x + y)>>>:}
>>>parseMultipleRight 3
But the following should fail overall, since the first operation where
we attempt to parse 'm' as an Int will fail:
>>>:{let parseMultiple :: Either String Int parseMultiple = do x <- parseEither 'm' y <- parseEither '2' return (x + y)>>>:}
>>>parseMultipleLeft "parse error"

Case analysis for the Either type.
If the value is Left aa;
if it is Right bb.
Examples
We create two values of type Either String IntLeft constructor and another using the Right constructor. Then
we apply "either" the length function (if we have a String)
or the "times-two" function (if we have an Int):
>>>let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int>>>let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int>>>either length (*2) s3>>>either length (*2) n6
Instances
The character type Char is an enumeration whose values represent
Unicode (or equivalently ISO/IEC 10646) characters (see
http://www.unicode.org/ for details). This set extends the ISO 8859-1
(Latin-1) character set (the first 256 characters), which is itself an extension
of the ASCII character set (the first 128 characters). A character literal in
Haskell has type Char.
To convert a Char to or from the corresponding Int value defined
by Unicode, use toEnum and fromEnum from the
Enum class respectively (or equivalently ord and chr).

The Ord class is used for totally ordered datatypes.
Instances of Ord can be derived for any user-defined
datatype whose constituent types are in Ord. The declared order
of the constructors in the data declaration determines the ordering
in derived Ord instances. The Ordering datatype allows a single
comparison to determine the precise ordering of two objects.
Minimal complete definition: either compare or <=.
Using compare can be more efficient for complex types.
Methods
compare :: a -> a -> Ordering #
(<) :: a -> a -> Bool infix 4 #
(<=) :: a -> a -> Bool infix 4 #
(>) :: a -> a -> Bool infix 4 #
Instances
Class Enum defines operations on sequentially ordered types.
The enumFrom... methods are used in Haskell's translation of
arithmetic sequences.
Instances of Enum may be derived for any enumeration type (types
whose constructors have no fields). The nullary constructors are
assumed to be numbered left-to-right by fromEnum from 0 through n-1.
See Chapter 10 of the Haskell Report for more details.
For any type that is an instance of class Bounded as well as Enum,
the following should hold:
- The calls
succmaxBoundpredminBound fromEnumandtoEnumshould give a runtime error if the result value is not representable in the result type. For example,toEnum7 ::BoolenumFromandenumFromThenshould be defined with an implicit bound, thus:
enumFrom x = enumFromTo x maxBound
enumFromThen x y = enumFromThenTo x y bound
where
bound | fromEnum y >= fromEnum x = maxBound
| otherwise = minBoundMethods
the successor of a value. For numeric types, succ adds 1.
the predecessor of a value. For numeric types, pred subtracts 1.
Convert from an Int.
Convert to an Int.
It is implementation-dependent what fromEnum returns when
applied to a value that is too large to fit in an Int.
Used in Haskell's translation of [n..].
enumFromThen :: a -> a -> [a] Source #
Used in Haskell's translation of [n,n'..].
enumFromTo :: a -> a -> [a] Source #
Used in Haskell's translation of [n..m].
enumFromThenTo :: a -> a -> a -> [a] Source #
Used in Haskell's translation of [n,n'..m].
Instances
class Bounded a where Source #
The Bounded class is used to name the upper and lower limits of a
type. Ord is not a superclass of Bounded since types that are not
totally ordered may also have upper and lower bounds.
The Bounded class may be derived for any enumeration type;
minBound is the first constructor listed in the data declaration
and maxBound is the last.
Bounded may also be derived for single-constructor datatypes whose
constituent types are in Bounded.
Instances
Numbers
Numeric types
A fixed-precision integer type with at least the range [-2^29 .. 2^29-1].
The exact range for a given implementation can be determined by using
minBound and maxBound from the Bounded class.

floatRadix in the significand
floatRange :: a -> (Int, Int) Source #
a constant function, returning the lowest and highest values the exponent may assume
decodeFloat :: a -> (Integer, Int) Source #
The function decodeFloat applied to a real floating-point
number returns the significand expressed as an Integer and an
appropriately scaled exponent (an Int). If decodeFloat x(m,n), then x is equal in value to m*b^^n, where b
is the floating-point radix, and furthermore, either m and n
are both zero or else b^(d-1) <= , where abs m < b^dd is

encodeFloat :: Integer -> Int -> a Source #
encodeFloat performs the inverse of decodeFloat in the
sense that for finite x with the exception of -0.0,
uncurry encodeFloat (decodeFloat x) = xencodeFloat m nm*b^^n (or ±Infinity if overflow
occurs); usually the closer, but if m contains too many bits,
the result may be rounded in the wrong direction.
exponent corresponds to the second component of decodeFloat.
exponent 0 = 0x,
exponent x = snd (decodeFloat x) + floatDigits xx is a finite floating-point number, it is equal in value to

where b is the floating-point radix.
The behaviour is unspecified on infinite or NaN values.

pi]. It follows the Common Lisp semantics for the origin when
signed zeroes are supported. atan2 y 1y in a type
that is RealFloat, should return the same value as atan yatan2 is provided, but implementors
can provide a more accurate implementation.
Numeric functions

gcd x yx and y of which
every common factor of x and y is also a factor; for example
gcd 4 2 = 2gcd (-4) 6 = 2gcd 0 44. gcd 0 00.

preordering.)
Note: Since for signed fixed-width integer types, abs minBound < 0minBound0 or minBound

Monoids
The class of monoids (types with an associative binary operation that has an identity). Instances should satisfy the following laws:
mappend mempty x = x
mappend x mempty = x
mappend x (mappend y z) = mappend (mappend x y) z
mconcat =
foldrmappend mempty
The method names refer to the monoid of lists under concatenation, but there are many other instances.
Some types can be viewed as a monoid in more than one way,
e.g. both addition and multiplication on numbers.
In such cases we often define newtypes and make those instances
of Monoid, e.g. Sum and Product.
Methods
Identity of mappend
mappend :: a -> a -> a Source #
An associative operation
Fold a list using the monoid.
For most types, the default definition for mconcat will be
used, but the function is included in the class definition so
that an optimized version can be provided for specific types.
Instances
Monads and functors
class Functor f where Source #
The Functor class is used for types that can be mapped over.
Instances of Functor should satisfy the following laws:
fmap id == id fmap (f . g) == fmap f . fmap g
The instances of Functor for lists, Maybe and IO
satisfy these laws.
Minimal complete definition
Instances
(<$>) :: Functor f => (a -> b) -> f a -> f b infixl 4 Source #
An infix synonym for fmap.
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, <$> is function
application lifted over a Functor.
Examples
Convert from a Maybe IntMaybe Stringshow:
>>>show <$> NothingNothing>>>show <$> Just 3Just "3"
Convert from an Either Int IntEither IntString using show:
>>>show <$> Left 17Left 17>>>show <$> Right 17Right "17"
Double each element of a list:
>>>(*2) <$> [1,2,3][2,4,6]
Apply even to the second element of a pair:
>>>even <$> (2,2)(2,True)
class Functor f => Applicative f where Source #
A functor with application, providing operations to
A minimal complete definition must include implementations of these functions satisfying the following laws:
- identity
pureid<*>v = v- composition
pure(.)<*>u<*>v<*>w = u<*>(v<*>w)- homomorphism
puref<*>purex =pure(f x)- interchange
u
<*>purey =pure($y)<*>u
The other methods have the following default definitions, which may be overridden with equivalent specialized implementations:
As a consequence of these laws, the Functor instance for f will satisfy
If f is also a Monad, it should satisfy
(which implies that pure and <*> satisfy the applicative functor laws).
Methods
Lift a value.
(<*>) :: f (a -> b) -> f a -> f b infixl 4 Source #
Sequential application.
(*>) :: f a -> f b -> f b infixl 4 Source #
Sequence actions, discarding the value of the first argument.
(<*) :: f a -> f b -> f a infixl 4 Source #
Sequence actions, discarding the value of the second argument.
Instances
class Applicative m => Monad m where Source #
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.
Minimal complete definition
Methods
(>>=) :: forall a b. m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b infixl 1 Source #
Sequentially compose two actions, passing any value produced by the first as an argument to the second.
(>>) :: forall a b. m a -> m b -> m b infixl 1 Source #
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 :: String -> m a Source #
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.

sequence_ :: (Foldable t, Monad m) => t (m a) -> m () Source #
Evaluate each monadic action in the structure from left to right,
and ignore the results. For a version that doesn't ignore the
results see sequence.
As of base 4.8.0.0, sequence_ is just sequenceA_, specialized
to Monad.
(=<<) :: Monad m => (a -> m b) -> m a -> m b infixr 1 Source #
Same as >>=, but with the arguments interchanged.
Folds and traversals
class Foldable t where Source #
Data structures that can be folded.
For example, given a data type
data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a)
a suitable instance would be
instance Foldable Tree where foldMap f Empty = mempty foldMap f (Leaf x) = f x foldMap f (Node l k r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f k `mappend` foldMap f r
This is suitable even for abstract types, as the monoid is assumed
to satisfy the monoid laws. Alternatively, one could define foldr:
instance Foldable Tree where foldr f z Empty = z foldr f z (Leaf x) = f x z foldr f z (Node l k r) = foldr f (f k (foldr f z r)) l
Foldable instances are expected to satisfy the following laws:
foldr f z t = appEndo (foldMap (Endo . f) t ) z
foldl f z t = appEndo (getDual (foldMap (Dual . Endo . flip f) t)) z
fold = foldMap id
sum, product, maximum, and minimum should all be essentially
equivalent to foldMap forms, such as
sum = getSum . foldMap Sum
but may be less defined.
If the type is also a Functor instance, it should satisfy
foldMap f = fold . fmap f
which implies that
foldMap f . fmap g = foldMap (f . g)
Methods
foldMap :: Monoid m => (a -> m) -> t a -> m Source #
Map each element of the structure to a monoid, and combine the results.
foldr :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b Source #
Right-associative fold of a structure.
In the case of lists, foldr, when applied to a binary operator, a
starting value (typically the right-identity of the operator), and a
list, reduces the list using the binary operator, from right to left:
foldr f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == x1 `f` (x2 `f` ... (xn `f` z)...)
Note that, since the head of the resulting expression is produced by
an application of the operator to the first element of the list,
foldr can produce a terminating expression from an infinite list.
For a general Foldable structure this should be semantically identical
to,
foldr f z =foldrf z .toList
foldl :: (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t a -> b Source #
Left-associative fold of a structure.
In the case of lists, foldl, when applied to a binary
operator, a starting value (typically the left-identity of the operator),
and a list, reduces the list using the binary operator, from left to
right:
foldl f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == (...((z `f` x1) `f` x2) `f`...) `f` xn
Note that to produce the outermost application of the operator the
entire input list must be traversed. This means that foldl' will
diverge if given an infinite list.
Also note that if you want an efficient left-fold, you probably want to
use foldl' instead of foldl. The reason for this is that latter does
not force the "inner" results (e.g. z in the above example)
before applying them to the operator (e.g. to f x1(). This results
in a thunk chain f x2)O(n) elements long, which then must be evaluated from
the outside-in.
For a general Foldable structure this should be semantically identical
to,
foldl f z =foldlf z .toList
foldr1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> t a -> a Source #
A variant of foldr that has no base case,
and thus may only be applied to non-empty structures.
foldr1f =foldr1f .toList
foldl1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> t a -> a Source #
A variant of foldl that has no base case,
and thus may only be applied to non-empty structures.
foldl1f =foldl1f .toList
Test whether the structure is empty. The default implementation is optimized for structures that are similar to cons-lists, because there is no general way to do better.

default implementation is optimized for structures that are similar to
cons-lists, because there is no general way to do better.

maximum :: forall a. Ord a => t a -> a Source #

product :: Num a => t a -> a Source #
The product function computes the product of the numbers of a
structure.
Instances
class (Functor t, Foldable t) => Traversable t where Source #
Functors representing data structures that can be traversed from left to right.
A definition of traverse must satisfy the following laws:
- naturality
t .for every applicative transformationtraversef =traverse(t . f)t- identity
traverseIdentity = Identity- composition
traverse(Compose .fmapg . f) = Compose .fmap(traverseg) .traversef
A definition of sequenceA must satisfy the following laws:
- naturality
t .for every applicative transformationsequenceA=sequenceA.fmaptt- identity
sequenceA.fmapIdentity = Identity- composition
sequenceA.fmapCompose = Compose .fmapsequenceA.sequenceA
where an applicative transformation is a function
t :: (Applicative f, Applicative g) => f a -> g a
preserving the Applicative operations, i.e.
and the identity functor Identity and composition of functors Compose
are defined as
newtype Identity a = Identity a
instance Functor Identity where
fmap f (Identity x) = Identity (f x)
instance Applicative Identity where
pure x = Identity x
Identity f <*> Identity x = Identity (f x)
newtype Compose f g a = Compose (f (g a))
instance (Functor f, Functor g) => Functor (Compose f g) where
fmap f (Compose x) = Compose (fmap (fmap f) x)
instance (Applicative f, Applicative g) => Applicative (Compose f g) where
pure x = Compose (pure (pure x))
Compose f <*> Compose x = Compose ((<*>) <$> f <*> x)(The naturality law is implied by parametricity.)
Instances are similar to Functor, e.g. given a data type
data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a)
a suitable instance would be
instance Traversable Tree where traverse f Empty = pure Empty traverse f (Leaf x) = Leaf <$> f x traverse f (Node l k r) = Node <$> traverse f l <*> f k <*> traverse f r
This is suitable even for abstract types, as the laws for <*>
imply a form of associativity.
The superclass instances should satisfy the following:
- In the
Functorinstance,fmapshould be equivalent to traversal with the identity applicative functor (fmapDefault). - In the
Foldableinstance,foldMapshould be equivalent to traversal with a constant applicative functor (foldMapDefault).

Miscellaneous functions
const x is a unary function which evaluates to x for all inputs.
For instance,
>>>map (const 42) [0..3][42,42,42,42]
flip :: (a -> b -> c) -> b -> a -> c Source #
flip ff.
($) :: (a -> b) -> a -> b infixr 0 Source #
Application operator. This operator is redundant, since ordinary
application (f x) means the same as (f . However, $ x)$ has
low, right-associative binding precedence, so it sometimes allows
parentheses to be omitted; for example:
f $ g $ h x = f (g (h x))
It is also useful in higher-order situations, such as map ($ 0) xszipWith ($) fs xs
until :: (a -> Bool) -> (a -> a) -> a -> a Source #

error :: forall r. forall a. HasCallStack => [Char] -> a Source #

undefined :: forall r. forall a. HasCallStack => a Source #
The value of seq a b is bottom if a is bottom, and
otherwise equal to b. seq is usually introduced to
improve performance by avoiding unneeded laziness.
A note on evaluation order: the expression seq a b does
not guarantee that a will be evaluated before b.
The only guarantee given by seq is that the both a
and b will be evaluated before seq returns a value.
In particular, this means that b may be evaluated before
a. If you need to guarantee a specific order of evaluation,
you must use the function pseq from the "parallel" package.

span, applied to a predicate p and a list xs, returns a tuple where
first element is longest prefix (possibly empty) of xs of elements that
satisfy p and second element is the remainder of the list:
span (< 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == ([1,2],[3,4,1,2,3,4]) span (< 9) [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[]) span (< 0) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3])
break :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a]) Source #
break, applied to a predicate p and a list xs, returns a tuple where
first element is longest prefix (possibly empty) of xs of elements that
do not satisfy p and second element is the remainder of the list:
break (> 3) [1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4] == ([1,2,3],[4,1,2,3,4]) break (< 9) [1,2,3] == ([],[1,2,3]) break (> 9) [1,2,3] == ([1,2,3],[])
Searching lists
lookup :: Eq a => a -> [(a, b)] -> Maybe b Source #
lookup key assocs looks up a key in an association list.
Zipping and unzipping lists
unzip :: [(a, b)] -> ([a], [b]) Source #
unzip transforms a list of pairs into a list of first components
and a list of second components.
Functions on strings
lines :: String -> [String] Source #
lines breaks a string up into a list of strings at newline
characters. The resulting strings do not contain newlines.
Note that after splitting the string at newline characters, the last part of the string is considered a line even if it doesn't end with a newline. For example,
lines "" == [] lines "\n" == [""] lines "one" == ["one"] lines "one\n" == ["one"] lines "one\n\n" == ["one",""] lines "one\ntwo" == ["one","two"] lines "one\ntwo\n" == ["one","two"]
Thus lines ss.
words :: String -> [String] Source #
words breaks a string up into a list of words, which were delimited
by white space.
Converting to and from String
Converting to String
Conversion of values to readable Strings.
Derived instances of Show have the following properties, which
are compatible with derived instances of Read:
- The result of
showis a syntactically correct Haskell expression containing only constants, given the fixity declarations in force at the point where the type is declared. It contains only the constructor names defined in the data type, parentheses, and spaces. When labelled constructor fields are used, braces, commas, field names, and equal signs are also used. - If the constructor is defined to be an infix operator, then
showsPrecwill produce infix applications of the constructor. - the representation will be enclosed in parentheses if the
precedence of the top-level constructor in
xis less thand(associativity is ignored). Thus, ifdis0then the result is never surrounded in parentheses; ifdis11it is always surrounded in parentheses, unless it is an atomic expression. - If the constructor is defined using record syntax, then
showwill produce the record-syntax form, with the fields given in the same order as the original declaration.
For example, given the declarations
infixr 5 :^: data Tree a = Leaf a | Tree a :^: Tree a
the derived instance of Show is equivalent to
instance (Show a) => Show (Tree a) where
showsPrec d (Leaf m) = showParen (d > app_prec) $
showString "Leaf " . showsPrec (app_prec+1) m
where app_prec = 10
showsPrec d (u :^: v) = showParen (d > up_prec) $
showsPrec (up_prec+1) u .
showString " :^: " .
showsPrec (up_prec+1) v
where up_prec = 5Note that right-associativity of :^: is ignored. For example,
show(Leaf 1 :^: Leaf 2 :^: Leaf 3)"Leaf 1 :^: (Leaf 2 :^: Leaf 3)".
Methods
showsPrec :: Int -> a -> ShowS Source #
Convert a value to a readable String.
showsPrec should satisfy the law
showsPrec d x r ++ s == showsPrec d x (r ++ s)
Derived instances of Read and Show satisfy the following:
That is, readsPrec parses the string produced by
showsPrec, and delivers the value that showsPrec started with.
Instances
showChar :: Char -> ShowS Source #
utility function converting a Char to a show function that
simply prepends the character unchanged.
showString :: String -> ShowS Source #
utility function converting a String to a show function that
simply prepends the string unchanged.
Converting from String
Parsing of Strings, producing values.
Derived instances of Read make the following assumptions, which
derived instances of Show obey:
- If the constructor is defined to be an infix operator, then the
derived
Readinstance will parse only infix applications of the constructor (not the prefix form). - Associativity is not used to reduce the occurrence of parentheses, although precedence may be.
- If the constructor is defined using record syntax, the derived
Readwill parse only the record-syntax form, and furthermore, the fields must be given in the same order as the original declaration. - The derived
Readinstance allows arbitrary Haskell whitespace between tokens of the input string. Extra parentheses are also allowed.
For example, given the declarations
infixr 5 :^: data Tree a = Leaf a | Tree a :^: Tree a
the derived instance of Read in Haskell 2010 is equivalent to
instance (Read a) => Read (Tree a) where
readsPrec d r = readParen (d > app_prec)
(\r -> [(Leaf m,t) |
("Leaf",s) <- lex r,
(m,t) <- readsPrec (app_prec+1) s]) r
++ readParen (d > up_prec)
(\r -> [(u:^:v,w) |
(u,s) <- readsPrec (up_prec+1) r,
(":^:",t) <- lex s,
(v,w) <- readsPrec (up_prec+1) t]) r
where app_prec = 10
up_prec = 5Note that right-associativity of :^: is unused.
The derived instance in GHC is equivalent to
instance (Read a) => Read (Tree a) where
readPrec = parens $ (prec app_prec $ do
Ident "Leaf" <- lexP
m <- step readPrec
return (Leaf m))
+++ (prec up_prec $ do
u <- step readPrec
Symbol ":^:" <- lexP
v <- step readPrec
return (u :^: v))
where app_prec = 10
up_prec = 5
readListPrec = readListPrecDefaultMethods
readsPrec :: Int -> ReadS a Source #
attempts to parse a value from the front of the string, returning a list of (parsed value, remaining string) pairs. If there is no successful parse, the returned list is empty.
Derived instances of Read and Show satisfy the following:
That is, readsPrec parses the string produced by
showsPrec, and delivers the value that
showsPrec started with.
Instances
read :: Read a => String -> a Source #
The read function reads input from a string, which must be
completely consumed by the input process.
The lex function reads a single lexeme from the input, discarding
initial white space, and returning the characters that constitute the
lexeme. If the input string contains only white space, lex returns a
single successful `lexeme' consisting of the empty string. (Thus
lex "" = [("","")]lex fails (i.e. returns []).
This lexer is not completely faithful to the Haskell lexical syntax in the following respects:
- Qualified names are not handled properly
- Octal and hexadecimal numerics are not recognized as a single token
- Comments are not treated properly
Basic Input and output
A value of type IO aa.
There is really only one way to "perform" an I/O action: bind it to
Main.main in your program. When your program is run, the I/O will
be performed. It isn't possible to perform I/O from an arbitrary
function, unless that function is itself in the IO monad and called
at some point, directly or indirectly, from Main.main.
IO is a monad, so IO actions can be combined using either the do-notation
or the >> and >>= operations from the Monad class.
Simple I/O operations
Output functions
print :: Show a => a -> IO () Source #
The print function outputs a value of any printable type to the
standard output device.
Printable types are those that are instances of class Show; print
converts values to strings for output using the show operation and
adds a newline.
For example, a program to print the first 20 integers and their powers of 2 could be written as:
main = print ([(n, 2^n) | n <- [0..19]])
Input functions
getContents :: IO String Source #
The getContents operation returns all user input as a single string,
which is read lazily as it is needed
(same as hGetContents stdin).
interact :: (String -> String) -> IO () Source #
The interact function takes a function of type String->String
as its argument. The entire input from the standard input device is
passed to this function as its argument, and the resulting string is
output on the standard output device.
Files
type FilePath = String Source #
File and directory names are values of type String, whose precise
meaning is operating system dependent. Files can be opened, yielding a
handle which can then be used to operate on the contents of that file.
readFile :: FilePath -> IO String Source #
The readFile function reads a file and
returns the contents of the file as a string.
The file is read lazily, on demand, as with getContents.
writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO () Source #
The computation writeFile file str function writes the string str,
to the file file.
appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO () Source #
The computation appendFile file str function appends the string str,
to the file file.
Note that writeFile and appendFile write a literal string
to a file. To write a value of any printable type, as with print,
use the show function to convert the value to a string first.
main = appendFile "squares" (show [(x,x*x) | x <- [0,0.1..2]])
Exception handling in the I/O monad
type IOError = IOException Source #
