Passes the result of the left side to the function on the right side (forward pipe operator).

This is the flipped version of ($), which is more common in languages like F# as (|>) where it is needed for inference. Here it is supplied for notational convenience and given a precedence that allows it to be nested inside uses of ($).

>>> a & f
f a

>>> "hello" & length & succ
6

This combinator is commonly used when applying multiple Lens operations in sequence.

>>> ("hello","world") & _1.element 0 .~ 'j' & _1.element 4 .~ 'y'
("jelly","world")

This reads somewhat similar to:

>>> flip execState ("hello","world") $ do _1.element 0 .= 'j'; _1.element 4 .= 'y'
("jelly","world")

Replace the target of a Lens or all of the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a constant value.

This is an infix version of set, provided for consistency with (.=).

f <$ a ≡ mapped .~ f $ a

>>> (a,b,c,d) & _4 .~ e
(a,b,c,e)

>>> (42,"world") & _1 .~ "hello"
("hello","world")

>>> (a,b) & both .~ c
(c,c)

(.~) :: Iso s t a b       -> b -> s -> t
(.~) :: Lens s t a b      -> b -> s -> t
(.~) :: Traversal s t a b -> b -> s -> t

Modifies the target of a Lens or all of the targets of a Setter or Traversal with a user supplied function.

This is an infix version of over.

fmap f ≡ mapped %~ f
fmapDefault f ≡ traverse %~ f

>>> (a,b,c) & _3 %~ f
(a,b,f c)

>>> (a,b) & both %~ f
(f a,f b)

>>> _2 %~ length $ (1,"hello")
(1,5)

>>> traverse %~ f $ [a,b,c]
[f a,f b,f c]

>>> traverse %~ even $ [1,2,3]
[False,True,False]

>>> traverse.traverse %~ length $ [["hello","world"],["!!!"]]
[[5,5],[3]]

A functor with application, providing operations to

• embed pure expressions (pure), and
• sequence computations and combine their results (<*>).

A minimal complete definition must include implementations of these functions satisfying the following laws:

identity

pure id <*> v = v

composition

pure (.) <*> u <*> v <*> w = u <*> (v <*> w)

homomorphism

pure f <*> pure x = pure (f x)

interchange

u <*> pure y = pure ($ y) <*> u

The other methods have the following default definitions, which may be overridden with equivalent specialized implementations:

• u *> v = pure (const id) <*> u <*> v

• u <* v = pure const <*> u <*> v

As a consequence of these laws, the Functor instance for f will satisfy

• fmap f x = pure f <*> x

If f is also a Monad, it should satisfy

• pure = return

• (<*>) = ap

(which implies that pure and <*> satisfy the applicative functor laws).

Sequence actions, discarding the value of the first argument.

Sequence actions, discarding the value of the second argument.

An infix synonym for fmap.

Replace all locations in the input with the same value. The default definition is fmap . const, but this may be overridden with a more efficient version.

Lift a function to actions. This function may be used as a value for fmap in a Functor instance.

Lift a binary function to actions.

Lift a ternary function to actions.
