Compared to the Haskell hierarchy of number classes this provide a more flexible approach that is closer to the mathematical foundation (group, field, etc)
This try to only provide one feature per class, at the expense of the number of classes.
- class (Enum a, Eq a, Ord a, Integral a) => IsIntegral a where

class (Enum a, Eq a, Ord a, Integral a) => IsIntegral a where #
Number literals, convertible through the generic Integer type.
all number are Enum'erable, meaning that you can move to next element
class (Enum a, Eq a, Ord a, Integral a, IsIntegral a) => IsNatural a where #
Non Negative Number literals, convertible through the generic Natural type
types that have sign and can be made absolute
Represent class of things that can be added together, contains a neutral element and is commutative.
x + azero = x azero + x = x x + y = y + x
class Subtractive a where #
Represent class of things that can be subtracted.
Note that the result is not necessary of the same type as the operand depending on the actual type.
For example:
(-) :: Int -> Int -> Int (-) :: DateTime -> DateTime -> Seconds (-) :: Ptr a -> Ptr a -> PtrDiff (-) :: Natural -> Natural -> Maybe Natural
type Difference a :: * #
(-) :: a -> a -> Difference a infixl 6 #
class Multiplicative a where #
Represent class of things that can be multiplied together
x * midentity = x midentity * x = x
Identity element over multiplication
Multiplication of 2 elements that result in another element
(^) :: (IsNatural n, IDivisible n) => a -> n -> a infixr 8 #
Raise to power, repeated multiplication e.g. > a ^ 2 = a * a > a ^ 10 = (a ^ 5) * (a ^ 5) .. (^) :: (IsNatural n) => a -> n -> a
class (Additive a, Multiplicative a) => IDivisible a where #
Represent types that supports an euclidian division
(x ‘div‘ y) * y + (x ‘mod‘ y) == x
class Multiplicative a => Divisible a where #
Support for division between same types
This is likely to change to represent specific mathematic divisions
class IntegralRounding a where Source #
roundUp :: Integral n => a -> n Source #
Round up, to the next integral.
Also known as ceiling
roundDown :: Integral n => a -> n Source #
Round down, to the previous integral
Also known as floor
roundTruncate :: Integral n => a -> n Source #
Truncate to the closest integral to the fractional number closer to 0.
This is equivalent to roundUp for negative Number and roundDown for positive Number
roundNearest :: Integral n => a -> n Source #
Round to the nearest integral
roundNearest 3.6
4 > roundNearest 3.4 3
class FloatingPoint a where Source #
IEEE754 Floating Point
