M . fmap E . Prim.accumE acc . unE {-$recursion /Recursion/ is a very important technique in FRP that is not apparent from the type signatures. Here is a prototypical example. It shows how the 'accumE' can be expressed in terms of the 'stepper' and 'apply' functions by using recursion: > accumE a e1 = mdo > let e2 = (\a f -> f a) <$> b <@> e1 > b <- stepper a e2 > return e2 (The @mdo@ notation refers to /value recursion/ in a monad. The 'MonadFix' instance for the 'Moment' class enables this kind of recursive code.) (Strictly speaking, this also means that 'accumE' is not a primitive, because it can be expressed in terms of other combinators.) This general pattern appears very often in practice: A Behavior (here @b@) controls what value is put into an Event (here @e2@), but at the same time, the Event contributes to changes in this Behavior. Modeling this situation requires recursion. For another example, consider a vending machine that sells banana juice. The amount that the customer still has to pay for a juice is modeled by a Behavior @bAmount@. Whenever the customer inserts a coin into the machine, an Event @eCoin@ occurs, and the amount will be reduced. Whenver the amount goes below zero, an Event @eSold@ will occur, indicating the release of a bottle of fresh banana juice, and the amount to be paid will be reset to the original price. The model requires recursion, and can be expressed in code as follows: > mdo > let price = 50 :: Int > bAmount <- accumB price $ unions > [ subtract 10 <$ eCoin > , const price <$ eSold ] > let eSold = whenE ((<= 0) <$> bAmount) eCoin On one hand, the Behavior @bAmount@ controls whether the Event @eSold@ occcurs at all; the bottle of banana juice is unavailable to penniless customers. But at the same time, the Event @eSold@ will cause a reset of the Behavior @bAmount@, so both depend on each other. Recursive code like this examples works thanks to the semantics of 'stepper'. In general, /mutual recursion/ between several 'Event's and 'Behavior's is always well-defined, as long as an Event depends on itself only /via/ a Behavior, and vice versa. -} -- | Obtain the value of the 'Behavior' at a given moment in time. -- Semantically, it corresponds to -- -- > valueB b = \time -> b time -- -- Note: The value is immediately available for pattern matching. -- Unfortunately, this means that @valueB@ is unsuitable for use -- with value recursion in the 'Moment' monad. -- If you need recursion, please use 'valueBLater' instead. valueB :: MonadMoment m => Behavior a -> m a valueB = liftMoment .
