data Void Source

A logically uninhabited data type.

Instances

absurd :: Void -> aSource

Since Void values logically don't exist, this witnesses the logical reasoning tool of "ex falso quodlibet".

vacuous :: Functor f => f Void -> f aSource

If Void is uninhabited then any Functor that holds only values of type Void is holding no values.

vacuousM :: Monad m => m Void -> m aSource

If Void is uninhabited then any Monad that holds values of type Void is holding no values.
