Data.COrdering

Description

This module defines a useful variant of the Prelude Ordering data type.

Typically this data type is used as the result of a "combining comparison" which combines values that are deemed to be equal (somehow). Note that the functions defined here adhere to the same ordering convention as the overloaded compare (from the Ord class):

a `compare` b -> LT (or Lt) implies a < b
a `compare` b -> GT (or Gt) implies a > b

The combinators exported from this module have a CC suffix if they return a combining comparison (most of them) and a C suffix if they return an ordinary comparison. All the combinators defined here are INLINEd, in the hope that the compiler can avoid the overhead of using HOFs for frequently used comparisons.

Useful combinators

unitCC :: Ord a => a -> a -> COrdering () Source #

A combining comparison for an instance of Ord which returns unit () where appropriate.

unitByCC :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> a -> b -> COrdering () Source #

Create a combining comparison from an ordinary comparison by returning unit () where appropriate.

fstCC :: Ord a => a -> a -> COrdering a Source #

A combining comparison for an instance of Ord which keeps the first argument if they are deemed equal. The second argument is discarded in this case.

fstByCC :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> a -> b -> COrdering a Source #

Create a combining comparison from an ordinary comparison by keeping the first argument if they are deemed equal. The second argument is discarded in this case.

sndCC :: Ord a => a -> a -> COrdering a Source #

A combining comparison for an instance of Ord which keeps the second argument if they are deemed equal. The first argument is discarded in this case.

sndByCC :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> a -> b -> COrdering b Source #

Create a combining comparison from an ordinary comparison by keeping the second argument if they are deemed equal. The first argument is discarded in this case.

flipC :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> b -> a -> Ordering Source #

Converts a comparison to one which takes arguments in flipped order, but preserves the ordering that would be given by the "unflipped" version (disregarding type issues). So it's not the same as using the prelude flip (which would reverse the ordering too).

flipCC :: (a -> b -> COrdering c) -> b -> a -> COrdering c Source #

Converts a combining comparison to one which takes arguments in flipped order, but preserves the ordering that would be given by the "unflipped" version (disregarding type issues). So it's not the same as using the prelude flip (which would reverse the ordering too).

For combining "equal" values with a user supplied function

withCC :: Ord a => (a -> a -> b) -> a -> a -> COrdering b Source #

Create a combining comparison using the supplied combining function, which is applied if compare returns EQ. See withCC' for a stricter version of this function.

withCC' :: Ord a => (a -> a -> b) -> a -> a -> COrdering b Source #

Same as withCC, except the combining function is applied strictly.

withByCC :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b -> c) -> a -> b -> COrdering c Source #

Create a combining comparison using the supplied comparison and combining function, which is applied if the comparison returns EQ. See withByCC' for a stricter version of this function.

withByCC' :: (a -> b -> Ordering) -> (a -> b -> c) -> a -> b -> COrdering c Source #

Same as withByCC, except the combining function is applied strictly.
