Universum.Bool.Reexport
Description
This module reexports functions to work with Bool type.
Documentation
guard :: Alternative f => Bool -> f () #
Conditional failure of Alternative computations. Defined by
guard True =pure() guard False =empty
Examples
Common uses of guard include conditionally signaling an error in
an error monad and conditionally rejecting the current choice in an
Alternative-based parser.
As an example of signaling an error in the error monad Maybe,
consider a safe division function safeDiv x y that returns
Nothing when the denominator y is zero and Just (x `div`
y)
>>> safeDiv 4 0 Nothing >>> safeDiv 4 2 Just 2
A definition of safeDiv using guards, but not guard:
safeDiv :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int
safeDiv x y | y /= 0 = Just (x `div` y)
| otherwise = Nothing
A definition of safeDiv using guard and Monad do-notation:
safeDiv :: Int -> Int -> Maybe Int safeDiv x y = do guard (y /= 0) return (x `div` y)
unless :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () #
The reverse of when.
when :: Applicative f => Bool -> f () -> f () #
Conditional execution of Applicative expressions. For example,
when debug (putStrLn "Debugging")
will output the string Debugging if the Boolean value debug
is True, and otherwise do nothing.
Instances
Case analysis for the Bool type. bool x y px
when p is False, and evaluates to y when p is True.
This is equivalent to if p then y else x; that is, one can
think of it as an if-then-else construct with its arguments
reordered.
Examples
Basic usage:
>>>bool "foo" "bar" True"bar">>>bool "foo" "bar" False"foo"
Confirm that bool x y pif p then y else x are
equivalent:
>>>let p = True; x = "bar"; y = "foo">>>bool x y p == if p then y else xTrue>>>let p = False>>>bool x y p == if p then y else xTrue
