Basic data types
data Bool
The `Bool` type is an enumeration. It is defined with `False` first so that the corresponding `Enum` instance will give `fromEnum` `False` the value zero, and `fromEnum` `True` the value 1.
Constructors
False |
True |
Instances
IArray UArray Bool
Ix ix => Eq (UArray ix Bool)
Ix ix => Ord (UArray ix Bool)
(Ix ix, Show ix) => Show (UArray ix Bool)
MArray (STUArray s) Bool (ST s)
MArray IOUArray Bool IO
Data Bool
Typeable Bool
Storable Bool
Ix Bool

Ord Bool
Bounded Bool
Enum Bool
Read Bool
Show Bool
Random Bool
(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
Boolean "and"
(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
Boolean "or"
not :: Bool -> Bool
Boolean "not"
otherwise :: Bool
`otherwise` is defined as the value `True`. It helps to make guards more readable. eg.
      f x | x < 0     = ...
          | otherwise = ...
data Maybe a
The `Maybe` type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type ``Maybe` a` either contains a value of type `a` (represented as ``Just` a`), or it is empty (represented as `Nothing`). Using `Maybe` is a good way to deal with errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic measures such as `error`. The `Maybe` type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error monad, where all errors are represented by `Nothing`. A richer error monad can be built using the `Either` type.
Constructors
Nothing |
Just a |
Instances
MonadPlus Maybe
MonadFix Maybe
Data a => Data (Maybe a)
Functor Maybe
Monad Maybe
Eq a => Eq (Maybe a)
Ord a => Ord (Maybe a)
Typeable a => Typeable (Maybe a)
Read a => Read (Maybe a)
Show a => Show (Maybe a)
maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b
The `maybe` function takes a default value, a function, and a `Maybe` value. If the `Maybe` value is `Nothing`, the function returns the default value. Otherwise, it applies the function to the value inside the `Just` and returns that.
data Either a b
The `Either` type represents values with two possibilities: a value of type ``Either` a b` is either ``Left` a` or ``Right` b`. The `Either` type is sometimes used to represent a value which is either correct or an error; by convention, the `Left` constructor is used to hold an error value and the `Right` constructor is used to hold a correct value (mnemonic: "right" also means "correct").
Constructors
Left a |
Right b |
Instances
Functor (Either e)
Error e => Monad (Either e)
Error e => MonadPlus (Either e)
Error e => MonadFix (Either e)
Error e => MonadError e (Either e)
(Eq a, Eq b) => Eq (Either a b)
(Ord a, Ord b) => Ord (Either a b)
(Data a, Data b) => Data (Either a b)
(Typeable a, Typeable b) => Typeable (Either a b)
(Read a, Read b) => Read (Either a b)
(Show a, Show b) => Show (Either a b)
either :: (a -> c) -> (b -> c) -> Either a b -> c
Case analysis for the `Either` type. If the value is ``Left` a`, apply the first function to `a`; if it is ``Right` b`, apply the second function to `b`.
data Ordering
Represents an ordering relationship between two values: less than, equal to, or greater than. An `Ordering` is returned by `compare`.

data Char
The character type `Char` is an enumeration whose values represent Unicode (or equivalently ISO 10646) characters. This set extends the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set (the first 256 charachers), which is itself an extension of the ASCII character set (the first 128 characters). A character literal in Haskell has type `Char`. To convert a `Char` to or from the corresponding `Int` value defined by Unicode, use `toEnum` and `fromEnum` from the `Enum` class respectively (or equivalently `ord` and `chr`).

Basic type classes
class Eq a where
The `Eq` class defines equality (`==`) and inequality (`/=`). All the basic datatypes exported by the Prelude are instances of `Eq`, and `Eq` may be derived for any datatype whose constituents are also instances of `Eq`. Minimal complete definition: either `==` or `/=`.

Monads and functors
class Monad m where
The `Monad` class defines the basic operations over a monad. Instances of `Monad` should satisfy the following laws:
     return a >>= k  ==  k a
     m >>= return  ==  m
     m >>= (\x -> k x >>= h)  ==  (m >>= k) >>= h
Instances of both `Monad` and `Functor` should additionally satisfy the law:
     fmap f xs  ==  xs >>= return . f
The instances of `Monad` for lists, Maybe and IO defined in the Prelude satisfy these laws.

List operations
map :: (a -> b) -> [a] -> [b]
`map` `f xs` is the list obtained by applying `f` to each element of `xs`, i.e.,
     map f [x1, x2, ..., xn] == [f x1, f x2, ..., f xn]
     map f [x1, x2, ...] == [f x1, f x2, ...]
(++) :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]
Append two lists, i.e.,
     [x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ..., yn] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ..., yn]
     [x1, ..., xm] ++ [y1, ...] == [x1, ..., xm, y1, ...]
If the first list is not finite, the result is the first list.
filter :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
`filter`, applied to a predicate and a list, returns the list of those elements that satisfy the predicate; i.e.,
     filter p xs = [ x | x <- xs, p x]
head :: [a] -> a
Extract the first element of a list, which must be non-empty.
last :: [a] -> a
Extract the last element of a list, which must be finite and non-empty.
tail :: [a] -> [a]
Extract the elements after the head of a list, which must be non-empty.
init :: [a] -> [a]
Return all the elements of a list except the last one. The list must be finite and non-empty.
null :: [a] -> Bool
Test whether a list is empty.
length :: [a] -> Int
`length` returns the length of a finite list as an `Int`. It is an instance of the more general `genericLength`, the result type of which may be any kind of number.
(!!) :: [a] -> Int -> a
List index (subscript) operator, starting from 0. It is an instance of the more general `genericIndex`, which takes an index of any integral type.
reverse :: [a] -> [a]
`reverse` `xs` returns the elements of `xs` in reverse order. `xs` must be finite.
Reducing lists (folds)
foldl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
`foldl`, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically the left-identity of the operator), and a list, reduces the list using the binary operator, from left to right:
     foldl f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == (...((z `f` x1) `f` x2) `f`...) `f` xn
The list must be finite.
foldl1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> a
`foldl1` is a variant of `foldl` that has no starting value argument, and thus must be applied to non-empty lists.
foldr :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> [a] -> b
`foldr`, applied to a binary operator, a starting value (typically the right-identity of the operator), and a list, reduces the list using the binary operator, from right to left:
     foldr f z [x1, x2, ..., xn] == x1 `f` (x2 `f` ... (xn `f` z)...)
foldr1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> a
`foldr1` is a variant of `foldr` that has no starting value argument, and thus must be applied to non-empty lists.
Special folds
and :: [Bool] -> Bool
`and` returns the conjunction of a Boolean list. For the result to be `True`, the list must be finite; `False`, however, results from a `False` value at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.
or :: [Bool] -> Bool
`or` returns the disjunction of a Boolean list. For the result to be `False`, the list must be finite; `True`, however, results from a `True` value at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.
any :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool
Applied to a predicate and a list, `any` determines if any element of the list satisfies the predicate.
all :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool
Applied to a predicate and a list, `all` determines if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate.
sum :: Num a => [a] -> a
The `sum` function computes the sum of a finite list of numbers.
product :: Num a => [a] -> a
The `product` function computes the product of a finite list of numbers.
concat :: [[a]] -> [a]
Concatenate a list of lists.
concatMap :: (a -> [b]) -> [a] -> [b]
Map a function over a list and concatenate the results.
maximum :: Ord a => [a] -> a
`maximum` returns the maximum value from a list, which must be non-empty, finite, and of an ordered type. It is a special case of `maximumBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.
minimum :: Ord a => [a] -> a
`minimum` returns the minimum value from a list, which must be non-empty, finite, and of an ordered type. It is a special case of `minimumBy`, which allows the programmer to supply their own comparison function.
Building lists
Scans
scanl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> [a]
`scanl` is similar to `foldl`, but returns a list of successive reduced values from the left:
     scanl f z [x1, x2, ...] == [z, z `f` x1, (z `f` x1) `f` x2, ...]
Note that
     last (scanl f z xs) == foldl f z xs.
scanl1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> [a]
`scanl1` is a variant of `scanl` that has no starting value argument:
     scanl1 f [x1, x2, ...] == [x1, x1 `f` x2, ...]
scanr :: (a -> b -> b) -> b -> [a] -> [b]
`scanr` is the right-to-left dual of `scanl`. Note that
     head (scanr f z xs) == foldr f z xs.
scanr1 :: (a -> a -> a) -> [a] -> [a]
`scanr1` is a variant of `scanr` that has no starting value argument.
Infinite lists
iterate :: (a -> a) -> a -> [a]
`iterate` `f x` returns an infinite list of repeated applications of `f` to `x`:
     iterate f x == [x, f x, f (f x), ...]
repeat :: a -> [a]
`repeat` `x` is an infinite list, with `x` the value of every element.
replicate :: Int -> a -> [a]
`replicate` `n x` is a list of length `n` with `x` the value of every element. It is an instance of the more general `genericReplicate`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.
cycle :: [a] -> [a]
`cycle` ties a finite list into a circular one, or equivalently, the infinite repetition of the original list. It is the identity on infinite lists.
Sublists
take :: Int -> [a] -> [a]
`take` `n`, applied to a list `xs`, returns the prefix of `xs` of length `n`, or `xs` itself if `n > `length` xs`. It is an instance of the more general `genericTake`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.
drop :: Int -> [a] -> [a]
`drop` `n xs` returns the suffix of `xs` after the first `n` elements, or `[]` if `n > `length` xs`. It is an instance of the more general `genericDrop`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.
splitAt :: Int -> [a] -> ([a], [a])
`splitAt` `n xs` is equivalent to `(`take` n xs, `drop` n xs)`. It is an instance of the more general `genericSplitAt`, in which `n` may be of any integral type.
takeWhile :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
`takeWhile`, applied to a predicate `p` and a list `xs`, returns the longest prefix (possibly empty) of `xs` of elements that satisfy `p`.
dropWhile :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> [a]
`dropWhile` `p xs` returns the suffix remaining after `takeWhile` `p xs`.
span :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a])
`span` `p xs` is equivalent to `(`takeWhile` p xs, `dropWhile` p xs)`
break :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> ([a], [a])
`break` `p` is equivalent to ``span` (`not` . p)`.
Searching lists
elem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
`elem` is the list membership predicate, usually written in infix form, e.g., `x `elem` xs`.
notElem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
`notElem` is the negation of `elem`.
lookup :: Eq a => a -> [(a, b)] -> Maybe b
`lookup` `key assocs` looks up a key in an association list.
Zipping and unzipping lists
zip :: [a] -> [b] -> [(a, b)]
`zip` takes two lists and returns a list of corresponding pairs. If one input list is short, excess elements of the longer list are discarded.
zip3 :: [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [(a, b, c)]
`zip3` takes three lists and returns a list of triples, analogous to `zip`.
zipWith :: (a -> b -> c) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c]
`zipWith` generalises `zip` by zipping with the function given as the first argument, instead of a tupling function. For example, ``zipWith` (+)` is applied to two lists to produce the list of corresponding sums.
zipWith3 :: (a -> b -> c -> d) -> [a] -> [b] -> [c] -> [d]
The `zipWith3` function takes a function which combines three elements, as well as three lists and returns a list of their point-wise combination, analogous to `zipWith`.
unzip :: [(a, b)] -> ([a], [b])
`unzip` transforms a list of pairs into a list of first components and a list of second components.
unzip3 :: [(a, b, c)] -> ([a], [b], [c])
The `unzip3` function takes a list of triples and returns three lists, analogous to `unzip`.
Functions on strings
lines :: String -> [String]
`lines` breaks a string up into a list of strings at newline characters. The resulting strings do not contain newlines.
words :: String -> [String]
`words` breaks a string up into a list of words, which were delimited by white space.
unlines :: [String] -> String
`unlines` is an inverse operation to `lines`. It joins lines, after appending a terminating newline to each.
unwords :: [String] -> String
`unwords` is an inverse operation to `words`. It joins words with separating spaces.
Converting to and from `String`
type ReadS a = String -> [(a, String)]
A parser for a type `a`, represented as a function that takes a `String` and returns a list of possible parses `(a,`String`)` pairs.

Basic Input and output
data IO a
A value of type ``IO` a` is a computation which, when performed, does some I/O before returning a value of type `a`. There is really only one way to "perform" an I/O action: bind it to `Main.main` in your program. When your program is run, the I/O will be performed. It isn't possible to perform I/O from an arbitrary function, unless that function is itself in the `IO` monad and called at some point, directly or indirectly, from `Main.main`. `IO` is a monad, so `IO` actions can be combined using either the do-notation or the `>>` and `>>=` operations from the `Monad` class.

Output functions
putChar :: Char -> IO ()
Write a character to the standard output device (same as `hPutChar` `stdout`).
putStr :: String -> IO ()
Write a string to the standard output device (same as `hPutStr` `stdout`).
putStrLn :: String -> IO ()
The same as `putStrLn`, but adds a newline character.
print :: Show a => a -> IO ()
The `print` function outputs a value of any printable type to the standard output device. Printable types are those that are instances of class `Show`; `print` converts values to strings for output using the `show` operation and adds a newline. For example, a program to print the first 20 integers and their powers of 2 could be written as:
     main = print ([(n, 2^n) | n <- [0..19]])
Input functions
getChar :: IO Char
Read a character from the standard input device (same as `hGetChar` `stdin`).
getLine :: IO String
Read a line from the standard input device (same as `hGetLine` `stdin`).
getContents :: IO String
The `getContents` operation returns all user input as a single string, which is read lazily as it is needed (same as `hGetContents` `stdin`).
interact :: (String -> String) -> IO ()
The `interact` function takes a function of type `String->String` as its argument. The entire input from the standard input device is passed to this function as its argument, and the resulting string is output on the standard output device.
Files
type FilePath = String
File and directory names are values of type `String`, whose precise meaning is operating system dependent. Files can be opened, yielding a handle which can then be used to operate on the contents of that file.
readFile :: FilePath -> IO String
The `readFile` function reads a file and returns the contents of the file as a string. The file is read lazily, on demand, as with `getContents`.
writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
The computation `writeFile` `file str` function writes the string `str`, to the file `file`.
appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()
The computation `appendFile` `file str` function appends the string `str`, to the file `file`. Note that `writeFile` and `appendFile` write a literal string to a file. To write a value of any printable type, as with `print`, use the `show` function to convert the value to a string first.
     main = appendFile "squares" (show [(x,x*x) | x <- [0,0.1..2]])
readIO :: Read a => String -> IO a
The `readIO` function is similar to `read` except that it signals parse failure to the `IO` monad instead of terminating the program.
readLn :: Read a => IO a
The `readLn` function combines `getLine` and `readIO`.
Exception handling in the I/O monad
type IOError = IOException
The Haskell 98 type for exceptions in the `IO` monad. Any I/O operation may raise an `IOError` instead of returning a result. For a more general type of exception, including also those that arise in pure code, see `Exception`. In Haskell 98, this is an opaque type.
ioError :: IOError -> IO a
Raise an `IOError` in the `IO` monad.
userError :: String -> IOError
Construct an `IOError` value with a string describing the error. The `fail` method of the `IO` instance of the `Monad` class raises a `userError`, thus:
     instance Monad IO where
       ...
       fail s = ioError (userError s)
catch :: IO a -> (IOError -> IO a) -> IO a
The `catch` function establishes a handler that receives any `IOError` raised in the action protected by `catch`. An `IOError` is caught by the most recent handler established by `catch`. These handlers are not selective: all `IOError`s are caught. Exception propagation must be explicitly provided in a handler by re-raising any unwanted exceptions. For example, in
     f = catch g (\e -> if IO.isEOFError e then return [] else ioError e)
the function `f` returns `[]` when an end-of-file exception (cf. `isEOFError`) occurs in `g`; otherwise, the exception is propagated to the next outer handler. When an exception propagates outside the main program, the Haskell system prints the associated `IOError` value and exits the program. Non-I/O exceptions are not caught by this variant; to catch all exceptions, use `catch` from Control.Exception.
