Description

Since: base-4.8.0.0

Synopsis

class Bifunctor p where
- bimap :: (a -> b) -> (c -> d) -> p a c -> p b d
- first :: (a -> b) -> p a c -> p b c
- second :: (b -> c) -> p a b -> p a c

Documentation

class Bifunctor p where #

A bifunctor is a type constructor that takes two type arguments and is a functor in both arguments. That is, unlike with Functor, a type constructor such as Either does not need to be partially applied for a Bifunctor instance, and the methods in this class permit mapping functions over the Left value or the Right value, or both at the same time.

Formally, the class Bifunctor represents a bifunctor from Hask -> Hask.

Intuitively it is a bifunctor where both the first and second arguments are covariant.

You can define a Bifunctor by either defining bimap or by defining both first and second.

If you supply bimap, you should ensure that:

bimap id id ≡ id

If you supply first and second, ensure:

first id ≡ id
second id ≡ id

If you supply both, you should also ensure:

bimap f g ≡ first f . second g

These ensure by parametricity:

bimap  (f . g) (h . i) ≡ bimap f h . bimap g i
first  (f . g) ≡ first  f . first  g
second (f . g) ≡ second f . second g

Since: base-4.8.0.0

Minimal complete definition

bimap | first, second

Methods

bimap :: (a -> b) -> (c -> d) -> p a c -> p b d #

Map over both arguments at the same time.

bimap f g ≡ first f . second g

Examples

Expand

>>> bimap toUpper (+1) ('j', 3)
('J',4)

>>> bimap toUpper (+1) (Left 'j')
Left 'J'

>>> bimap toUpper (+1) (Right 3)
Right 4

first :: (a -> b) -> p a c -> p b c #

Map covariantly over the first argument.

first f ≡ bimap f id

Examples

Expand

>>> first toUpper ('j', 3)
('J',3)

>>> first toUpper (Left 'j')
Left 'J'

second :: (b -> c) -> p a b -> p a c #

Map covariantly over the second argument.

second ≡ bimap id

Examples

Expand

>>> second (+1) ('j', 3)
('j',4)

>>> second (+1) (Right 3)
Right 4
