The Maybe type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type
Maybe aa (represented as Just aNothing). 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.

maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b Source #
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 the result.
Examples
Basic usage:
>>>maybe False odd (Just 3)True
>>>maybe False odd NothingFalse
Read an integer from a string using readMaybe. If we succeed,
return twice the integer; that is, apply (*2) to it. If instead
we fail to parse an integer, return 0 by default:
>>>import GHC.Internal.Text.Read ( readMaybe )>>>maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "5")10>>>maybe 0 (*2) (readMaybe "")0
Apply show to a Maybe Int. If we have Just n, we want to show
the underlying Int n. But if we have Nothing, we return the
empty string instead of (for example) "Nothing":
>>>maybe "" show (Just 5)"5">>>maybe "" show Nothing""
The Either type represents values with two possibilities: a value of
type Either a bLeft aRight 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").
Examples
The type Either String IntString or an Int. The Left constructor can be used only on
Strings, and the Right constructor can be used only on Ints:
>>>let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int>>>sLeft "foo">>>let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int>>>nRight 3>>>:type ss :: Either String Int>>>:type nn :: Either String Int
The fmap from our Functor instance will ignore Left values, but
will apply the supplied function to values contained in a Right:
>>>let s = Left "foo" :: Either String Int>>>let n = Right 3 :: Either String Int>>>fmap (*2) sLeft "foo">>>fmap (*2) nRight 6
The Monad instance for Either allows us to chain together multiple
actions which may fail, and fail overall if any of the individual
steps failed. First we'll write a function that can either parse an
Int from a Char, or fail.
>>>import Data.Char ( digitToInt, isDigit )>>>:{let parseEither :: Char -> Either String Int parseEither c | isDigit c = Right (digitToInt c) | otherwise = Left "parse error">>>:}
The following should work, since both '1' and '2' can be
parsed as Ints.
>>>:{let parseMultiple :: Either String Int parseMultiple = do x <- parseEither '1' y <- parseEither '2' return (x + y)>>>:}
>>>parseMultipleRight 3
But the following should fail overall, since the first operation where
we attempt to parse 'm' as an Int will fail:
>>>:{let parseMultiple :: Either String Int parseMultiple = do x <- parseEither 'm' y <- parseEither '2' return (x + y)>>>:}
>>>parseMultipleLeft "parse error"

The character type Char represents Unicode codespace
and its elements are code points as in definitions
D9 and D10 of the Unicode Standard.
Character literals in Haskell are single-quoted: 'Q', 'Я' or 'Ω'.
To represent a single quote itself use '\'', and to represent a backslash
use '\\'. The full grammar can be found in the section 2.6 of the
Haskell 2010 Language Report.
To specify a character by its code point one can use decimal, hexadecimal
or octal notation: '\65', '\x41' and '\o101' are all alternative forms
of 'A'. The largest code point is '\x10ffff'.
There is a special escape syntax for ASCII control characters:
| Escape | Alternatives | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
'\NUL' | '\0' | null character |
'\SOH' | '\1' | start of heading |
'\STX' | '\2' | start of text |
'\ETX' | '\3' | end of text |
'\EOT' | '\4' | end of transmission |
'\ENQ' | '\5' | enquiry |
'\ACK' | '\6' | acknowledge |
'\BEL' | '\7', '\a' | bell (alert) |
'\BS' | '\8', '\b' | backspace |
'\HT' | '\9', '\t' | horizontal tab |
'\LF' | '\10', '\n' | line feed (new line) |
'\VT' | '\11', '\v' | vertical tab |
'\FF' | '\12', '\f' | form feed |
'\CR' | '\13', '\r' | carriage return |
'\SO' | '\14' | shift out |
'\SI' | '\15' | shift in |

String is an alias for a list of characters.
String constants in Haskell are values of type String.
That means if you write a string literal like "hello world",
it will have the type [Char], which is the same as String.
Note: You can ask the compiler to automatically infer different types
with the -XOverloadedStrings language extension, for example
"hello world" :: Text. See IsString for more information.
Because String is just a list of characters, you can use normal list functions
to do basic string manipulation. See Data.List for operations on lists.
Performance considerations
[Char] is a relatively memory-inefficient type.
It is a linked list of boxed word-size characters, internally it looks something like:
╭─────┬───┬──╮ ╭─────┬───┬──╮ ╭─────┬───┬──╮ ╭────╮
│ (:) │ │ ─┼─>│ (:) │ │ ─┼─>│ (:) │ │ ─┼─>│ [] │
╰─────┴─┼─┴──╯ ╰─────┴─┼─┴──╯ ╰─────┴─┼─┴──╯ ╰────╯
v v v
'a' 'b' 'c'The String "abc" will use 5*3+1 = 16 (in general 5n+1)
words of space in memory.
Furthermore, operations like (++) (string concatenation) are O(n)
(in the left argument).
For historical reasons, the base library uses String in a lot of places
for the conceptual simplicity, but library code dealing with user-data
should use the text
package for Unicode text, or the the
bytestring package
for binary data.
Tuples
curry :: ((a, b) -> c) -> a -> b -> c Source #
Convert an uncurried function to a curried function.
Examples
>>>curry fst 1 21
uncurry :: (a -> b -> c) -> (a, b) -> c Source #
uncurry converts a curried function to a function on pairs.
Examples
>>>uncurry (+) (1,2)3
>>>uncurry ($) (show, 1)"1"
>>>map (uncurry max) [(1,2), (3,4), (6,8)][2,4,8]
Basic type classes
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.
The Haskell Report defines no laws for Eq. However, instances are
encouraged to follow these properties:
Instances
class Eq a => Ord a where Source #
The Ord class is used for totally ordered datatypes.
Instances of Ord can be derived for any user-defined datatype whose
constituent types are in Ord. The declared order of the constructors in
the data declaration determines the ordering in derived Ord instances. The
Ordering datatype allows a single comparison to determine the precise
ordering of two objects.
Ord, as defined by the Haskell report, implements a total order and has the
following properties:
- Comparability
x <= y || y <= x=True- Transitivity
- if
x <= y && y <= z=True, thenx <= z=True - Reflexivity
x <= x=True- Antisymmetry
- if
x <= y && y <= x=True, thenx == y=True
The following operator interactions are expected to hold:
x >= y=y <= xx < y=x <= y && x /= yx > y=y < xx < y=compare x y == LTx > y=compare x y == GTx == y=compare x y == EQmin x y == if x <= y then x else y=Truemax x y == if x >= y then x else y=True
Note that (7.) and (8.) do not require min and max to return either of
their arguments. The result is merely required to equal one of the
arguments in terms of (==). Users who expect a stronger guarantee are advised
to write their own min and/or max functions.
The nuance of the above distinction is not always fully internalized by
developers, and in the past (tracing back to the Haskell 1.4 Report) the
specification for Ord asserted the stronger property that (min x y, max x
y) = (x, y) or (y, x), or in other words, that min and max will
return one of their arguments, using argument order as the tie-breaker if
the arguments are equal by comparison. A few list and
Foldable functions have behavior that is best understood
with this assumption in mind: all variations of minimumBy and maximumBy
(which can't use min and max in their implementations) are written such
that minimumBy and comparemaximumBy are respectively
equivalent to compareminimum and maximum (which do use min and max) only if
min and max adhere to this tie-breaking convention. Otherwise, if there
are multiple least or largest elements in a container, minimum and
maximum may not return the same one that minimumBy and
comparemaximumBy do (though they should return something that is
equal). (This is relevant for types with non-extensional equality, like
compareArg, but also in cases where the precise reference held
matters for memory-management reasons.) Unless there is a reason to deviate,
it is less confusing for implementors of Ord to respect this same
convention (as the default definitions of min and max do).
Minimal complete definition: either compare or <=.
Using compare can be more efficient for complex types.
