# Documentation

module Data.Functor

class Functor (f :: Type -> Type) where #

A type `f` is a Functor if it provides a function `fmap` which, given any types `a` and `b` lets you apply any function from `(a -> b)` to turn an `f a` into an `f b`, preserving the structure of `f`. Furthermore `f` needs to adhere to the following:

Identity
  ``fmap` `id` == `id``
Composition
  ``fmap` (f . g) == `fmap` f . `fmap` g`

Note, that the second law follows from the free theorem of the type `fmap` and the first law, so you need only check that the former condition holds.

Minimal complete definition

fmap

Methods

fmap :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b #

`fmap` is used to apply a function of type `(a -> b)` to a value of type `f a`, where f is a functor, to produce a value of type `f b`. Note that for any type constructor with more than one parameter (e.g., `Either`), only the last type parameter can be modified with `fmap` (e.g., `b` in `Either a b`).

Some type constructors with two parameters or more have a ``Bifunctor`` instance that allows both the last and the penultimate parameters to be mapped over.

#### Examples

Expand

Convert from a ``Maybe` Int` to a `Maybe String` using `show`:

    >>> fmap show Nothing
    Nothing
    >>> fmap show (Just 3)
    Just "3"

Convert from an ``Either` Int Int` to an `Either Int String` using `show`:

    >>> fmap show (Left 17)
    Left 17
    >>> fmap show (Right 17)
    Right "17"

Double each element of a list:

    >>> fmap (*2) [1,2,3]
    [2,4,6]

Apply `even` to the second element of a pair:

    >>> fmap even (2,2)
    (2,True)

It may seem surprising that the function is only applied to the last element of the tuple compared to the list example above which applies it to every element in the list. To understand, remember that tuples are type constructors with multiple type parameters: a tuple of 3 elements `(a,b,c)` can also be written `(,,) a b c` and its `Functor` instance is defined for `Functor ((,,) a b)` (i.e., only the third parameter is free to be mapped over with `fmap`).

It explains why `fmap` can be used with tuples containing values of different types as in the following example:

    >>> fmap even ("hello", 1.0, 4)
    ("hello",1.0,True)

(<$) :: a -> f b -> f a infixl 4 #

Replace all locations in the input with the same value. The default definition is ``fmap` . `const``, but this may be overridden with a more efficient version.
