## Operations

(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 3 Source #

Boolean "and"

(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool infixr 2 Source #

Boolean "or"

not :: Bool -> Bool Source #

Boolean "not"

otherwise :: Bool #

`otherwise` is defined as the value `True`. It helps to make guards more readable. eg.

     f x | x < 0     = ...
         | otherwise = ...

bool :: a -> a -> Bool -> a #

Case analysis for the `Bool` type. ``bool` x y p` evaluates to `x` 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

Expand

Basic usage:

    >>> bool "foo" "bar" True
    "bar"
    >>> bool "foo" "bar" False
    "foo"

Confirm that ``bool` x y p` and `if p then y else x` are equivalent:

    >>> let p = True; x = "bar"; y = "foo"
    >>> bool x y p == if p then y else x
    True
    >>> let p = False
    >>> bool x y p == if p then y else x
    True
