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
