gmapM :: Monad m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> Bool -> m Bool Source

gmapMp :: MonadPlus m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> Bool -> m Bool Source

gmapMo :: MonadPlus m => (forall d. Data d => d -> m d) -> Bool -> m Bool Source

Ord Bool

Methods

(<) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

(<=) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

(>) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

(>=) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

max :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

min :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool Source

Read Bool
Show Bool
Ix Bool

Methods

range :: (Bool, Bool) -> [Bool] Source

index :: (Bool, Bool) -> Bool -> Int Source

unsafeIndex :: (Bool, Bool) -> Bool -> Int

inRange :: (Bool, Bool) -> Bool -> Bool Source

rangeSize :: (Bool, Bool) -> Int Source

unsafeRangeSize :: (Bool, Bool) -> Int

Generic Bool

Associated Types

type Rep Bool :: * -> * Source

Methods

from :: Bool -> Rep Bool x Source

to :: Rep Bool x -> Bool Source

FiniteBits Bool
Bits Bool
Storable Bool
type Rep Bool
type Rep Bool = D1 (MetaData "Bool" "GHC.Types" "ghc-prim" False) ((:+:) (C1 (MetaCons "False" PrefixI False) U1) (C1 (MetaCons "True" PrefixI False) U1))
type (==) Bool a b
type (==) Bool a b

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 Source

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 Source

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

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
