| Here is what makes the use of predicates possible: Note that 'join [ [1,2],[],[3],[] ]' is '[1,2,3]' and this is part of the working of the list monads >>=. Since for x=2, y=2, the Bool 'x/=y' isn't 'True', the value '[]' is returned and consequently dropped from the resulting list. | Here is what makes the use of predicates possible: Note that 'join [ [1,2],[],[3],[] ]' is '[1,2,3]' and this is part of the working of the list monads >>=.

| The list-functors $\text{fmap}$ maps functions $f :: a \to b$ to functions $T(f)$ defined by concatenation with Haskells $\text{map}$ function, i.e. $\text{fmap}\ f\ xs\ =\ [\ f\ a\ |\ a \leftarrow xs\ ]$, e.g. $\text{map}\ (x\mapsto x^2)\ [2,3,4]$ evaluates to $[4,9,16]$. $\text{return}$ then maps terms $x$ of type $a$ to terms $[x]$ (list with one member) of type $[a]$. $\text{join}$ is flatten, e.g. $\text{join}$ applied to the list of lists $[[7,9,3],[2],[5,10]]$ evaluates to $[7,9,3,2,5,10]$. | The list-functors $\text{fmap}$ maps functions $f :: a \to b$ to functions $T(f)$ defined by concatenation with Haskells $\text{map}$ function, i.e. $\text{fmap}\ f\ xs\ =\ [\ f\ a\ |\ a \leftarrow xs\ ]$, e.g. $\text{map}\ (x\mapsto x^2)\ [2,3,4]$ evaluates to $[4,9,16]$. $\text{return}$ then maps terms $x$ of type $a$ to terms $[x]$ (list with one member) of type $[a]$. $\text{join}$ is flatten, e.g. $\text{join}$ applied to the list of lists $[[7,9,3],[2],[5,10]]$ evaluates to $[7,9,3,2,5,10]$. | ||

| + | Types $a$ get mapped to $\text{Maybe}\ a$. For each type $a$, the type $\text{Maybe}\ a$ contains a copy of all of $a$'s terms $x,y,\dots$, there written $\text{Just}\ x,\text{Just}\ y,\dots$, plus an additional term called $\text{Nothing}$. I.e. the maybe functor effectively adds an „exception“ term to all types of $\text{Hask}$. If $f:: a\to b$ and $x::a$, then the arrow image of the functor on $f$ is just the function which maps $\text{Just}\ x$ to $\text{Just}\ f(x)$ and | ||
| + | |||
| + | Return maps $x$ in $a$ to $\text{Just}\ x$ in $\text{Maybe}\ a$ and join maps $\text{Just}\ (\text{Just}\ x)$ to $\text{Just}\ x$ and in particular, $\text{Just}\ \text{Nothing}$ to $\text{Nothing}$. | ||
