Module Monad.Option

The option aka Maybe monad.

This monad can be used to denote partial computations or a limited form of non-deterministic computations where an absence of result, i.e., the bottom value, can be considered as a possible outcome.

module type S = sig ... end

The unary option monad.

module type S2 = sig ... end

The binary option monad

include S with type 'a t = 'a option and type 'a m = 'a and type 'a e = 'a option
include Trans.S with type 'a t = 'a option with type 'a m = 'a with type 'a e = 'a option
type 'a t = 'a option
type 'a m = 'a
type 'a e = 'a option
val lift : 'a m -> 'a t

lifts inner monad into the resulting monad

val run : 'a t -> 'a e

runs the computation

include Monad with type 'a t := 'a t
val void : 'a t -> unit t

void m computes m and discrards the result.

val sequence : unit t list -> unit t

sequence xs computes a sequence of computations xs in the left to right order.

val forever : 'a t -> 'b t

forever xs creates a computationt that never returns.

module Fn : sig ... end

Various function combinators lifted into the Kleisli category.

module Pair : sig ... end

The pair interface lifted into the monad.

module Triple : sig ... end

The triple interface lifted into a monad.

module Lift : sig ... end

Lifts functions into the monad.

module Exn : sig ... end

Interacting between monads and language exceptions

module Collection : sig ... end

Lifts collection interface into the monad.

include Choice.S with type 'a t := 'a t
include Choice.Basic with type 'a t := 'a t
val pure : 'a -> 'a t

pure x creates a computation that results in x.

val accept : 'a -> 'a t

accept x accepts x as a result of computation. (Same as pure x.

val reject : unit -> 'a t

reject () rejects the rest of computation sequence, and terminate the computation with the zero result (Same as zero ()

val guard : bool -> unit t

guard cond ensures cond is true in the rest of computation. Otherwise the rest of the computation is rejected.

val on : bool -> unit t -> unit t

on cond x computes x only iff cond is true

val unless : bool -> unit t -> unit t

unless cond x computes x unless cond is true.

include Plus.S with type 'a t := 'a t
val zero : unit -> 'a t

zero () constructs a zero element

val plus : 'a t -> 'a t -> 'a t

plus x y an associative operation.

include Fail.S with type 'a t := 'a t and type 'a error = unit
type 'a error = unit

a type of error

val fail : _ error -> 'a t

fail err diverges the computation, possibly providing an extra information in a value of type _ error.

val catch : 'a t -> (_ error -> 'a t) -> 'a t

catch m f if m diverges with some bottom value err, the f err is a result of the whole computation, otherwise returns m.
