water /mo 'nad / A technique from
category theory } which has been adopted as a way of dealing
with {state } in {functional programming languages } in such a
way that the details of the state are hidden or abstracted out
of code that merely passes it on unchanged .
A monad has three components : a means of augmenting an
existing type , a means of creating a default value of this new
type from a value of the original type , and a replacement for
the basic application operator for the old type that works
with the new type .
The alternative to passing state via a monad is to add an
extra argument and return value to many functions which have
no interest in that state . Monads can encapsulate state , side
effects , exception handling , global data , etc . in a purely
lazily functional way .
A monad can be expressed as the triple , (M , unitM , bindM )
where M is a function on types and (using {Haskell } notation ):
unitM :: a -> M a
bindM :: M a -> (a -> M b ) -> M b
I .e . unitM converts an ordinary value of type a in to monadic
form and bindM applies a function to a monadic value after
de -monadising it . E .g . a state transformer monad :
type S a = State -> (a , State )
unitS a = \ s0 -> (a , s0 )
m `bindS ` k = \ s0 -> let (a ,s1 ) = m s0
in k a s1
Here unitS adds some initial state to an ordinary value and
bindS applies function k to a value m . (`fun ` is Haskell
notation for using a function as an {infix } operator ). Both m
and k take a state as input and return a new state as part of
their output . The construction
m `bindS ` k
composes these two state transformers into one while also
passing the value of m to k .
Monads are a powerful tool in {functional programming }. If a
program is written using a monad to pass around a variable
like the state in the example above ) then it is easy to
change what is passed around simply by changing the monad .
Only the parts of the program which deal directly with the
quantity concerned need be altered , parts which merely pass it
on unchanged will stay the same .
In functional programming , unitM is often called initM or
returnM and bindM is called thenM . A third function , mapM is
frequently defined in terms of then and return . This applies
a given function to a list of monadic values , threading some
variable (e .g . state ) through the applications :
mapM :: (a -> M b ) -> [a ] -> M [b ]
mapM f [] = returnM []
mapM f (x :xs ) = f x `thenM ` ( \ x2 ->
mapM f xs `thenM ` ( \ xs2 ->
returnM (x2 : xs2 ) ))
