-- | Compatibility with Haskell 98
--   
--   This package provides compatibility with the modules of Haskell 98 and
--   the FFI addendum, by means of wrappers around modules from the base
--   package (which in many cases have additional features). However
--   Prelude, Numeric and Foreign are provided directly by the base
--   package.
@package haskell98
@version 2.0.0.1


-- | The Haskell 98 Prelude: a standard module imported by default into all
--   Haskell modules. For more documentation, see the Haskell 98 Report
--   <a>http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/</a>.
module Prelude
data Bool :: *
False :: Bool
True :: Bool
(&&) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
(||) :: Bool -> Bool -> Bool
not :: Bool -> Bool

-- | <a>otherwise</a> is defined as the value <a>True</a>. It helps to make
--   guards more readable. eg.
--   
--   <pre>
--   f x | x &lt; 0     = ...
--       | otherwise = ...
--   </pre>
otherwise :: Bool

-- | The <a>Maybe</a> type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type
--   <tt><a>Maybe</a> a</tt> either contains a value of type <tt>a</tt>
--   (represented as <tt><a>Just</a> a</tt>), or it is empty (represented
--   as <a>Nothing</a>). Using <a>Maybe</a> is a good way to deal with
--   errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic measures such
--   as <a>error</a>.
--   
--   The <a>Maybe</a> type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error
--   monad, where all errors are represented by <a>Nothing</a>. A richer
--   error monad can be built using the <a>Either</a> type.
data Maybe a :: * -> *
Nothing :: Maybe a
Just :: a -> Maybe a

-- | The <a>maybe</a> function takes a default value, a function, and a
--   <a>Maybe</a> value. If the <a>Maybe</a> value is <a>Nothing</a>, the
--   function returns the default value. Otherwise, it applies the function
--   to the value inside the <a>Just</a> and returns the result.
maybe :: b -> (a -> b) -> Maybe a -> b

-- | The <a>Either</a> type represents values with two possibilities: a
--   value of type <tt><a>Either</a> a b</tt> is either <tt><a>Left</a>
--   a</tt> or <tt><a>Right</a> b</tt>.
--   
--   The <a>Either</a> type is sometimes used to represent a value which is
--   either correct or an error; by convention, the <a>Left</a> constructor
--   is used to hold an error value and the <a>Right</a> constructor is
--   used to hold a correct value (mnemonic: "right" also means "correct").
data Either a b :: * -> * -> *
Left :: a -> Either a b
Right :: b -> Either a b

-- | Case analysis for the <a>Either</a> type. If the value is
--   <tt><a>Left</a> a</tt>, apply the first function to <tt>a</tt>; if it
--   is <tt><a>Right</a> b</tt>, apply the second function to <tt>b</tt>.
either :: (a -> c) -> (b -> c) -> Either a b -> c
data Ordering :: *

-- | Class <a>Enum</a> defines operations on sequentially ordered types.
--   
--   The <tt>enumFrom</tt>... methods are used in Haskell's translation of
--   arithmetic sequences.
--   
--   Instances of <a>Enum</a> may be derived for any enumeration type
--   (types whose constructors have no fields). The nullary constructors
--   are assumed to be numbered left-to-right by <a>fromEnum</a> from
--   <tt>0</tt> through <tt>n-1</tt>. See Chapter 10 of the <i>Haskell
--   Report</i> for more details.
--   
--   For any type that is an instance of class <a>Bounded</a> as well as
--   <a>Enum</a>, the following should hold:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>The calls <tt><a>succ</a> <a>maxBound</a></tt> and <tt><a>pred</a>
--   <a>minBound</a></tt> should result in a runtime error.</li>
--   <li><a>fromEnum</a> and <a>toEnum</a> should give a runtime error if
--   the result value is not representable in the result type. For example,
--   <tt><a>toEnum</a> 7 :: <a>Bool</a></tt> is an error.</li>
--   <li><a>enumFrom</a> and <a>enumFromThen</a> should be defined with an
--   implicit bound, thus:</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   <pre>
--   enumFrom     x   = enumFromTo     x maxBound
--   enumFromThen x y = enumFromThenTo x y bound
--     where
--       bound | fromEnum y &gt;= fromEnum x = maxBound

type ShowS = String -> String

-- | Conversion of values to readable <a>String</a>s.
--   
--   Minimal complete definition: <a>showsPrec</a> or <a>show</a>.
--   
--   Derived instances of <a>Show</a> have the following properties, which
--   are compatible with derived instances of <a>Read</a>:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>The result of <a>show</a> is a syntactically correct Haskell
--   expression containing only constants, given the fixity declarations in
--   force at the point where the type is declared. It contains only the
--   constructor names defined in the data type, parentheses, and spaces.
--   When labelled constructor fields are used, braces, commas, field
--   names, and equal signs are also used.</li>
--   <li>If the constructor is defined to be an infix operator, then
--   <a>showsPrec</a> will produce infix applications of the
--   constructor.</li>
--   <li>the representation will be enclosed in parentheses if the
--   precedence of the top-level constructor in <tt>x</tt> is less than
--   <tt>d</tt> (associativity is ignored). Thus, if <tt>d</tt> is
--   <tt>0</tt> then the result is never surrounded in parentheses; if
--   <tt>d</tt> is <tt>11</tt> it is always surrounded in parentheses,
--   unless it is an atomic expression.</li>
--   <li>If the constructor is defined using record syntax, then
--   <a>show</a> will produce the record-syntax form, with the fields given
--   in the same order as the original declaration.</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   For example, given the declarations
--   
--   <pre>
--   infixr 5 :^:
--   data Tree a =  Leaf a  |  Tree a :^: Tree a
--   </pre>
--   
--   the derived instance of <a>Show</a> is equivalent to

--   <li>If the constructor is defined using record syntax, the derived
--   <a>Read</a> will parse only the record-syntax form, and furthermore,
--   the fields must be given in the same order as the original

--   <li>The derived <a>Read</a> instance allows arbitrary Haskell

-- | Haskell defines operations to read and write characters from and to
--   files, represented by values of type <tt>Handle</tt>. Each value of
--   this type is a <i>handle</i>: a record used by the Haskell run-time
--   system to <i>manage</i> I/O with file system objects. A handle has at
--   least the following properties:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li>whether it manages input or output or both;</li>
--   <li>whether it is <i>open</i>, <i>closed</i> or
--   <i>semi-closed</i>;</li>
--   <li>whether the object is seekable;</li>
--   <li>whether buffering is disabled, or enabled on a line or block
--   basis;</li>
--   <li>a buffer (whose length may be zero).</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Most handles will also have a current I/O position indicating where
--   the next input or output operation will occur. A handle is
--   <i>readable</i> if it manages only input or both input and output;
--   likewise, it is <i>writable</i> if it manages only output or both
--   input and output. A handle is <i>open</i> when first allocated. Once
--   it is closed it can no longer be used for either input or output,
--   though an implementation cannot re-use its storage while references
--   remain to it. Handles are in the <a>Show</a> and <a>Eq</a> classes.
--   The string produced by showing a handle is system dependent; it should
--   include enough information to identify the handle for debugging. A
--   handle is equal according to <a>==</a> only to itself; no attempt is
--   made to compare the internal state of different handles for equality.

-- | Three kinds of buffering are supported: line-buffering,
--   block-buffering or no-buffering. These modes have the following
--   effects. For output, items are written out, or <i>flushed</i>, from
--   the internal buffer according to the buffer mode:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><i>line-buffering</i>: the entire output buffer is flushed
--   whenever a newline is output, the buffer overflows, a <a>hFlush</a> is
--   issued, or the handle is closed.</li>
--   <li><i>block-buffering</i>: the entire buffer is written out whenever
--   it overflows, a <a>hFlush</a> is issued, or the handle is closed.</li>
--   <li><i>no-buffering</i>: output is written immediately, and never
--   stored in the buffer.</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   An implementation is free to flush the buffer more frequently, but not
--   less frequently, than specified above. The output buffer is emptied as
--   soon as it has been written out.
--   
--   Similarly, input occurs according to the buffer mode for the handle:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><i>line-buffering</i>: when the buffer for the handle is not
--   empty, the next item is obtained from the buffer; otherwise, when the
--   buffer is empty, characters up to and including the next newline
--   character are read into the buffer. No characters are available until
--   the newline character is available or the buffer is full.</li>
--   <li><i>block-buffering</i>: when the buffer for the handle becomes
--   empty, the next block of data is read into the buffer.</li>
--   <li><i>no-buffering</i>: the next input item is read and returned. The
--   <a>hLookAhead</a> operation implies that even a no-buffered handle may
--   require a one-character buffer.</li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   The default buffering mode when a handle is opened is
--   implementation-dependent and may depend on the file system object
--   which is attached to that handle. For most implementations, physical
--   files will normally be block-buffered and terminals will normally be
--   line-buffered.
data BufferMode :: *

-- | Computation <a>openFile</a> <tt>file mode</tt> allocates and returns a

--   
--   If the file does not exist and it is opened for output, it should be
--   created as a new file. If <tt>mode</tt> is <a>WriteMode</a> and the
--   file already exists, then it should be truncated to zero length. Some
--   operating systems delete empty files, so there is no guarantee that
--   the file will exist following an <a>openFile</a> with <tt>mode</tt>
--   <a>WriteMode</a> unless it is subsequently written to successfully.
--   The handle is positioned at the end of the file if <tt>mode</tt> is
--   <a>AppendMode</a>, and otherwise at the beginning (in which case its
--   internal position is 0). The initial buffer mode is
--   implementation-dependent.
--   
--   This operation may fail with:

--   <ul>
--   <li><tt>isAlreadyInUseError</tt> if the file is already open and

openFile :: FilePath -> IOMode -> IO Handle

--   on a handle that has already been closed has no effect; doing so is

hSetBuffering :: Handle -> BufferMode -> IO ()

-- | Computation <a>hGetBuffering</a> <tt>hdl</tt> returns the current

hGetBuffering :: Handle -> IO BufferMode

-- | The action <a>hFlush</a> <tt>hdl</tt> causes any items buffered for

--   
--   This operation may fail with:

hGetPosn :: Handle -> IO HandlePosn

-- | If a call to <a>hGetPosn</a> <tt>hdl</tt> returns a position

hSetPosn :: HandlePosn -> IO ()

--   is given in terms of 8-bit bytes.
--   
--   If <tt>hdl</tt> is block- or line-buffered, then seeking to a position
--   which is not in the current buffer will first cause any items in the
--   output buffer to be written to the device, and then cause the input
--   buffer to be discarded. Some handles may not be seekable (see
--   <a>hIsSeekable</a>), or only support a subset of the possible
--   positioning operations (for instance, it may only be possible to seek
--   to the end of a tape, or to a positive offset from the beginning or
--   current position). It is not possible to set a negative I/O position,
--   or for a physical file, an I/O position beyond the current
--   end-of-file.
--   
--   This operation may fail with:

hSeek :: Handle -> SeekMode -> Integer -> IO ()

-- | Computation <a>hWaitForInput</a> <tt>hdl t</tt> waits until input is

--   are available, which means that it needs to do decoding, and hence may
--   fail with a decoding error.
--   
--   If <tt>t</tt> is less than zero, then <tt>hWaitForInput</tt> waits
--   indefinitely.
--   
--   This operation may fail with:

--   <ul>
--   <li><a>isEOFError</a> if the end of file has been reached.</li>
--   <li>a decoding error, if the input begins with an invalid byte

--   
--   NOTE for GHC users: unless you use the <tt>-threaded</tt> flag,
--   <tt>hWaitForInput t</tt> where <tt>t &gt;= 0</tt> will block all other

hWaitForInput :: Handle -> Int -> IO Bool

-- | Computation <a>hReady</a> <tt>hdl</tt> indicates whether at least one

hGetLine :: Handle -> IO String

--   
--   Any operation that fails because a handle is closed, also fails if a

getContents :: IO String

-- | The <a>readFile</a> function reads a file and returns the contents of
--   the file as a string. The file is read lazily, on demand, as with

readFile :: FilePath -> IO String

-- | The computation <a>writeFile</a> <tt>file str</tt> function writes the

writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()

-- | The computation <a>appendFile</a> <tt>file str</tt> function appends

--   
--   Note that <a>writeFile</a> and <a>appendFile</a> write a literal

module Char

-- | Selects the first 128 characters of the Unicode character set,
--   corresponding to the ASCII character set.
isAscii :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects the first 256 characters of the Unicode character set,
--   corresponding to the ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set.
isLatin1 :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects control characters, which are the non-printing characters of
--   the Latin-1 subset of Unicode.
isControl :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects printable Unicode characters (letters, numbers, marks,
--   punctuation, symbols and spaces).
isPrint :: Char -> Bool

-- | Returns <a>True</a> for any Unicode space character, and the control
--   characters <tt>\t</tt>, <tt>\n</tt>, <tt>\r</tt>, <tt>\f</tt>,
--   <tt>\v</tt>.
isSpace :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects upper-case or title-case alphabetic Unicode characters

--   like the single-character form of <i>Lj</i>.
isUpper :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects lower-case alphabetic Unicode characters (letters).
isLower :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects alphabetic Unicode characters (lower-case, upper-case and
--   title-case letters, plus letters of caseless scripts and modifiers
--   letters). This function is equivalent to <a>isLetter</a>.
isAlpha :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects ASCII digits, i.e. <tt>'0'</tt>..<tt>'9'</tt>.
isDigit :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects ASCII octal digits, i.e. <tt>'0'</tt>..<tt>'7'</tt>.
isOctDigit :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects ASCII hexadecimal digits, i.e. <tt>'0'</tt>..<tt>'9'</tt>,
--   <tt>'a'</tt>..<tt>'f'</tt>, <tt>'A'</tt>..<tt>'F'</tt>.
isHexDigit :: Char -> Bool

-- | Selects alphabetic or numeric digit Unicode characters.
--   
--   Note that numeric digits outside the ASCII range are selected by this
--   function but not by <a>isDigit</a>. Such digits may be part of
--   identifiers but are not used by the printer and reader to represent
--   numbers.
isAlphaNum :: Char -> Bool

-- | Convert a single digit <a>Char</a> to the corresponding <a>Int</a>.
--   This function fails unless its argument satisfies <a>isHexDigit</a>,
--   but recognises both upper and lower-case hexadecimal digits (i.e.
--   <tt>'0'</tt>..<tt>'9'</tt>, <tt>'a'</tt>..<tt>'f'</tt>,
--   <tt>'A'</tt>..<tt>'F'</tt>).
digitToInt :: Char -> Int

-- | Convert an <a>Int</a> in the range <tt>0</tt>..<tt>15</tt> to the
--   corresponding single digit <a>Char</a>. This function fails on other
--   inputs, and generates lower-case hexadecimal digits.
intToDigit :: Int -> Char

-- | Convert a letter to the corresponding upper-case letter, if any. Any
--   other character is returned unchanged.
toUpper :: Char -> Char

-- | Convert a letter to the corresponding lower-case letter, if any. Any

--   </pre>
readLitChar :: ReadS Char

-- | Convert a character to a string using only printable characters, using

--   
--   <pre>
--   showLitChar '\n' s  =  "\\n" ++ s
--   </pre>
showLitChar :: Char -> ShowS

-- | Read a string representation of a character, using Haskell
--   source-language escape conventions. For example:

module Ix

-- | The <a>Ix</a> class is used to map a contiguous subrange of values in
--   a type onto integers. It is used primarily for array indexing (see the
--   array package).
--   
--   The first argument <tt>(l,u)</tt> of each of these operations is a
--   pair specifying the lower and upper bounds of a contiguous subrange of
--   values.
--   
--   An implementation is entitled to assume the following laws about these
--   operations:
--   
--   <ul>
--   <li><tt><a>inRange</a> (l,u) i == <a>elem</a> i (<a>range</a>
--   (l,u))</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>range</a> (l,u) <a>!!</a> <a>index</a> (l,u) i == i</tt>,
--   when <tt><a>inRange</a> (l,u) i</tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>map</a> (<a>index</a> (l,u)) (<a>range</a> (l,u))) ==
--   [0..<a>rangeSize</a> (l,u)-1]</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   <li><tt><a>rangeSize</a> (l,u) == <a>length</a> (<a>range</a>
--   (l,u))</tt> <tt> </tt></li>
--   </ul>
--   
--   Minimal complete instance: <a>range</a>, <a>index</a> and
--   <a>inRange</a>.
class Ord a => Ix a
range :: Ix a => (a, a) -> [a]
index :: Ix a => (a, a) -> a -> Int
inRange :: Ix a => (a, a) -> a -> Bool
rangeSize :: Ix a => (a, a) -> Int

rangeSize :: Ix a => (a, a) -> Int

module Array

-- | The type of immutable non-strict (boxed) arrays with indices in
--   <tt>i</tt> and elements in <tt>e</tt>.
data Array i e :: * -> * -> *

-- | Construct an array with the specified bounds and containing values for
--   given indices within these bounds.
--   
--   The array is undefined (i.e. bottom) if any index in the list is out
--   of bounds. The Haskell 98 Report further specifies that if any two
--   associations in the list have the same index, the value at that index
--   is undefined (i.e. bottom). However in GHC's implementation, the value
--   at such an index is the value part of the last association with that
--   index in the list.
--   
--   Because the indices must be checked for these errors, <a>array</a> is
--   strict in the bounds argument and in the indices of the association
--   list, but non-strict in the values. Thus, recurrences such as the
--   following are possible:
--   
--   <pre>
--   a = array (1,100) ((1,1) : [(i, i * a!(i-1)) | i &lt;- [2..100]])
--   </pre>
--   
--   Not every index within the bounds of the array need appear in the
--   association list, but the values associated with indices that do not
--   appear will be undefined (i.e. bottom).
--   
--   If, in any dimension, the lower bound is greater than the upper bound,
--   then the array is legal, but empty. Indexing an empty array always
--   gives an array-bounds error, but <a>bounds</a> still yields the bounds
--   with which the array was constructed.
array :: Ix i => (i, i) -> [(i, e)] -> Array i e

-- | Construct an array from a pair of bounds and a list of values in index
--   order.
listArray :: Ix i => (i, i) -> [e] -> Array i e

-- | The value at the given index in an array.
(!) :: Ix i => Array i e -> i -> e

-- | The bounds with which an array was constructed.
bounds :: Ix i => Array i e -> (i, i)

-- | The list of indices of an array in ascending order.
indices :: Ix i => Array i e -> [i]

-- | The list of elements of an array in index order.
elems :: Ix i => Array i e -> [e]

-- | The list of associations of an array in index order.
assocs :: Ix i => Array i e -> [(i, e)]

-- | The <a>accumArray</a> function deals with repeated indices in the
--   association list using an <i>accumulating function</i> which combines
--   the values of associations with the same index. For example, given a
--   list of values of some index type, <tt>hist</tt> produces a histogram
--   of the number of occurrences of each index within a specified range:
--   
--   <pre>
--   hist :: (Ix a, Num b) =&gt; (a,a) -&gt; [a] -&gt; Array a b
--   hist bnds is = accumArray (+) 0 bnds [(i, 1) | i&lt;-is, inRange bnds i]
--   </pre>
--   
--   If the accumulating function is strict, then <a>accumArray</a> is
--   strict in the values, as well as the indices, in the association list.
--   Thus, unlike ordinary arrays built with <a>array</a>, accumulated
--   arrays should not in general be recursive.
accumArray :: Ix i => (e -> a -> e) -> e -> (i, i) -> [(i, a)] -> Array i e

-- | Constructs an array identical to the first argument except that it has
--   been updated by the associations in the right argument. For example,
--   if <tt>m</tt> is a 1-origin, <tt>n</tt> by <tt>n</tt> matrix, then
--   
--   <pre>
--   m//[((i,i), 0) | i &lt;- [1..n]]
--   </pre>
--   
--   is the same matrix, except with the diagonal zeroed.
--   
--   Repeated indices in the association list are handled as for
--   <a>array</a>: Haskell 98 specifies that the resulting array is
--   undefined (i.e. bottom), but GHC's implementation uses the last
--   association for each index.
(//) :: Ix i => Array i e -> [(i, e)] -> Array i e

-- | <tt><a>accum</a> f</tt> takes an array and an association list and

--   <a>accum</a>:
--   
--   <pre>
--   accumArray f z b = accum f (array b [(i, z) | i &lt;- range b])
--   </pre>
accum :: Ix i => (e -> a -> e) -> Array i e -> [(i, a)] -> Array i e

-- | <a>ixmap</a> allows for transformations on array indices. It may be

--   mapping that the original array embodies.
--   
--   A similar transformation of array values may be achieved using
--   <a>fmap</a> from the <a>Array</a> instance of the <a>Functor</a>
