Haskell Aide-mémoire

Haskell est un langage de programmation purement fonctionnel avec un typage statique fort.

01

Bases

Hello World

main est le point d'entrée, putStrLn affiche avec un saut de ligne

haskell
-- GHCi interactive environment
-- launch: ghci  (quit with :q)

-- simple arithmetic
> 2 + 3
5

-- function application (no parentheses needed)
> succ 5
6

-- define a function
> double x = x * 2
> double 10
20

-- lists
> [1,2,3,4]
[1,2,3,4]

-- strings are lists of chars
> "hello"
"hello"

Commentaires

{- -} pour les commentaires multi-lignes

haskell
-- single line comment

{- multi-line comment
   spanning multiple lines -}

{- nested {- comments -} are allowed -}

-- comments are ignored by the compiler

GHCi interactif

:t affiche le type, :q quitte

haskell
-- hello.hs
main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"

-- run interpreted
--   runhaskell hello.hs
-- or compile to an executable
--   ghc hello.hs && ./hello

Liaison let

let définit des variables locales dans un bloc do

haskell
-- in GHCi, 'let' defines a binding (no 'in' needed)
> let x = 5
> let double n = n * 2
> x + double x
15

-- in a source file, top-level bindings need no 'let'
y = 10

-- 'let' inside an expression needs 'in'
z = let a = 2 in a * a   -- 4

Règles d'indentation

Haskell utilise l'indentation au lieu des accolades

haskell
-- :t shows the type of an expression
> :t 'a'
'a' :: Char

> :t True
True :: Bool

> :t "hi"
"hi" :: [Char]

> :t (+)
(+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a

-- :info shows typeclass info
> :info Num

Loading Files

:load loads a module into GHCi; :reload reloads it after edits. :browse lists everything a module exports. :main runs the program with command-line arguments. These make the REPL workflow smooth.

haskell
-- GHCi commands
> :load MyModule.hs    -- or :l
> :reload              -- or :r, reload after edits
> :type main           -- check a type
> :browse Data.List    -- list a module's exports
> :main arg1 arg2      -- run main with args

-- :set +t auto-prints types of results
02

Types

Types de base

:: annote explicitement les types

haskell
-- Int: bounded integer (platform-dependent)
x :: Int
x = 9

-- Integer: arbitrary-precision (unbounded)
big :: Integer
big = 2 ^ 100

-- Float / Double (prefer Double)
piVal :: Double
piVal = 3.14159

-- Bool
flag :: Bool
flag = True

-- Char (single Unicode character)
c :: Char
c = 'a'

Types de fonctions

-> est associatif à droite, le dernier est le type de retour

haskell
-- explicit type signature above a binding
age :: Int
age = 30

-- annotate an expression inline with ::
result = (5 :: Int) + 3

-- function signature
add :: Int -> Int -> Int
add x y = x + y

-- annotate a list
nums :: [Double]
nums = [1.0, 2.0, 3.0]

Variables de type

Les lettres minuscules sont des variables de type

haskell
-- 'a' is a type variable (polymorphic)
id' :: a -> a
id' x = x

-- works for any type
> id' 5
5
> id' "hello"
"hello"

-- length works on any list
length :: [a] -> Int

Type Maybe

Maybe représente des calculs qui peuvent échouer

haskell
-- '->' is right-associative
add :: Int -> Int -> Int
-- equivalent to: Int -> (Int -> Int)

-- takes a function as an argument
apply :: (a -> b) -> a -> b
apply f x = f x

-- returns a function
const' :: a -> b -> a
const' x y = x

Type Either

Either est utilisé pour la gestion des erreurs

haskell
-- Maybe: optional values
data Maybe a = Nothing | Just a

safeDiv :: Double -> Double -> Maybe Double
safeDiv _ 0 = Nothing
safeDiv x y = Just (x / y)

-- Either: a value or an error
data Either a b = Left a | Right b

-- convention: Left = error, Right = success
parse :: String -> Either String Int
parse s = Right (read s)

Tuples & List Types

Tuples (a, b) hold a fixed number of values of possibly different types. Lists [a] hold any number of values of the same type. A tuple's type encodes its size; a list's type does not.

haskell
-- tuple: (a, b)
pair :: (Int, String)
pair = (1, "one")

-- list: [a]
nums :: [Int]
nums = [1, 2, 3]

-- list of tuples
pairs :: [(Int, String)]
pairs = [(1, "a"), (2, "b")]

-- empty list keeps the polymorphic type
empty :: [a]
empty = []
03

Classes de types

Classe de type Eq

Eq définit la comparaison d'égalité

haskell
-- name, parameters, '=', body
double :: Int -> Int
double x = x * 2

-- application: just a space, no parentheses
> double 5
10

-- multiple parameters (curried)
add :: Int -> Int -> Int
add x y = x + y

> add 3 4
7

Show et Read

Classes de types Show/Read

haskell
-- application is left-associative
> max 3 5
5
> max (max 3 5) 7
7

-- '$' has the lowest precedence, right-associative
> sum (map (*2) [1..5])
30
> sum $ map (*2) [1..5]   -- same, fewer parens

-- chain reads left to right
> putStrLn $ show $ sum [1..10]
55

Num et Ord

Num pour les opérations numériques, Ord pour la comparaison d'ordre

haskell
-- wrap an operator in () to use as a function
> (+) 2 3
5
> (*) 4 5
20

-- sections: partial application of operators
> (+10) 5
15
> (3/) 12
0.25
> (/3) 12
4.0

-- backticks make a function infix
> 10 `div` 3
3
> 10 `mod` 3
1

Classe de type Functor

Functor est mappable

haskell
-- (.) composes functions right to left
(.) :: (b -> c) -> (a -> b) -> a -> c
(f . g) x = f (g x)

> negate . sum $ [1,2,3]
-6

-- chaining
fn = ceiling . negate . tan
> fn (pi/4)
-1

-- point-free style
odd' = not . even

Contraintes de type

À gauche de => se trouve la contrainte de type

haskell
-- functions are first-class values
applyTwice :: (a -> a) -> a -> a
applyTwice f x = f (f x)

> applyTwice (+3) 10
16
> applyTwice (\x -> x*x) 2
16

-- pass functions to higher-order functions
> map (*2) [1..5]
[2,4,6,8,10]
> filter even [1..6]
[2,4,6]

Infix & Prefix

Any binary function can be written infix between backticks (3 `elem` xs), and any operator can be written prefix in parentheses (mod 10 3). Choose whichever reads more naturally in context.

haskell
-- infix operators can be written prefix with ()
> mod 10 3
1
> div 10 3
3

-- functions can be written infix with backticks
> 10 `mod` 3
1
> 10 `div` 3
3

-- elem: membership test, often infix
> 3 `elem` [1,2,3]
True
04

Fonctions

Définition de fonction

Les appels de fonction n'ont pas besoin de parenthèses

haskell
-- lists are homogeneous linked lists
nums :: [Int]
nums = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]

-- strings are [Char]
chars = ['h','e','l','l','o']
str   = "hello"   -- same as chars

-- empty list
empty = []

-- cons (prepend) is O(1)
> 0 : [1,2,3]
[0,1,2,3]

Fonctions multi-paramètres

Toutes les fonctions sont à paramètre unique (curryfiées)

haskell
-- ranges
> [1..5]
[1,2,3,4,5]

-- with a step (first two elements)
> [2,4..10]
[2,4,6,8,10]

-- decreasing needs the step
> [5,4..1]
[5,4,3,2,1]

-- infinite lists (lazy)
> take 5 [1..]
[1,2,3,4,5]

> take 3 (cycle [1,2])
[1,2,1]

Opérateurs comme fonctions

() enveloppe un opérateur comme fonction

haskell
-- basic access (partial: crash on empty)
> head [1,2,3]
1
> tail [1,2,3]
[2,3]
> last [1,2,3]
3
> init [1,2,3]
[1,2]

-- safe helpers
> length [1,2,3]
3
> null []
True
> reverse [1,2,3]
[3,2,1]

Composition de fonctions

. opérateur compose les fonctions

haskell
-- '++' concatenates two lists
> [1,2] ++ [3,4]
[1,2,3,4]

-- ':' prepends a single element (O(1))
> 1 : [2,3]
[1,2,3]

-- concat flattens one level
> concat [[1,2],[3,4],[5]]
[1,2,3,4,5]

-- intercalate joins with a separator
> intercalate ", " ["a","b","c"]
"a, b, c"

Clause where

where définit des aides en bas d'une fonction

haskell
-- like mathematical set-builder notation
> [x*2 | x <- [1..5]]
[2,4,6,8,10]

-- with a predicate (filter)
> [x | x <- [1..10], even x]
[2,4,6,8,10]

-- multiple generators = Cartesian product
> [(x,y) | x <- [1,2], y <- ['a','b']]
[(1,'a'),(1,'b'),(2,'a'),(2,'b')]

-- with a let binding
> [x*y | x <- [1..3], let y = x+1]
[2,6,12]

Common List Functions

elem checks membership (often infix). sum and product reduce lists of numbers. take/drop extract or remove a prefix. splitAt splits at an index into a pair. All return new lists since lists are immutable.

haskell
-- membership (often written infix)
> elem 3 [1,2,3]
True
> 3 `elem` [1,2,3]
True

-- reductions
> sum [1..10]
55
> product [1..5]
120

-- take / drop a prefix
> take 3 [1..10]
[1,2,3]
> drop 3 [1..10]
[4,5,6,7,8,9,10]

-- split at an index
> splitAt 3 [1..6]
([1,2,3],[4,5,6])
05

Filtrage par motif

Filtrage par motif de base

Correspondance dans l'ordre, _ correspond à tout

haskell
-- tuples can hold different types
pair :: (Int, String)
pair = (1, "hello")

triple :: (Int, String, Double)
triple = (1, "x", 3.14)

-- the size is part of the type
-- (1,2) and (1,2,3) are different types

Filtrage par motif de liste

: sépare la tête et la queue

haskell
-- fst/snd only work on pairs
> fst (1, "a")
1
> snd (1, "a")
"a"

-- swap exchanges the components
> swap (1, 2)
(2,1)

-- these do NOT work on triples
> fst (1, 2, 3)   -- type error!

Filtrage par motif de tuple

Correspondance à chaque position d'un tuple

haskell
-- destructure a tuple by position
describe :: (Int, String) -> String
describe (n, s) = show n ++ ": " ++ s

-- ignore components with _
firstOf :: (a, b, c) -> a
firstOf (x, _, _) = x

-- in a list comprehension
> [n | (n, _) <- [(1,'a'),(2,'b')]]
[1,2]

Motif as

@ conserve toute la valeur correspondante

haskell
-- zip pairs elements from two lists
> zip [1,2,3] ['a','b','c']
[(1,'a'),(2,'b'),(3,'c')]

-- stops at the shorter list
> zip [1,2,3] [4,5]
[(1,4),(2,5)]

-- unzip splits a list of pairs
> unzip [(1,'a'),(2,'b')]
([1,2],"ab")

Expression case

case pour le filtrage par motif dans un corps de fonction

haskell
-- list: same type, variable length
ints :: [Int]
ints = [1, 2, 3]

-- tuple: mixed types, fixed length
mixed :: (Int, String, Bool)
mixed = (1, "x", True)

-- list of tuples (tabular data)
people :: [(String, Int)]
people = [("Alice",30),("Bob",25)]

-- cannot mix types in a list
> [1, "two"]   -- type error
06

Gardes

Gardes de base

otherwise est un alias pour True

haskell
-- match on literals, top to bottom
lucky :: Int -> String
lucky 7 = "LUCKY SEVEN!"
lucky _ = "Sorry, you're out of luck"

> lucky 7
"LUCKY SEVEN!"
> lucky 13
"Sorry, you're out of luck"

Gardes multi-paramètres

Les gardes vérifient dans l'ordre

haskell
-- empty list
isEmpty [] = True
isEmpty _  = False

-- head and tail (cons pattern)
head' :: [a] -> a
head' (x:_) = x

-- first two elements
firstTwo :: [a] -> [a]
firstTwo (x:y:_) = [x,y]
firstTwo xs      = xs

where avec gardes

where peut être partagé par toutes les gardes

haskell
-- match by position
addPair :: (Int, Int) -> Int
addPair (x, y) = x + y

-- nested patterns
getAge :: (String, (Int, Int)) -> Int
getAge (_, (age, _)) = age

-- ignore with _
nameOf :: (String, Int) -> String
nameOf (name, _) = name

As Patterns

As-patterns (name@pattern) bind a name to the whole matched value while also destructuring it. Useful when you need both the original and its parts, avoiding costly reconstruction.

haskell
-- '@' keeps the whole value AND its parts
firstLetter :: String -> String
firstLetter ""        = "Empty string!"
firstLetter all@(x:_) =
  "The first letter of " ++ all ++ " is " ++ [x]

> firstLetter "Haskell"
"The first letter of Haskell is H"

Case Expressions

case performs pattern matching within an expression. It's useful when a function's body needs to branch on a value computed after some setup. Patterns are tried in order; add a catch-all if needed.

haskell
-- pattern match inside any expression
describe :: [a] -> String
describe xs =
  case xs of
    []  -> "empty"
    [_] -> "singleton"
    _   -> "longer"

-- case on any value, e.g. an Ordering
classify n = case compare n 0 of
  LT -> "negative"
  EQ -> "zero"
  GT -> "positive"

Constructor Patterns

Patterns can match data constructors like Red, Nothing, and Just. This is how algebraic data types are deconstructed. The compiler warns about non-exhaustive patterns, so cover all constructors.

haskell
-- match on data constructors
data Color = Red | Green | Blue

toString :: Color -> String
toString Red   = "red"
toString Green = "green"
toString Blue  = "blue"

-- match on Maybe
fromMaybe :: a -> Maybe a -> a
fromMaybe d Nothing  = d
fromMaybe _ (Just x) = x
07

Where / Let

Clause where

where se trouve en bas d'une définition de fonction

haskell
-- '|' tests boolean conditions in order
bmiTell :: Double -> String
bmiTell bmi
  | bmi <= 18.5 = "underweight"
  | bmi <= 25.0 = "normal"
  | bmi <= 30.0 = "overweight"
  | otherwise   = "obese"

> bmiTell 22.0
"normal"

Expression let-in

let-in est une expression, peut être utilisé n'importe où

haskell
-- otherwise is just True
otherwise :: Bool
otherwise = True

-- a signum implementation
signum' :: Int -> Int
signum' n
  | n < 0     = -1
  | n == 0    = 0
  | otherwise = 1

let dans un bloc do

let dans un bloc do n'a pas besoin de in

haskell
-- multiple parameters
max' :: Int -> Int -> Int
max' a b
  | a > b     = a
  | otherwise = b

-- shared helpers via where
bmiTell :: Double -> Double -> String
bmiTell w h
  | bmi <= 18.5 = "underweight"
  | bmi <= 25.0 = "normal"
  | otherwise   = "overweight"
  where bmi = w / h^2

let dans une compréhension de liste

let peut être utilisé dans les compréhensions de liste

haskell
-- pattern matching: fixed values/structure
factorial 0 = 1
factorial n = n * factorial (n-1)

-- guards: ranges and conditions
clamp :: Int -> Int -> Int -> Int
clamp lo hi x
  | x < lo     = lo
  | x > hi     = hi
  | otherwise  = x

if-then-else

In Haskell, 'if' is an expression that always returns a value—both branches are required. For multi-way branches, guards are cleaner than nested if-then-else. if-then-else suits simple two-way choices.

haskell
-- 'if' is an expression that returns a value
abs' :: Int -> Int
abs' n = if n < 0 then -n else n

-- nested ifs (prefer guards for readability)
grade :: Int -> Char
grade n =
  if n >= 90 then 'A'
  else if n >= 80 then 'B'
  else if n >= 70 then 'C'
  else 'F'
08

Listes

Bases des listes

Les listes sont des listes chaînées d'éléments de même type

haskell
-- where: definitions at the bottom, scoped to a function
area :: Double -> Double -> Double
area w h = w * h_adj
  where
    h_adj = h * 0.9    -- adjust height
    scale = 0.9        -- a helper

-- definitions can refer to each other
f x = a + b
  where a = x * 2
        b = a + 1      -- refers to a

Listes par intervalle

Supporte les pas et les listes infinies

haskell
-- let <bindings> in <expr>
cylinder :: Double -> Double -> Double
cylinder r h =
  let side = 2 * pi * r * h
      top  = pi * r^2
  in  side + 2 * top

-- scoped to the expression only
> let z = 5 in z * z
25
-- z is not in scope here

Opérations sur les listes

Fonctions d'opération de liste de base

haskell
-- in do, 'let' needs no 'in'
main = do
  let x = 5
      y = 10
  putStrLn $ "sum = " ++ show (x + y)

-- in a list comprehension, no 'in'
> [x*y | x <- [1..3], let y = x+1]
[2, 6, 12]

Concaténation de listes

++ concatène, : ajoute en tête

haskell
-- where bindings support pattern matching
describe :: [a] -> String
describe xs = "head is " ++ show first
  where (first:_) = xs

-- multiple where bindings
analyze :: [Int] -> String
analyze xs =
  "sum=" ++ show s ++ ", len=" ++ show l
  where s = sum xs
        l = length xs

Compréhension de liste

Similaire aux compréhensions d'ensembles mathématiques

haskell
-- let: an expression, available wherever expressions go
-- (needs 'in', except in do/comprehension)

-- where: a declaration, attached to a function
-- (cannot be nested as an expression)

-- same result, two styles:
-- with let:
f x = let y = x+1 in y*y

-- with where:
f' x = y*y where y = x+1
09

Tuples

Bases des tuples

Les tuples peuvent contenir différents types

haskell
-- base case + recursive case
factorial :: Int -> Int
factorial 0 = 1
factorial n = n * factorial (n - 1)

> factorial 5
120

Fonctions de tuple

fst/snd ne fonctionnent que sur les paires

haskell
-- match [] then (x:xs)
length' :: [a] -> Int
length' []     = 0
length' (_:xs) = 1 + length' xs

sum' :: Num a => [a] -> a
sum' []     = 0
sum' (x:xs) = x + sum' xs

Filtrage par motif de tuple

Le filtrage par motif déstructure les tuples

haskell
-- carry the running result in an accumulator
factorial :: Int -> Int
factorial n = go n 1
  where
    go 0 acc = acc
    go k acc = go (k-1) (k*acc)

-- sum with an accumulator
sumTo :: Int -> Int
sumTo n = go n 0
  where go 0 acc = acc
        go k acc = go (k-1) (k+acc)

Quick Sort

This famous example shows Haskell's expressiveness: list comprehensions split around a pivot, then recursively sort each part. Not the most efficient quicksort, but a beautiful demo of recursion and comprehensions.

haskell
-- elegant but not in-place quicksort
qsort :: Ord a => [a] -> [a]
qsort [] = []
qsort (p:xs) =
  qsort smaller ++ [p] ++ qsort larger
  where
    smaller = [x | x <- xs, x <  p]
    larger  = [x | x <- xs, x >= p]

> qsort [3,1,4,1,5,9,2,6]
[1,1,2,3,4,5,6,9]

Mutual Recursion

Mutual recursion is when two or more functions call each other. Here even' and odd' reduce toward the base case 0. Both must be defined (order doesn't matter in a module).

haskell
-- functions calling each other
even' :: Int -> Bool
even' 0 = True
even' n = odd' (n - 1)

odd' :: Int -> Bool
odd' 0 = False
odd' n = even' (n - 1)

> even' 4
True
10

Fonctions d'ordre supérieur

map

map applique une fonction à chaque élément

haskell
-- map applies a function to every element
> map (*2) [1,2,3]
[2,4,6]

> map (+1) [1..5]
[2,3,4,5,6]

-- with a lambda
> map (\x -> x*x) [1..4]
[1,4,9,16]

-- strings are lists of chars
> map toUpper "hello"
"HELLO"

filter

filter garde les éléments qui satisfont le prédicat

haskell
-- keep elements satisfying a predicate
> filter even [1..10]
[2,4,6,8,10]

> filter (>3) [1,2,3,4,5]
[4,5]

-- with a lambda
> filter (\c -> c /= ' ') "hello world"
"helloworld"

-- count matches
> length (filter odd [1..100])
50

foldl et foldr

foldl pli à gauche, foldr pli à droite

haskell
-- foldl: left fold (function, seed, list)
> foldl (+) 0 [1..5]
15

-- foldr: right fold
> foldr (+) 0 [1..5]
15

-- associativity differs:
-- foldl: ((((0+1)+2)+3)+4)+5
-- foldr: 1+(2+(3+(4+(5+0))))

-- foldl1/foldr1 use the first element as seed
> foldl1 max [3,1,4,1,5]
5

zipWith

zipWith combine deux listes avec une fonction

haskell
-- apply a function to paired elements
> zipWith (+) [1,2,3] [10,20,30]
[11,22,33]

> zipWith (*) [1,2,3,4] [2,2,2,2]
[2,4,6,8]

-- combine strings
> zipWith (\a b -> a ++ b) ["a","b"] ["1","2"]
["a1","b2"]

-- stops at the shorter list
> zipWith max [1,5,3] [2,4,6,8]
[2,5,6]

Application de fonction $

L'opérateur $ réduit les parenthèses

haskell
-- scanl returns all intermediate accumulators
> scanl (+) 0 [1,2,3]
[0,1,3,6]

-- scanr from the right
> scanr (+) 0 [1,2,3]
[6,5,3,0]

-- running maximum
> scanl max 0 [3,1,4,1,5]
[0,3,3,4,4,5]

takeWhile & dropWhile

takeWhile stops at the first element failing the predicate; dropWhile drops the prefix that satisfies it. span splits a list at the first failing element. Great for prefix-based processing.

haskell
-- takeWhile: take while the predicate holds
> takeWhile (<5) [1,2,3,4,5,4,3]
[1,2,3,4]

-- dropWhile: drop while the predicate holds
> dropWhile (<5) [1,2,3,4,5,4,3]
[5,4,3]

-- span splits at the first failing element
> span (<3) [1,2,3,4,5]
([1,2],[3,4,5])

-- first word of a string
> takeWhile (/= ' ') "hello world"
"hello"

Map / Filter / Fold

Opérations chaînées

Combiner map/filter/fold

haskell
-- '\' defines a lambda (resembles the λ symbol)
> (\x -> x + 1) 5
6

-- used with map
> map (\x -> x * x) [1..4]
[1,4,9,16]

-- used with filter
> filter (\x -> x > 2) [1,2,3,4]

scan conserve tous les résultats intermédiaires

haskell
-- parameters separated by spaces

7

-- in zipWith
> zipWith (\x y -> x * y + 1) [1,2,3] [10,20,30]
[11,21,31]

takeWhile/dropWhile

Prendre/ignorer des éléments par condition

haskell
-- lambdas can pattern match their one argument
> map (\(a,b) -> a + b) [(1,2),(3,4)]
[3,7]

-- only ONE pattern, no fallthrough
-- this crashes if it doesn't match:
> (\(x:_) -> x) []   -- runtime error

Lambdas in Higher-Order

Lambdas shine with fold, filter, and map. They can return other functions (\x -> \y -> ...), demonstrating currying. Keep them short—long lambdas are clearer as named functions.

haskell
-- combining with fold
> foldl (\acc x -> acc + x*2) 0 [1,2,3]
12

-- with filter (infix via backticks)
> length . filter (\x -> x `mod` 2 == 0) $ [1..10]

Point-free Style

Point-free style omits explicit arguments, expressing functions via composition and application. It's concise but can hurt readability if overdone. Prefer it for short chains where the flow is obvious.

haskell
-- explicit: name every argument
sumSquares xs = sum (map (^2) xs)

-- point-free: omit arguments via composition
sumSquares' = sum . map (^2)

-- more examples
count p  = length . filter p
oddNums  = filter odd
negateAll = map negate

> map (flip (-) 1) [3,4,5]
[2,3,4]

-- divide from the other side
> map (flip div 2) [4,6,9]

Currying Explained

a -> b -> c means a -> (b -> c): a function taking 'a' and returning a function. Application is left-associative: f x y = (f x) y. This is why partial application works naturally.

haskell
-- this signature:
max :: Int -> Int -> Int

-- is actually: Int -> (Int -> Int)
-- max takes an Int and returns a function

-- step by step
> :t max 5
max 5 :: Int -> Int

> (max 5) 10
10

-- application is left-associative
> max 5 10 == ((max 5) 10)
True

Functions Returning Functions

Functions can return other functions, naturally arising from currying. This enables function factories: multiplyBy 2 creates a doubler. Partial application like greet "Hi" configures a function for later use.

haskell
-- return a function
multiplyBy :: Int -> (Int -> Int)
multiplyBy n = \x -> n * x

-- or equivalently (currying)
multiplyBy' n x = n * x

> let double = multiplyBy 2
> double 21
42

-- configure a function via partial application
greet :: String -> String -> String
greet greeting name = greeting ++ ", " ++ name
sayHi = greet "Hi"   -- a configured greeter

Curryfication

Application partielle

Toutes les fonctions sont automatiquement curryfiées

haskell
-- Eq: equality
> 5 == 5
True
> "a" /= "b"
True

-- Ord: ordering
> 3 < 5
True
> compare 3 5
LT

-- Show: convert to a string
> show 5
"5"
> show [1,2,3]
"[1,2,3]"

-- Read: parse from a string
> read "5" + 2

Application partielle infixe

Application partielle des opérateurs

haskell
-- '=>' constrains the type variables
(==) :: Eq a => a -> a -> Bool
(<)  :: Ord a => a -> a -> Bool
show :: Show a => a -> String

-- a function requiring Eq
elem :: Eq a => a -> [a] -> Bool
elem _ []     = False
elem x (y:ys) = x == y || elem x ys

-- multiple constraints
showMax :: (Ord a, Show a) => [a] -> String
showMax xs = show (maximum xs)

Fonction flip

flip échange l'ordre des arguments

haskell
-- declare a typeclass with method signatures
class Eq a where
  (==) :: a -> a -> Bool
  (/=) :: a -> a -> Bool
  -- default implementations
  x == y = not (x /= y)
  x /= y = not (x == y)

-- minimal: define either (==) or (/=)

Instance Declarations

instance Typeclass Type where implements a typeclass for a type. Each method must be defined unless a default exists. After this, TrafficLight values can use ==, /=, and show.

haskell
data TrafficLight = Red | Yellow | Green

instance Eq TrafficLight where
  Red == Red         = True
  Yellow == Yellow   = True
  Green == Green     = True
  _ == _             = False

instance Show TrafficLight where
  show Red    = "Red light"
  show Yellow = "Yellow light"
  show Green  = "Green light"

Numeric Typeclasses

The numeric hierarchy includes Num (all numbers), Fractional (supports /), and Integral (supports div, mod). Int and Double are different types—use fromIntegral to convert between them safely.

haskell
-- Num: basic numeric operations
(+) :: Num a => a -> a -> a
(*) :: Num a => a -> a -> a
negate :: Num a => a -> a

-- Fractional: supports division
(/) :: Fractional a => a -> a -> a

-- Integral: integer division
div, mod :: Integral a => a -> a -> a

-- convert between numeric types
> fromIntegral (length [1,2,3]) + 0.5
3.5

Deriving

Many typeclasses can be derived automatically: Eq, Ord, Show, Read, Enum, Bounded. This avoids writing boilerplate instances. Enum and Bounded enable range syntax ([Red ..]) and minBound/maxBound.

haskell
-- automatically derive common typeclasses
data Color = Red | Green | Blue
  deriving (Eq, Ord, Show, Read, Enum, Bounded)

> show Red
"Red"
> Red < Green
True
> minBound :: Color
Red
> [Red ..]
[Red,Green,Blue]

Composition

Composition de fonctions

. compose de droite à gauche

haskell
-- sum type: alternatives separated by '|'
data Bool' = False' | True'

-- pattern match on constructors
not' :: Bool' -> Bool'
not' True'  = False'
not' False' = True'

-- value constructors with no fields
data Weekday = Mon | Tue | Wed | Thu | Fri

Composition multi-fonctions

Composer en chaîne plusieurs fonctions

haskell
-- product type: constructors carry fields
data Point = Point Double Double

data Shape
  = Circle Double         -- radius
  | Rect Double Double    -- width, height

-- construct values
p = Point 1.0 2.0
c = Circle 5.0
r = Rect 3.0 4.0

Style point-free

Omettre les arguments, plus concis

haskell
-- a type parameter 'a' (like Maybe)
data Maybe' a = Nothing' | Just' a

-- a boxed value
data Box a = Box a

-- use it with any type
> Just' 5
Just' 5
> Box "hello"
Box "hello"

-- model failure with Maybe
divide :: Double -> Double -> Maybe' Double
divide _ 0 = Nothing'
divide x y = Just' (x/y)

Recursive Types

A type can refer to itself, forming recursive structures. IntList is a singly-linked list of Ints. Tree a is a binary tree. Pattern matching naturally recurses over such structures.

haskell
-- a custom linked list
data IntList = INil | ICons Int IntList

-- build the list 1,2,3
xs = ICons 1 (ICons 2 (ICons 3 INil))

-- a binary tree
data Tree a = Leaf | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)

tree = Node 1 (Node 2 Leaf Leaf) (Node 3 Leaf Leaf)

A BST with Functions

Algebraic data types pair naturally with recursive functions via pattern matching. This BST implementation inserts while keeping order, and inorder traversal flattens to a sorted list. ADTs plus recursion replace classes in OOP.

haskell
data Tree a = Leaf | Node a (Tree a) (Tree a)

-- insert into a binary search tree
insert :: Ord a => a -> Tree a -> Tree a
insert x Leaf = Node x Leaf Leaf
insert x (Node y l r)
  | x < y     = Node y (insert x l) r
  | otherwise = Node y l (insert x r)

-- inorder traversal yields a sorted list
inorder :: Tree a -> [a]
inorder Leaf         = []
inorder (Node x l r) = inorder l ++ [x] ++ inorder r

Enumerations

A sum type of nullary constructors acts like an enum. Deriving Enum enables succ/pred and range syntax ([North ..]); deriving Bounded gives minBound/maxBound. This is Haskell's idiomatic enumeration.

haskell
-- enum-like sum type
data Direction = North | East | South | West
  deriving (Eq, Ord, Enum, Bounded, Show)

-- enumerate via Enum
> [North .. West]
[North,East,South,West]

-- Bounded: the limits
> minBound :: Direction
North
> maxBound :: Direction
West

-- cycle through directions
next :: Direction -> Direction
next West = North
next d    = succ d

Monades

Monade Maybe

Maybe gère automatiquement la propagation des échecs

haskell
-- without records (positional, error-prone)
data Person0 = Person0 String Int String

-- with records (named fields)
data Person = Person
  { name :: String
  , age  :: Int
  , city :: String
  }

-- construct with field names (any order)
p1 = Person { name = "Alice", age = 30, city = "NYC" }

Monade List

La monade List représente un calcul non déterministe

haskell
-- field names are accessor functions
> name p1
"Alice"
> age p1
30

-- their types
> :t name
name :: Person -> String
> :t age
age :: Person -> Int

-- record patterns also work
greet :: Person -> String
greet (Person { name = n }) = "Hi, " ++ n

Monade IO

La monade IO isole les effets de bord

haskell
-- functional update: change only some fields
p2 = p1 { age = 31 }

-- the original is unchanged (immutable)
> age p1
30
> age p2
31

-- update multiple fields at once
p3 = p1 { age = 31, city = "LA" }

Opérateur bind

>>= est l'opération centrale des monades

haskell
-- match and bind fields by name
birthday :: Person -> Person
birthday p@Person { age = a } = p { age = a + 1 }

-- ignore unneeded fields
getName :: Person -> String
getName Person { name = n } = n

-- as-pattern keeps the whole record
isAdult :: Person -> Bool
isAdult p@Person { age = a } = a >= 18

return

return place une valeur dans un contexte de monade

haskell
-- field names share a top-level namespace
data Person  = Person  { name :: String }
data Company = Company { name :: String }
-- ERROR: 'name' clashes in the same module

-- workaround 1: prefix the fields
data Person'  = Person'  { personName :: String }
data Company' = Company' { companyName :: String }

-- workaround 2: language extensions
{-# LANGUAGE DuplicateRecordFields #-}

Foncteurs

fmap

fmap applique une fonction à une valeur dans un foncteur

haskell
-- file Geometry.hs
module Geometry
  ( sphereVolume    -- explicit export list
  , cubeVolume
  ) where

sphereVolume :: Float -> Float
sphereVolume r = (4/3) * pi * r^3

cubeVolume :: Float -> Float
cubeVolume s = s^3

-- a helper not in the export list is private
privateHelper = ...

Opérateur <$>

<$> est équivalent à fmap

haskell
-- import everything from Data.List
import Data.List

-- names are now in scope
> sort [3,1,2]
[1,2,3]
> nub [1,1,2,2,3]
[1,2,3]

-- import specific functions
import Data.Maybe (fromMaybe)

-- qualified: use the full module name
import qualified Data.Map as M
> M.empty

Foncteur de fonction

fmap sur les fonctions est .

haskell
-- import only specific names
import Data.List (sort, nub, group)

-- import everything except some
import Data.List hiding (head, tail)

-- import a type without its constructors
import Data.Tree (Tree, Node)

-- import constructors too
import Data.Tree (Tree(..))

Qualified Imports

Qualified imports force the module prefix, preventing clashes (e.g., Prelude's filter vs Data.Map's). import qualified M as M is idiomatic. Use qualified for modules with many overlapping names.

haskell
-- avoid name clashes with qualified
import qualified Data.Map as Map
import qualified Data.Set as Set

m = Map.empty
s = Set.fromList [1,2,3]

-- Prelude's filter vs Data.Map's
> filter even [1..6]
[2,4,6]
> Map.filter (>2) (Map.fromList [(1,'a'),(3,'b')])
fromList [(3,'b')]

Prelude

Prelude is the default import, providing common functions and types. Hide entries to avoid clashes or to use better alternatives (e.g., foldl' from Data.List). Many projects use custom preludes.

haskell
-- Prelude is imported by default
-- provides: map, filter, length, (+), etc.

-- hide entries to avoid clashes
import Prelude hiding (head, tail, foldl)

-- use better alternatives
import Data.List (foldl')   -- strict fold

-- common standard modules
import Data.List
import Data.Maybe
import Data.Char
import Data.Either

Module Hierarchy

Module names are hierarchical and mirror the directory structure: A.B.C lives in A/B/C.hs. A module can re-export another with 'module M' in its export list, useful for bundling a public API.

haskell
-- hierarchical names mirror directories
-- module Data.Geometry.Sphere where
-- lives in: Data/Geometry/Sphere.hs

-- import nested modules
import Data.Geometry.Sphere
import Data.Geometry.Cube

-- re-export a whole module
module MyMod
  ( module Data.List    -- re-export
  , myFunc
  ) where

import Data.List
myFunc = sort

haskell
-- IO actions produce effects when run
greet :: IO ()
greet = do
  putStrLn "What's your name?"
  name <- getLine
  putStrLn ("Hello, " ++ name)

-- run in GHCi
> greet
What's your name?
Alice
Hello, Alice

Application de fonction pure

pure place une valeur dans un applicatif

haskell
-- every program starts in main
main :: IO ()
main = putStrLn "Hello, World!"

-- combine actions with do
main = do
  greet
  putStrLn "Done."

-- command-line arguments
import System.Environment
main = do
  args <- getArgs
  print args

Applicatif List

List <*> est un produit cartésien

haskell
-- do is sugar for sequential actions
echo = do
  s <- getLine
  putStrLn s

-- desugars to bind (>>=)
echo' = getLine >>= putStrLn

-- 'let' needs no 'in' inside do
greet = do
  let msg = "Hi!"
  putStrLn msg

Input Functions

getLine reads a line (without newline), getChar a single character, getContents lazily reads all of stdin. Use '<-' to bind results. getContents is lazy—great for streaming pipelines.

haskell
-- read a line (without the newline)
> line <- getLine
hello world
> line
"hello world"

-- read a single character
> c <- getChar
a> c
'a'

-- read all of stdin lazily
process = do
  text <- getContents
  putStr (map toUpper text)

Output Functions

putStrLn and putStr write a String to stdout, with/without a trailing newline. print equals putStrLn . show, so it adds quotes around strings. Choose based on newline needs and whether the value is a String.

haskell
-- with a trailing newline
putStrLn :: String -> IO ()
-- without a newline
putStr   :: String -> IO ()
-- any Show-able value
print    :: Show a => a -> IO ()

> putStrLn "hi"   -- hi
> putStr "hi"     -- hi (no newline)
> print 5         -- 5
> print "hi"      -- "hi" (with quotes)

File IO

readFile reads lazily, writeFile overwrites, appendFile adds to the end. Use bracket to ensure resources close on exceptions. Files are addressed by FilePath (an alias for String).

haskell
-- read a whole file (lazy)
readFile :: FilePath -> IO String

-- write a file (overwrites)
writeFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()

-- append to a file
appendFile :: FilePath -> String -> IO ()

main = do
  contents <- readFile "input.txt"
  writeFile "output.txt" (map toUpper contents)

-- safe resource handling
import Control.Exception (bracket)

> (+1) <$> Just 5

-- bind chains dependent computations
> Just 3 >>= \x -> Just (x+1)
Just 4
> Nothing >>= \x -> Just (x+1)
Nothing

-- '>>' ignores the left result
> putStrLn "a" >> putStrLn "b"

Interaction

getLine lit une ligne d'entrée

haskell
-- do notation
greet = do
  name <- getLine
  putStrLn ("Hi " ++ name)

-- desugars to bind
greet' = getLine >>= \name ->
         putStrLn ("Hi " ++ name)

-- 'let' becomes a regular binding
compute = do
  let x = 5
  print (x * x)
-- desugars to:
compute' = let x = 5 in print (x*x)

Maybe Monad Chain

Maybe's Monad short-circuits: once a step returns Nothing, the whole computation is Nothing without further work. do hides the manual Nothing-checking, making failure propagation automatic and clean.

haskell
-- short-circuit on Nothing
safeDiv :: Double -> Double -> Maybe Double
safeDiv _ 0 = Nothing
safeDiv x y = Just (x / y)

-- chain with do (auto-propagates failure)
calc = do
  a <- safeDiv 10 2
  b <- safeDiv a 2
  return (b + 1)

> calc
Just 3.5

-- any Nothing stops the whole chain
> safeDiv 10 0 >>= \a -> safeDiv a 2
Nothing

List Monad

The list monad models non-determinism: each bind explores all possibilities, producing the Cartesian product. do over lists is equivalent to list comprehensions. This unifies comprehension and monadic styles.

haskell
-- list bind = non-deterministic computation
> [1,2] >>= \x -> [x, x*10]
[1,10,2,20]

-- do over lists == list comprehension
pairs = do
  x <- [1,2]
  y <- ['a','b']
  return (x, y)

> pairs
[(1,'a'),(1,'b'),(2,'a'),(2,'b')]

-- equivalent comprehension
> [(x,y) | x <- [1,2], y <- ['a','b']]

newtype Count   = Count Int

-- pattern match or unwrap the field
addDollars :: Dollars -> Dollars -> Dollars
addDollars (Dollars a) (Dollars b) = Dollars (a + b)

-- distinct type: can't mix with raw Double
total :: Dollars
total = addDollars (Dollars 10) (Dollars 20)

Désucrage do

do est du sucre syntaxique pour >>=

haskell
-- type: just a synonym (no new type, no safety)
type Score = Int

-- newtype: distinct type, zero cost, one field
newtype Score' = Score' Int

-- data: full ADT, runtime cost,
-- can have multiple constructors/fields
data Score'' = Score'' Int | Bonus Int

-- newtype is strict: exactly one
-- constructor and one field, but a distinct type

newtype for New Instances

newtype lets you attach different typeclass instances to the same underlying type. Sum and Product wrap the same number but have different Monoid instances (addition vs multiplication). A common, powerful pattern.

haskell
-- wrap to attach different typeclass instances
newtype Sum a = Sum { getSum :: a }

instance Num a => Monoid (Sum a) where
  mempty = Sum 0
  Sum a `mappend` Sum b = Sum (a + b)

newtype Product a = Product { getProduct :: a }
-- different Monoid: multiplication

-- same underlying type, different behavior
> getSum (Sum 3 <> Sum 4)
7
> getProduct (Product 3 <> Product 4)
12

Parameterized Synonyms

Type synonyms can take parameters, acting as lightweight abstractions. AssocList k v is [(k,v)], making signatures self-documenting. Use them for clarity, but remember they're just aliases with no type safety.

haskell
-- type synonyms can take parameters
type AssocList k v = [(k, v)]

-- used in signatures (self-documenting)
lookup :: Eq k => k -> AssocList k v -> Maybe v
lookup _ [] = Nothing
lookup k ((k',v):rest)
  | k == k'   = Just v
  | otherwise = lookup k rest

-- more examples
type Parser a = String -> Maybe (a, String)
type Matrix a = [[a]]
