Methods

  • writer :: (a, w) -> m a

    writer (a,w) embeds a simple writer action.

  • tell :: w -> m ()

    tell w is an action that produces the output w.

  • listen :: m a -> m (a, w)

    listen m is an action that executes the action m and adds its output to the value of the computation.

  • pass :: m (a, w -> w) -> m a

    pass m is an action that executes the action m, which returns a value and a function, and returns the value, applying the function to the output.

valuelistens :: MonadWriter w m => (w -> b) -> m a -> m (a, b)
#

listens f m is an action that executes the action m and adds the result of applying f to the output to the value of the computation.

valuecensor :: MonadWriter w m => (w -> w) -> m a -> m a
#

censor f m is an action that executes the action m and applies the function f to its output, leaving the return value unchanged.
