A Tour of the Haskell Prelude
- abs
type: | abs :: Num a => a -> a
|
description: | returns the absolute value of a number. |
definition: | abs x
| x >= 0 = x
| otherwise = -x |
usage: | Prelude> abs (-3) 3 |
- all
type: | all :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Bool
|
description: | pplied to a predicate and a list, returns True if all elements of the list satisfy the predicate, and False otherwise. Similar to the function any. |
definition: | all p xs = and (map p xs) |
usage: | Prelude> all (<11) [1..10] True Prelude> all isDigit "123abc" False |
