Termin­ology

Polymo­rphic Types
Families of types. For example, (forall a)[a] is the family of types consisting of, for every type a, the type of lists of a. Lists of integers (e.g. [1,2,3]), lists of characters (['a',­'b'­,'c']), even lists of lists of integers, etc., are all members of this family.
Type Variable
Lower case, can be of any type. e.g. fst::(a,b)->a
Typeclass
A sort of interface that defines some behavior. Basic type classes: Read, Show, Ord, Eq, Enum, Num. Num includes Int, Integer, Float, Double.
Higher­-or­dered Functions
A function that takes other functions as arguments or returns a function as result. Ex: foldl, folder­,zi­pWith, flip.
Module
A collection of related functions, types and typecl­asses
Refere­ntial Transp­arency
An expression is called refere­ntially transp­arent if it can be replaced with its corres­ponding value without changing the program's behavior.
 
substi­tuting equals for equals, different from other programing languages

Type Signatures

In type signature, specific (String) and general (a,b) types can be mixed and matched.
concat­3::­Str­ing­->S­tri­ng-­>St­rin­g->­String
concat3 x y z = x++y++z
const :: a->­b->a
const x y = x
allEqual :: (Eq a) => a -> a -> a -> Bool
allEqual x y z = x == y && y == z
(.)::(­b->­c)-­>(a­->b­)->­a->c
f.g = \x-> f (g x)
 
(\x->1­0+x)5
Lambda function, lead with \, then arguments, then ->, then the comput­ation

Data Types

Haskell uses various data types, all of them starts by a capital letter:
-Int: Integer number with fixed precision
-Integer: Integer number with virtually no limits
-Float: Floating number
-Bool: Boolean. Takes two values: True or False.
-Char: Character. Any character in the code is placed between quotes (').
-String: Strings (In fact, a list of Chars).

Properties of Haskell

Pure
No side effects in functions and expres­sions
 
No assignment operators such as ++ and =+
 
I/O is an exception
 
Promotes refere­ntial transp­arency
 
Once x is assigned to a value, the value stays
Functional
Use recursion instead of iteration
 
Allows operations on functions
Lazy
Don't do an operation unless you need the result.

Currying

Currying is the process of transf­orming a function that takes multiple arguments in a tuple as its argument, into a function that takes just a single argument and returns another function which accepts further arguments, one by one, that the original function would receive in the rest of that tuple.
from
g :: (a, b) -> c
to
f :: a -> (b -> c) 
f :: a -> (b -> c) 
is the same as
f :: a -> b -> c 
 g (x,y) = x + y 
is an uncurried function, has the type
g :: Num a => (a, a) -> a
 h x y = x + y
is a curried addition, has the type
h :: Num c => c -> c -> c
curry g
can convert it to a curried function

Fold List

Foldl takes a binary operation, a starting value, and the list to fold
foldl (-) 0 [3,5,8]
=>
 (((0 - 3) - 5) - 8)
=>
-16
foldl and foldr is under the type class
Foldable
foldl :: Foldable t => (b -> a -> b) -> b -> t a -> b
foldr :: Foldable t => (a -> b -> b) -> b -> t a -> b
elem' y ys = foldl (\acc x -> if x == y then True else acc) False ys
 

Notes

head_r­epeats n x = (take n x) == (take n (drop n x))

returns True if the first n elements of x equals the second n elements of x.If n ≤ 0, return True.
------­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­-----
swap_ends [] = []

swap_ends [y] = [y]

swap_ends x = last x : (reverse (drop 1 (reverse (drop 1 x))))++ [head x]

Define a function swap_ends that takes a list and returns the same list but with the first and last elements swapped.
------­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­-----
iterate via standard recursion
iterate1 n f

 | n <= 0 = id

| otherwise = f . (iterate1 (n-1) f)

iterate via foldl
iterate2 n f = foldl (.) id [f | i <- [1..n]]

------­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­---­-----
f1a :: (b, a) -> (a, b)

f1a = \(x, y) -> (y, x)

f1b :: a -> [a] -> [[a]]

f1b = \x y -> [[x], y]

f1c :: a -> a -> [a] -> [[a]]

f1c = \x y z -> [x : z, y : z]

f1d :: (a -> Bool) -> [a] -> Int

f1d f = length . (filter f)
(:) :: a -> [a] -> [a]

(++) :: [a] -> [a] -> [a]

++
is only used for list concat­ena­tion, whereas
:
is used for joining element with lists

Num class does not support /, Fractional does

Pattern Matching

(x:xs)
head x and tail xs
(x:3:xs)
list where 2nd element is 3
myData a _ c
ignore one of the component
data Pattern a = P a | POr (Pattern a) (Pattern a)| PAnd (Pattern a) (Pattern a) deriving Show
match pattern [] = (False, [])

match (P x) (y : ys) = if x == y then (True, ys) else (False, y : ys)

match (POr pat1 pat2) xs =case match pat1 xs of

(True, leftover) -> (True, leftover)

(False, _) -> match pat2 xs

match (PAnd pat1 pat2) xs =case match pat1 xs of 

 (False, _) -> (False, xs)

(True, leftover) ->case match pat2 leftover of 

(False, _) -> (False, xs)

(True, leftover2) -> (True, leftover2)

Regex Examples

Natural numbers with no leading zeros except just 0
0 | [1-9] \d*
Floating point numbers w/o leading zeros
(0 | [1-9] \d*.\d* | . \d+)?([eE][+-]?[0-9]+))
