Description

The Num class and the Integer type.

Synopsis

Documentation

class Num a where Source #

Basic numeric class.

The Haskell Report defines no laws for Num. However, (+) and (*) are customarily expected to define a ring and have the following properties:

Associativity of (+)
(x + y) + z = x + (y + z)
Commutativity of (+)
x + y = y + x
fromInteger 0 is the additive identity
x + fromInteger 0 = x
negate gives the additive inverse
x + negate x = fromInteger 0
Associativity of (*)
(x * y) * z = x * (y * z)
fromInteger 1 is the multiplicative identity
x * fromInteger 1 = x and fromInteger 1 * x = x
Distributivity of (*) with respect to (+)
a * (b + c) = (a * b) + (a * c) and (b + c) * a = (b * a) + (c * a)

Note that it isn't customarily expected that a type instance of both Num and Ord implement an ordered ring. Indeed, in base only Integer and Rational do.

Minimal complete definition

(+), (*), abs, signum, fromInteger, (negate | (-))

Methods

(+) :: a -> a -> a infixl 6 Source #

(-) :: a -> a -> a infixl 6 Source #

(*) :: a -> a -> a infixl 7 Source #

negate :: a -> a Source #

Unary negation.

abs :: a -> a Source #

Absolute value.

signum :: a -> a Source #

Sign of a number. The functions abs and signum should satisfy the law:

abs x * signum x == x

For real numbers, the signum is either -1 (negative), 0 (zero) or 1 (positive).

fromInteger :: Integer -> a Source #

Conversion from an Integer. An integer literal represents the application of the function fromInteger to the appropriate value of type Integer, so such literals have type (Num a) => a.

Instances

Num Double Source #

Note that due to the presence of NaN, not all elements of Double have an additive inverse.

>>> 0/0 + (negate 0/0 :: Double)
NaN

Also note that due to the presence of -0, Double's Num instance doesn't have an additive identity

>>> 0 + (-0 :: Double)
0.0

Since: base-2.1

Defined in GHC.Float

Num Float Source #

Note that due to the presence of NaN, not all elements of Float have an additive inverse.

>>> 0/0 + (negate 0/0 :: Float)
NaN

Also note that due to the presence of -0, Float's Num instance doesn't have an additive identity

>>> 0 + (-0 :: Float)
0.0

the same as flip (-).

Because - is treated specially in the Haskell grammar, (- e) is not a section, but an application of prefix negation. However, (subtract exp) is equivalent to the disallowed section.
