Monads
Headline
Lecture "Monads" as part of Course:Lambdas in Koblenz
Description
Applications of pure functions return the same result whenever provided with the same arguments; they do not have any side effects. This may be viewed as a limitation when we need to model more general computations in functional programming. However, there is a functional programming abstraction, the monad, which comes to rescue. A monad is essentially an abstract data type to facilitate the composition of computations as opposed to functions. There are various monads to deal with all the computations effects that one may encounter, e.g., the State monad, the Maybe monad, the Reader monad, the Writer monad, and the IO monad. In modern Haskell, monads also interact with and relate to applicative functor, which may, in fact, also provide an alternative to the use of monads in some cases, but we limit our discussion to monads here for brevity.
