Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.Lazy

The lazy WriterT monad transformer, which adds collection of outputs (such as a count or string output) to a given monad.

This monad transformer provides only limited access to the output during the computation. For more general access, use Control.Monad.Trans.State instead.

This version builds its output lazily; for a constant-space version with almost the same interface, see Control.Monad.Trans.Writer.CPS.

Synopsis

The Writer monad

The WriterT monad transformer

newtypenewtype WriterT w (m :: Type -> Type) a

A writer monad parameterized by:

  • w - the output to accumulate.

  • m - The inner monad.

The return function produces the output mempty, while m >>= k combines the outputs of the subcomputations using mappend (also known as <>):
