    Haskell Making Our Own Types and Typeclasses http://igm.univ-mlv.fr/~vialette/?section=teaching St´ephaneVialette LIGM, Universit´eParis-Est Marne-la-Vall´ee November 13, 2016 Making Our Own Types and Typeclasses Algebraic data types intro So far, we've run into a lot of data types: Bool, Int, Char, Maybe, etc. But how do we make our own? One way is to use the data keyword to define a type. Let's see how the Bool type is defined in the standard library. data Bool= False| True data means that we're defining a new data type. Making Our Own Types and Typeclasses Algebraic data types intro data Bool= False| True The part before the = denotes the type, which is Bool. The parts after the = are value constructors. They specify the different values that this type can have. The | is read as or. So we can read this as: the Bool type can have a value of True or False. Both the type name and the value constructors have to be capital cased. Making Our Own Types and Typeclasses Algebraic data types intro We can think of the Int type as being defined like this: data Int=-2147483648|-2147483647| ...|-1|0|1|2| ...| 2147483647 The first and last value constructors are the minimum and maximum possible values of Int. It's not actually defined like this, the ellipses are here because we omitted a heapload of numbers, so this is just for illustrative purposes. Shape let's think about how we would represent a shape in Haskell.

To see the opportunity to improve ML’s type system, We describe a refinement of ML’s type system allow- consider the following function which returns the last ing the specification of recursively defined subtypes of cons cell in a list: user-defined datatypes. The resulting system of refine- ment types preserves desirable properties of ML such as datatype α list = nil | cons of α * α list decidability of type inference, while at the same time fun lastcons (last as cons(hd,nil)) = last allowing more errors to be detected at compile-time. | lastcons (cons(hd,tl)) = lastcons tl The type system combines abstract interpretation with We know that this function will be undefined when ideas from the intersection type discipline, but remains called on an empty list, so we would like to obtain a closely tied to ML in that refinement types are given type error at compile-time when lastcons is called with only to programs which are already well-typed in ML. an argument of nil. Using refinement types this can be achieved, thus preventing runtime errors which could be 1 Introduction caught at compile-time.

  • Haskell-Style Type Classes with Isabelle/Isar
    Isar ∀ Isabelle= α λ β → Haskell-style type classes with Isabelle/Isar Florian Haftmann 20 February 2021 Abstract This tutorial introduces Isar type classes, which are a convenient mech- anism for organizing specifications. Essentially, they combine an op- erational aspect (in the manner of Haskell) with a logical aspect, both managed uniformly. 1 INTRODUCTION 1 1 Introduction Type classes were introduced by Wadler and Blott [8] into the Haskell lan- guage to allow for a reasonable implementation of overloading1. As a canon- ical example, a polymorphic equality function eq :: α ) α ) bool which is overloaded on different types for α, which is achieved by splitting introduc- tion of the eq function from its overloaded definitions by means of class and instance declarations: 2 class eq where eq :: α ) α ) bool instance nat :: eq where eq 0 0 = True eq 0 - = False eq - 0 = False eq (Suc n)(Suc m) = eq n m instance (α::eq; β::eq) pair :: eq where eq (x1; y1) (x2; y2) = eq x1 x2 ^ eq y1 y2 class ord extends eq where less-eq :: α ) α ) bool less :: α ) α ) bool Type variables are annotated with (finitely many) classes; these annotations are assertions that a particular polymorphic type provides definitions for overloaded functions. Indeed, type classes not only allow for simple overloading but form a generic calculus, an instance of order-sorted algebra [5, 6, 10]. From a software engineering point of view, type classes roughly correspond to interfaces in object-oriented languages like Java; so, it is naturally desirable that type classes do not only provide functions (class parameters) but also state specifications implementations must obey.

  • Java Class Types 12 September
    CSCI 136: Fall 2018 Handout 3 Java Class Types 12 September Class Types We noted earlier that the String type in Java was not a primitive (or array) type. It is what Java calls a class- based (or class) type—this is the third category of types in Java. Class types, are based on class declarations. Class declarations allow us to create objects that can hold more complex collections of data, along with operations for accessing/modifying that data. For example public class Student { private int age; private String name; private char grade; public Student(int theAge, String theName, char theGrade) { age = theAge; name = theName; grade = theGrade; } public int getAge() { return age;} public String getName() { return name;} public char getGrade() { return grade;} public void setAge(int newAge) { age = newAge;} public void setGrade(char grade) { this.grade = grade;} } The above, grotesquely oversimplified, class declaration specifies the data components (instance variables) of a Stu- dent object, along with a method (called a constructor∗) describing how to create such objects, and several short methods for accessing/modifying the data components (fields/instance variables) of a Student object. Given such a class declaration, one can write programs that declare (and create) variables of type Student: Student a; Student b; a = new Student(18, "Patti Smith", ’A’); b = new Student(20, "Joan Jett", ’B’); Or, combining the declaration of the variables and creation (instantiation) of the corresponding values (objects): Student a = new Student(18, "Patti Smith", ’A’); Student b = new Student(20, "Joan Jett", ’B’); The words public and private are called access level modifiers; they control the extent to which other classes can create, access, or modify objects, their fields, and their methods.
