Basic data types
data Bool
The Bool type is an enumeration. It is defined with False first so that the corresponding Enum instance will give fromEnum False the value zero, and fromEnum True the value 1.
Constructors
False
True
Instances
IArray UArray Bool
(Ix ix) => Eq (UArray ix Bool)
(Ix ix) => Ord (UArray ix Bool)
(Ix ix, Show ix) => Show (UArray ix Bool)

data Maybe a

The Maybe type encapsulates an optional value. A value of type Maybe a either contains a value of type a (represented as Just a), or it is empty (represented as Nothing). Using Maybe is a good way to deal with errors or exceptional cases without resorting to drastic measures such as error.

The Maybe type is also a monad. It is a simple kind of error monad, where all errors are represented by Nothing. A richer error monad can be built using the Either type.

Constructors
Nothing
Just a
Instances
MonadPlus Maybe
MonadFix Maybe
(Typeable a) => Typeable (Maybe a)
Functor Maybe
Monad Maybe
(Read a) => Read (Maybe a)
(Show a) => Show (Maybe a)
data Either a b

The Either type represents values with two possibilities: a value of type Either a b is either Left a or Right b.

The Either type is sometimes used to represent a value which is either correct or an error; by convention, the Left constructor is used to hold an error value and the Right constructor is used to hold a correct value (mnemonic: "right" also means "correct").

Constructors
Left a
Right b
Instances
Functor (Either e)
(Error e) => Monad (Either e)
(Error e) => MonadPlus (Either e)
(Error e) => MonadFix (Either e)
(Error e) => MonadError e (Either e)
(Typeable a, Typeable b) => Typeable (Either a b)
(Read a, Read b) => Read (Either a b)
(Show a, Show b) => Show (Either a b)
data Ordering
Represents an ordering relationship between two values: less than, equal to, or greater than. An Ordering is returned by compare.
Constructors
LT
EQ
GT
Instances
Typeable Ordering
Ix Ordering
Bounded Ordering
Enum Ordering
Read Ordering
Show Ordering
data Char

The character type Char is an enumeration whose values represent Unicode characters. A character literal in Haskell has type Char.

To convert a Char to or from an Int, use toEnum and fromEnum from the Enum class respectively (equivalently ord and chr also do the trick).

type String = [Char]
A String is a list of characters. String constants in Haskell are values of type String.
data Int
A fixed-precision integer type with at least the range [-2^29 .. 2^29-1]. The exact range for a given implementation can be determined by using minBound and maxBound from the Bounded class.

data IO a

A value of type IO a is a computation which, when performed, does some I/O before returning a value of type a.

There is really only one way to "perform" an I/O action: bind it to Main.main in your program. When your program is run, the I/O will be performed. It isn't possible to perform I/O from an arbitrary function, unless that function is itself in the IO monad and called at some point, directly or indirectly, from Main.main.

IO is a monad, so IO actions can be combined using either the do-notation or the >> and >>= operations from the Monad class.

Basic type classes
class Eq a where

The Eq class defines equality (==) and inequality (/=). All the basic datatypes exported by the Prelude are instances of Eq, and Eq may be derived for any datatype whose constituents are also instances of Eq.

Minimal complete definition: either == or /=.

Simple I/O operations
ioError :: Exception -> IO a

A variant of throw that can be used within the IO monad.

Although ioError has a type that is an instance of the type of throw, the two functions are subtly different:

 throw e   `seq` return ()  ===> throw e
 ioError e `seq` return ()  ===> return ()

The first example will cause the exception e to be raised, whereas the second one won't. In fact, ioError will only cause an exception to be raised when it is used within the IO monad. The ioError variant should be used in preference to throw to raise an exception within the IO monad because it guarantees ordering with respect to other IO operations, whereas throw does not.

otherwise is defined as the value True; it helps to make guards more readable. eg.
