maybe

Types and predicates for type-checking and handling optional terms. Inspired by Haskell.

Availability:

Author: Paulo Moura
Version: 0:7:0
Date: 2021-01-03
Compilation flags:
static, context_switching_calls
Provides:
type::type/1
type::check/2
arbitrary::arbitrary/1
arbitrary::arbitrary/2
Uses:
optional
optional(Optional)
random
type
Remarks:

  • Type-checking support: Defines type maybe(Type) for checking optional terms where the value hold by the optional term must be of the given type.

  • QuickCheck support: Defines clauses for the arbitrary::arbitrary/1-2 predicates to allow generating random values for the maybe(Type) type.

Inherited public predicates:
(none)
