Description

A backtracking, logic programming monad.

Adapted from the paper /Backtracking, Interleaving, and Terminating Monad Transformers/, by Oleg Kiselyov, Chung-chieh Shan, Daniel P. Friedman, Amr Sabry (http://www.cs.rutgers.edu/~ccshan/logicprog/LogicT-icfp2005.pdf).

Synopsis

Documentation

The Logic monad

type Logic = LogicT Identity

The basic Logic monad, for performing backtracking computations returning values of type a

logic :: (forall r. (a -> r -> r) -> r -> r) -> Logic a

A smart constructor for Logic computations.

runLogic :: Logic a -> (a -> r -> r) -> r -> r

Runs a Logic computation with the specified initial success and failure continuations.

observe :: Logic a -> a

Extracts the first result from a Logic computation.

observeMany :: Int -> Logic a -> [a]

Extracts up to a given number of results from a Logic computation.

observeAll :: Logic a -> [a]

Extracts all results from a Logic computation.

The LogicT monad transformer

newtype LogicT m a

A monad transformer for performing backtracking computations layered over another monad m

Fields

unLogicT :: forall r. (a -> m r -> m r) -> m r -> m r
 

runLogicT :: LogicT m a -> (a -> m r -> m r) -> m r -> m r
