Sure! fmap is a function that applies a function to a value wrapped in a functor, like Maybe or List.

Can you give me an example of how to use fmap?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Of course! If you have a Maybe value, like Just 5, and you want to add 3, you can use fmap like this: fmap (+3) (Just 5) which results in Just 8.

What happens if I use fmap on Nothing?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

If you use fmap on Nothing, like fmap (+3) Nothing, it will simply return Nothing.

You

Is fmap only for Maybe, or can it be used with other types?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

fmap can be used with any functor, including Lists, Either, and more. It's a very versatile function!
