Can you give me an example of using a Functor?

MagicBuddy
MagicBuddy

Sure! For instance, if you have a list [1, 2, 3] and you want to add 1 to each element, you can use fmap (+1) [1, 2, 3], which results in [2, 3, 4].

What are the laws that Functors must obey?

MagicBuddy

Functors must obey two laws: the identity law, which states that fmap id = id, and the composition law, which states that fmap (f . g) = fmap f . fmap g.
