What is monadic composition in Haskell?

Can you explain what monadic composition is in Haskell?

Sure! Monadic composition in Haskell refers to the way we can combine multiple monadic functions to create a new monadic function. It allows for chaining operations while maintaining the context of the monad.

How does it differ from regular function composition?

Great question! Regular function composition combines functions directly, while monadic composition involves the use of the monad's binding operation (>>=) to handle the context, such as side effects or computations.

Can you give me an example of monadic composition?

Absolutely! For instance, if you have two monadic functions, f and g, you can compose them like this: f >>= g. This means that the output of f is passed as input to g, all while managing the monadic context.

What are some common monads used in Haskell?

Some common monads in Haskell include Maybe, Either, and IO. Each serves different purposes, like handling optional values, error handling, and input/output operations.
