Identity
The identity functor is an even simpler container than Maybe
. It always
contains exactly one element. Thus, foldl
should return the result of
combining this element with the initial accumulator value:
instance Foldable Identity where
foldl f init (Identity x) = f init x
foldMap
always returns simply f x
for the element x
stored in the
container:
instance Foldable Identity where
foldMap f (Identity x) = f x
