Something like "maybe" function? 31.07.2018 10:07, Marc Busqué wrotes:
Hi!
I have two functions:
``` foo :: a -> Maybe b bar :: a -> Maybe c ```
From which I want to build a higher order function:
``` foobar :: a -> (a -> Maybe b) -> (a -> Maybe c) -> Either b c ```
The implementation I need is:
``` foobar x f g = case (f x) of Nothing -> g x Just y -> Just y ```
I'm a bit surprised that looking at hoogle I don't find a built-in solution for this quite common need for `Maybe` types (or perhaps for any monad).
Am I looking in the wrong way? Does it exist a similar abstraction but with a different shape?
Thanks in advance,
