I did not mean to include functions that take type constructors as parameters (so lists are out of my discussion scope). I am only considering functions that uses type variables that are not restricted by typeclasses.
There is const:
const :: a -> b -> a const x _ = x
And of course a family of const like functions:
const' :: a -> b -> c -> a const' x _ _ = x
and so on...
Of course const is related to id.
There is also undefined:
undefined :: a undefined = undefined
You can extend this with arguments:
f :: a -> b f x = undefined
or even:
f x = f x
and so on ...
Is this what you are looking for?
Yes, I thought about these too. Do you find these functions practically useful? Can you give an example where I can utilize these functions? Thanks for the response
