Monadification of functional programs

Monadification of functional programs

The structure of monadic functional programs allows the integration of many different features by just changing the definition of the monad and not the rest of the program, which is a desirable feature from a software engineering and software maintenance point of view. We describe an algorithm for the automatic transformation of a group of functions into such a monadic form. We identify two cor...

the effect of functional/notional approach on the proficiency level of efl learners and its evaluation through functional test

in fact, this study focused on the following questions: 1. is there any difference between the effect of functional/notional approach and the structural approaches to language teaching on the proficiency test of efl learners? 2. can a rather innovative language test referred to as "functional test" ge devised so so to measure the proficiency test of efl learners, and thus be as much reliable an...

Transforming Functional Logic Programs into Monadic Functional Programs

We present a high-level transformation scheme to translate lazy functional logic programs into pure Haskell programs. This transformation is based on a recent proposal to efficiently implement lazy non-deterministic computations in Haskell in a monadic style. We build on this work and define a systematic method to transform lazy functional logic programs into monadic programs with explicit shar...

Implementing Functional Logic Programs by Translation into Purely Functional Programs

From Functional Logic Programs to Purely Functional Programs Preserving Laziness

Functional logic languages extend the setting of functional programming by non-deterministic choices, free variables and narrowing. Most existing approaches to simulate logic features in functional languages do not preserve laziness, i.e., they can only model strict logic programming like in Prolog. Lazy functional logic programming however, has interesting properties supporting a more declarat...
