We demonstrate how the concept of strategies originating from term rewriting can be introduced in a typed, functional setting. We provide a model of strategies based on a further generalisation of updatable, monadic, generalised fold algebras. We show how strategies can be used as a structuring device for functional programming.

background: garcinia kola seed is consumed indiscriminately in nigeria without recourse to its potential toxicity. therefore, this study was aimed at assessing the toxicity of the aqueous extract of g. kola seeds on selected tissues of male rats.  methods: thirty male rats (215.00 ± 18.58 g) were assigned into four groups: a, b, c and d which received 0.5 ml of distilled water, 25, 50 and 100 m...

There have been many attempts to integrate object-oriented and functional programming. Solving the connicting requirements is diicult and only recently has a language, CLOVER, been designed that is purely functional and purely object-oriented and retains complete type safety. In this paper, we present the implementation of CLOVER: the object-oriented features are translated away in stages and t...
