Return the identity element for this monoid.
Given a sequence of as
, sum them using the monoid and return the total.
Given a sequence of as
, sum them using the semigroup and return the total.
Given a sequence of as
, sum them using the semigroup and return the total.
If the sequence is empty, returns None. Otherwise, returns Some(total).
Return a
combined with itself n
times.
A monoid is a semigroup with an identity. A monoid is a specialization of a semigroup, so its operation must be associative. Additionally,
op(x, id) == op(id, x) == x
. For example, if we haveMonoid[String]
, withop
as string concatenation, thenid = ""
.
