Function1Group

Given a sequence of as, sum them using the monoid and return the total.

Example:

scala> import cats.kernel.instances.string._

scala> Monoid[String].combineAll(List("One ", "Two ", "Three"))
res0: String = One Two Three

scala> Monoid[String].combineAll(List.empty)
res1: String = ""

Return a appended to itself n times. If n is negative, then this returns inverse(a) appended to itself n times.

Between each pair of elements insert middle This name matches the term used in Foldable and Reducible and a similar Haskell function.

Tests if a is the identity.

Example:

scala> import cats.kernel.instances.string._

scala> Monoid[String].isEmpty("")
res0: Boolean = true

scala> Monoid[String].isEmpty("something")
res1: Boolean = false

Remove the element b from a.

Equivalent to combine(a, inverse(b))

Example:

scala> import cats.kernel.instances.int._

scala> Group[Int].remove(5, 2)
res0: Int = 3
