concise |kənˈsīs|, adj.
giving a lot of information clearly and in a few words; brief but
comprehensive.
Compare:
Scenario: Defining the function foldl
Given I want do define foldl
Which has the type (in brackets) a to b to a (end of brackets),
to a, to list of b, to a
And my arguments are called f, acc, and l
When l is empty
Then the result better be acc
Otherwise l is x cons xs
Then the result should be foldl f (in brackets) f acc x
(end of brackets) xs
To:
foldl :: (a -> b -> a) -> a -> [b] -> a
foldl f z [] = z
foldl f z (x:xs) = foldl f (f z x) xs
How is that more concise or preferable?
