Scalaz(8)- typeclass:Monoid and Foldable

范稳
2023-12-01

  Monoid是种最简单的typeclass类型。我们先看看scalaz的Monoid typeclass定义:scalaz/Monoid.scala

trait Monoid[F] extends Semigroup[F] { self =>
  
  /** The identity element for `append`. */
  def zero: F
...

Monoid trait又继承了Semigroup:scalaz/Semigroup.scala

trait Semigroup[F]  { self =>
  
  /**
   * The binary operation to combine `f1` and `f2`.
   *
   * Implementations should not evaluate the by-name parameter `f2` if result
   * can be determined by `f1`.
   */
  def append(f1: F, f2: => F): F
...

所以获取一个类型的Monoid实例需要实现zero和append这两个抽象函数。实际上Monoid typeclass也就是支持了append(|+|)这么一个简单的操作。scalaz为一些标准类型定义了Monoid实例:

0 |+| 30                                         //> res0: Int = 50
20.some |+| 30.some                               //> res1: Option[Int] = Some(50)
List(1,2,3) |+| List(4,5,6)                       //> res2: List[Int] = List(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6)
Tags.Multiplication(3) |+| Monoid[Int @@ Tags.Multiplication].zero
                                                  //> res3: scalaz.@@[Int,scalaz.Tags.Multiplication] = 3
Tags.Conjunction(true) |+| Tags.Conjunction(false)//> res4: scalaz.@@[Boolean,scalaz.Tags.Conjunction] = false
Tags.Disjunction(true) |+| Tags.Disjunction(false)//> res5: scalaz.@@[Boolean,scalaz.Tags.Disjunction] = true
Monoid[Boolean @@ Tags.Conjunction].zero          //> res6: scalaz.@@[Boolean,scalaz.Tags.Conjunction] = true
Monoid[Boolean @@ Tags.Disjunction].zero          //> res7: scalaz.@@[Boolean,scalaz.Tags.Disjunction] = false

就这么来看好像没什么值得提的。不过Ordering的Monoid倒是值得研究一下。我们先看看Ordering trait:scalaz/Ordering.scala

 implicit val orderingInstance: Enum[Ordering] with Show[Ordering] with Monoid[Ordering] = new Enum[Ordering] with Show[Ordering] with Monoid[Ordering] {
    def order(a1: Ordering, a2: Ordering): Ordering = (a1, a2) match {
      case (LT, LT)      => EQ
      case (LT, EQ | GT) => LT
      case (EQ, LT)      => GT
      case (EQ, EQ)      => EQ
      case (EQ, GT)      => LT
      case (GT, LT | EQ) => GT
      case (GT, GT)      => EQ
    }

    override def shows(f: Ordering) = f.name

    def append(f1: Ordering, f2: => Ordering): Ordering = f1 match {
      case Ordering.EQ => f2
      case o           => o
    }
...

这里定义了Ordering的Monoid实例。它的append函数意思是:两个Ordering类型值f1,f2的append操作结果:假如f1是EQ就是f2,否则是f1:

(Ordering.EQ: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.GT: Ordering)
                                                  //> res8: scalaz.Ordering = GT
(Ordering.EQ: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.LT: Ordering)
                                                  //> res9: scalaz.Ordering = LT
(Ordering.GT: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.EQ: Ordering)
                                                  //> res10: scalaz.Ordering = GT
(Ordering.LT: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.EQ: Ordering)
                                                  //> res11: scalaz.Ordering = LT
(Ordering.LT: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.GT: Ordering)
                                                  //> res12: scalaz.Ordering = LT
(Ordering.GT: Ordering) |+| (Ordering.LT: Ordering)
                                                  //> res13: scalaz.Ordering = GT

如果我用以上的特性来比较两个String的长度:如果长度相等则再比较两个String的字符顺序。这个要求刚好符合了Ordering Monoid实例的append操作:

3 ?|? 4                                           //> res14: scalaz.Ordering = LT
"abc" ?|? "bac"                                   //> res15: scalaz.Ordering = LT
def strlenCompare(lhs: String, rhs: String): Ordering =
 (lhs.length ?|? rhs.length) |+| (lhs ?|? rhs)    //> strlenCompare: (lhs: String, rhs: String)scalaz.Ordering

strlenCompare("abc","aabc")                       //> res16: scalaz.Ordering = LT
strlenCompare("abd","abc")                        //> res17: scalaz.Ordering = GT

这个示范倒是挺新鲜的。

好了,单看Monoid操作会觉着没什么特别,好像不值得研究。实际上Monoid的主要用途是在配合可折叠数据结构(Foldable)对结构内部元素进行操作时使用的。我们再看看这个Foldable typeclass:scalaz/Foldable.scala

trait Foldable[F[_]]  { self =>
  
  import collection.generic.CanBuildFrom
  import collection.immutable.IndexedSeq

  /** Map each element of the structure to a [[scalaz.Monoid]], and combine the results. */
  def foldMap[A,B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B)(implicit F: Monoid[B]): B
  /** As `foldMap` but returning `None` if the foldable is empty and `Some` otherwise */
  def foldMap1Opt[A,B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B)(implicit F: Semigroup[B]): Option[B] = {
    import std.option._
    foldMap(fa)(x => some(f(x)))
  }

  /**Right-associative fold of a structure. */
  def foldRight[A, B](fa: F[A], z: => B)(f: (A, => B) => B): B
...

Foldable typeclass提供了许多注入方法支持折叠操作: scalaz/syntax/FoldableSyntax.scala

final class FoldableOps[F[_],A] private[syntax](val self: F[A])(implicit val F: Foldable[F]) extends Ops[F[A]] {

  final def msuml[G[_], B](implicit ev: A === G[B], G: PlusEmpty[G]): G[B] = F.foldLeft(ev.subst[F](self), G.empty[B])(G.plus[B](_, _))
  
}

这简直就是一个完整的函数库嘛。scalaz为大多数标准库中的集合类型提供了Foldable实例,也就是说大多数scala集合类型都支持这么一堆折叠操作函数。我还看不到任何需要去自定义集合类型,标准库的集合类型加上Foldable typeclass应该足够用了。

在Foldable typeclass中比较重要的函数就是foldMap了:

trait Foldable[F[_]]  { self =>
  
  import collection.generic.CanBuildFrom
  import collection.immutable.IndexedSeq

  /** Map each element of the structure to a [[scalaz.Monoid]], and combine the results. */
  def foldMap[A,B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B)(implicit F: Monoid[B]): B

首先,foldMap需要Monoid[B]实例来实现。用List来举例:List trait 继承了Traverse:scalaz/std/List.scala

trait ListInstances extends ListInstances0 {
  implicit val listInstance = new Traverse[List] with MonadPlus[List] with Zip[List] with Unzip[List] with Align[List] with IsEmpty[List] with Cobind[List] {
...

在Traverse typeclass里定义了Foldable实例:scalaz/Traverse.scala

 def foldLShape[A,B](fa: F[A], z: B)(f: (B,A) => B): (B, F[Unit]) =
    runTraverseS(fa, z)(a => State.modify(f(_, a)))

  override def foldLeft[A,B](fa: F[A], z: B)(f: (B,A) => B): B = foldLShape(fa, z)(f)._1

  def foldMap[A,B](fa: F[A])(f: A => B)(implicit F: Monoid[B]): B = foldLShape(fa, F.zero)((b, a) => F.append(b, f(a)))._1

  override def foldRight[A, B](fa: F[A], z: => B)(f: (A, => B) => B) =
    foldMap(fa)((a: A) => (Endo.endo(f(a, _: B)))) apply z
...

这个foldMap就是一个游览可折叠结构的函数。在游览过程中用Monoid append对结构中元素进行操作。值得注意的是这个f: A => B参数:这个函数是用来在append操作之前先对内部元素进行一次转变(transform):

List(1,2,3) foldMap {x => x}                      //> res18: Int = 6
List(1,2,3) foldMap {x => (x + 3).toString}       //> res19: String = 456 变成String操作

我们试着用一些实际的例子来示范Monoid的用法。上面提到Monoid在可折叠数据结构里的元素连续处理有着很好的应用,我们先试一个例子:确定一个可折叠数据结构F[A]中的元素A是否排序的:

def ordered(xs: List[Int]): Boolean  //判断xs是否按序排列

由于我们必须游览List xs,所以用Monoid对元素Int进行判断操作是可行的方法。我们先设计一个对比数据结构:

Option[(min: Int, max: Int. ordered: Boolean)], 它记录了当前元素的状态,包括最小,最大,是否排序的:

/判断xs是否是排序的
def ordered(xs: List[Int]): Boolean = {
	val monoid = new Monoid[Option[(Int,Int,Boolean)]] {  //对类型Option[(Int,Int,Boolean)]定义一个Monoid实例
		def zero = None
		def append(a1: Option[(Int,Int,Boolean)], a2: => Option[(Int,Int,Boolean)]) =  //对连续两个元素进行对比操作
		  (a1,a2) match {
		    case (x,None) => x
		    case (None,x) => x    //保留不为None的状态
		    case (Some((min1,max1,ord1)),Some((min2,max2,ord2))) =>  //如果max1 <= min2状态即为true
		         Some((min1 min min2, max1 max max2, ord1 && ord2 && (max1 <= min2)))  //更新min,max和ord
		  }
	}  //我们需要把元素转换成Option((Int,Int,Boolean))
	(xs.foldMap(i => Option((i, i, true)))(monoid)).map(_._3) getOrElse(true)
}                                                 //> ordered: (xs: List[Int])Boolean

ordered(List(1,2,12,34))                          //> res21: Boolean = true
ordered(List(1,2,34,23))                          //> res22: Boolean = false

注意这个i => Option((i,i,true)) 转换(transform)。

由于Monoid是种极简单的类型,所以很容易对Monoid进行组合。Monoid组合产生的结果还是Monoid,并且用起来可以更方便:

def productMonoid[A,B](ma: Monoid[A], mb: Monoid[B]): Monoid[(A,B)] = new Monoid[(A,B)] {
	def zero = (ma.zero, mb.zero)
	def append(x: (A,B), y: => (A,B)): (A,B) = (ma.append(x._1, y._1), mb.append(x._2, y._2))
}                                                 //> productMonoid: [A, B](ma: scalaz.Monoid[A], mb: scalaz.Monoid[B])scalaz.Mon
                                                  //| oid[(A, B)]
val pm = productMonoid(Monoid[Int],Monoid[List[Int]])
                                                  //> pm  : scalaz.Monoid[(Int, List[Int])] = Exercises.monoid$$anonfun$main$1$$a
                                                  //| non$3@72d1ad2e

以上的pm就是两个Monoid的组合,结果是一个tuple2Monoid。我们可以使用这个tuple2Monoid对可折叠数据结构中元素进行并行操作。比如我们可以在游览一个List[Int]时同时统计长度(list length)及乘积(product):

val intMultMonoid = new Monoid[Int] {
	def zero = 1
	def append(a1: Int, a2: => Int): Int = a1 * a2
}                                                 //> intMultMonoid  : scalaz.Monoid[Int] = Exercises.monoid$$anonfun$main$1$$ano
                                                  //| n$1@6c64cb25
def productMonoid[A,B](ma: Monoid[A], mb: Monoid[B]): Monoid[(A,B)] = new Monoid[(A,B)] {
	def zero = (ma.zero, mb.zero)
	def append(x: (A,B), y: => (A,B)): (A,B) = (ma.append(x._1, y._1), mb.append(x._2, y._2))
}                                                 //> productMonoid: [A, B](ma: scalaz.Monoid[A], mb: scalaz.Monoid[B])scalaz.Mon
                                                  //| oid[(A, B)]
val pm = productMonoid(Monoid[Int @@ Tags.Multiplication],Monoid[Int])
                                                  //> pm  : scalaz.Monoid[(scalaz.@@[Int,scalaz.Tags.Multiplication], Int)] = Exe
                                                  //| rcises.monoid$$anonfun$main$1$$anon$3@72d1ad2e
List(1,2,3,4,6).foldMap(i => (i, 1))(productMonoid(intMultMonoid,Monoid[Int]))
                                                  //> res23: (Int, Int) = (144,5)


我们再来一个合并多层map的Monoid:

def mapMergeMonoid[K,V](V: Monoid[V]): Monoid[Map[K, V]] =
  new Monoid[Map[K, V]] {
    def zero = Map[K,V]()
    def append(a: Map[K, V], b: => Map[K, V]) =
      (a.keySet ++ b.keySet).foldLeft(zero) { (acc,k) =>
        acc.updated(k, V.append(a.getOrElse(k, V.zero),
                            b.getOrElse(k, V.zero)))
      }
  }                                               //> mapMergeMonoid: [K, V](V: scalaz.Monoid[V])scalaz.Monoid[Map[K,V]]
    
 val M: Monoid[Map[String, Map[String, Int]]] = mapMergeMonoid(mapMergeMonoid(Monoid[Int]))
                                                  //> M  : scalaz.Monoid[Map[String,Map[String,Int]]] = Exercises.monoid$$anonfun
                                                  //| $main$1$$anon$4@79e2c065
 val m1 = Map("o1" -> Map("i1" -> 1, "i2" -> 2))  //> m1  : scala.collection.immutable.Map[String,scala.collection.immutable.Map[
                                                  //| String,Int]] = Map(o1 -> Map(i1 -> 1, i2 -> 2))
 val m2 = Map("o1" -> Map("i2" -> 3))             //> m2  : scala.collection.immutable.Map[String,scala.collection.immutable.Map[
                                                  //| String,Int]] = Map(o1 -> Map(i2 -> 3))
 val m3 = M.append(m1, m2)                        //> m3  : Map[String,Map[String,Int]] = Map(o1 -> Map(i1 -> 1, i2 -> 5))

我们可以用这个组合成的M的append操作进行map的深度合并。m1,m2合并后:Map(o1->Map("i1"->1,"i2" -> 5))。

我们还可以用这个Monoid来统计一段字串内字符发生的频率:

def frequencyMap[A](as: List[A]): Map[A, Int] =
    as.foldMap((a: A) => Map(a -> 1))(mapMergeMonoid[A, Int](Monoid[Int]))
                                                  //> frequencyMap: [A](as: List[A])Map[A,Int]
frequencyMap("the brown quik fox is running quikly".toList)
  //> res24: Map[Char,Int] = Map(e -> 1, s -> 1, x -> 1, n -> 4, y -> 1, t -> 1, 
  //| u -> 3, f -> 1, i -> 4,   -> 6, q -> 2, b -> 1, g -> 1, l -> 1, h -> 1, r -
  //| > 2, w -> 1, k -> 2, o -> 2)

我们现在可以体会到Monoid必须在可折叠数据结构(Foldable)内才能正真发挥作用。
