:: [Bool] -> Bool package:ghc-internal

and returns the conjunction of a Boolean list. For the result to be True, the list must be finite; False, however, results from a False value at a finite index of a finite or infinite list.

Examples

>>> and []
True

>>> and [True]
True

>>> and [False]
False

>>> and [True, True, False]
False

>>> and (False : repeat True) -- Infinite list [False,True,True,True,True,True,True...
False

>>> and (repeat True)
* Hangs forever *

Examples

>>> or []

>>> or (True : repeat False) -- Infinite list [True,False,False,False,False,False,False...

Test whether a list is empty.

>>> null []
True

>>> null [1]
False

>>> null [1..]
False
