:: element -> [element] -> [element] -package:foundation package:incipit-base

The intersperse function takes an element and a list and `intersperses' that element between the elements of the list.

Laziness

intersperse has the following properties

>>> take 1 (intersperse undefined ('a' : undefined))
"a"

>>> take 2 (intersperse ',' ('a' : undefined))
"a*** Exception: Prelude.undefined

Examples

>>> intersperse ',' "abcde"
"a,b,c,d,e"

>>> intersperse 1 [3, 4, 5]
[3,1,4,1,5]

Replace all locations in the input with the same value. The default definition is fmap . const, but this may be overridden with a more efficient version.

Examples

Perform a computation with Maybe and replace the result with a constant value if it is Just:

>>> 'a' <$ Just 2
Just 'a'

>>> 'a' <$ Nothing
Nothing
