# Prelude.Either

rights : List (Either a b) -> List b

  Keep the payloads of all Right constructors in a list of Eithers

rightInjective : (Right x = Right y) -> x = y

  Right is injective

partitionEithers : List (Either a b) -> (List a, List b)

  Split a list of Eithers into a list of the left elements and a list of the right elements

mirror : Either a b -> Either b a

  Right becomes left and left becomes right

maybeToEither : (def : Lazy e) -> Maybe a -> Either e a

  Convert a Maybe to an Either by using a default value in case of Nothing

  e

    the default value

lefts : List (Either a b) -> List a

  Keep the payloads of all Left constructors in a list of Eithers

leftInjective : (Left x = Left y) -> x = y

  Left is injective

isRight : Either a b -> Bool

  True if the argument is Right, False otherwise

isLeft : Either a b -> Bool

  True if the argument is Left, False otherwise

fromEither : Either a a -> a

  Remove a "useless" Either by collapsing the case distinction

either : (f : Lazy (a -> c)) -> (g : Lazy (b -> c)) -> (e : Either a b) -> c

  Simply-typed eliminator for Either

  f

    the action to take on Left

  g

    the action to take on Right

  e

    the sum to analyze

data Either : (a : Type) -> (b : Type) -> Type

  A sum type

  Left : (l : a) -> Either a b

    One possibility of the sum, conventionally used to represent errors

  Right : (r : b) -> Either a b

    The other possibility, conventionally used to represent success
