# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE: # The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. # Line up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and # the '|' on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. # You must make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also # customary to leave one space after the ':' except on otherwise blank lines. |-----handy-ruler------------------------------------------------------| haskell-semigroups: haskell-semigroups (Anything that associates) haskell-semigroups: haskell-semigroups: In mathematics, a semigroup is an algebraic structure consisting of haskell-semigroups: a set together with an associative binary operation. A semigroup haskell-semigroups: generalizes a monoid in that there might not exist an identity haskell-semigroups: element. It also (originally) generalized a group (a monoid with all haskell-semigroups: inverses) to a type where every element did not have to have an haskell-semigroups: inverse, thus the name semigroup. haskell-semigroups: haskell-semigroups: haskell-semigroups:
