18 //! Prepend an element to a monadic structure.
19 //! @ingroup group-MonadPlus
20 //!
21 //! Given a monadic structure `xs` and an element `x`, `prepend` returns
22 //! a new monadic structure which is the result of lifting `x` into the
23 //! monadic structure and then combining that (to the left) with `xs`.
24 //! In other words,
25 //! @code
26 //! prepend(xs, x) == concat(lift<Xs>(x), xs)
27 //! @endcode
28 //!
29 //! For sequences, this has the intuitive behavior of simply prepending
30 //! an element to the beginning of the sequence, hence the name.
31 //!
32 //! > #### Rationale for not calling this `push_front`
33 //! > While `push_front` is the de-facto name used in the standard library,
34 //! > it also strongly suggests mutation of the underlying sequence, which
35 //! > is not the case here. The author also finds that `push_front`
36 //! > suggests too strongly the sole interpretation of putting an
37 //! > element to the front of a sequence, whereas `prepend` is slightly
38 //! > more nuanced and bears its name better for e.g. `hana::optional`.
39 //!

41 //! Signature
42 //! ---------
43 //! Given a MonadPlus `M`, the signature is
44 //! @f$ \mathtt{prepend} : M(T) \times T \to M(T) @f$.
45 //!
46 //! @param xs
47 //! A monadic structure that will be combined to the right of the element.
48 //!
49 //! @param x
50 //! An element to combine to the left of the monadic structure.
51 //!
52 //!
53 //! Example
54 //! -------
55 //! @include example/prepend.cpp
