Haskell Following the three ways to define "&&" on slides 6--7 of chapter 4, show the analogous three ways how the disjunction operator "||" can be defined using pattern matching.
Functions can often be defined in many different
ways using pattern matching. For example
(&&) :: Bool → Bool
True && True = True
True && False
False && True
False && False
Note:
False
False
= False
can be defined more compactly by
True && True = True
&&
False
=
Bool
However, the following definition is more efficient,
because it avoids evaluating the second argument
if the first argument is False:
True && b = b
False && = False
The underscore symbol is a wildcard pattern
that matches any argument value.
