第一章中讲到了,编程是为了解决问题,问题的解决方式是将分治,通过将小问题的解组合形成大问题的解。而组合是category theory的本质, 在编程中,我们常常接触到的概念是类型以及函数,我们将某些信息抽象成为某种特定的类型,通过函数在不同的type之间进行操作转换,这跟category中的object以及arrow十分相似。那么type是什么?function又是什么?为什么我们需要type以及function?
- type could be view as a set of value; there is a set category who's object is set;
- Set is a very special category. We can peek inside its object and get a lot of intuition to doing that. For example, empty set has no element; one-element set; function map elements from ont set to another set;
- Hash category and Set category: difference: Set + bottom = Hash
- The property of function Pure and Dirty.
- functions that can be implemented by the same formula for any type are called parametrically polymorphic.
在编程的category, 类型以及函数构成了它的obj以及arrow. 在编程中的类型可以看做是某些value的set, 所有的set构成了Set Category,但这个category还不是编程中研究的category, 由于某一个计算过程可能不会停机, 需要考虑多一种类型--bottom 类型, 用于表示不会停机的类型
