-## Monoid (TODO)
+An object with a function that "combines" that object with another of the same type
+and an "empty" value, which can be added with no effect.
 
-An object with a function that "combines" that object with another of the same type.
+One simple monoid is the addition of numbers 
+(with `__add__` as an addition function and `0` as an empty element):
+
+```python
+>>> assert 1 + 1 + 0 == 2
+>>>
+```
 
-One simple monoid is the addition of numbers:
+Tuples, lists, and strings are also monoids:
 
 ```python
-1 + 1 # 2
+>>> assert (1,) + (2,) + () == (1, 2)
+>>> assert [1] + [2] + [] == [1, 2]
+>>> assert 'a' + 'b' + '' == 'ab'
+>>>
 ```
-In this case number is the object and `+` is the function.
