rlm@2 149 <p>Every computer language with data types (such as Integers,
rlm@2 150 Floats, or
rlm@2 151 Strings) corresponds with a certain category; the objects of the category are the data types
rlm@2 152 of the language, and there is one arrow between data types \(A\) and \(B\)
rlm@2 153 for every function in the language whose argument has type \(A\) and whose return value
rlm@2 154 has type \(B\).

rlm@2 175 We will now discuss two processes which combine existing
rlm@2 176 data types to yield composite data types. These higher-order processes will be
rlm@2 177 <i>functorial</i>, which means that they will recombine not only the objects of
rlm@2 178 our category (the data types), but the arrows as well (functions with
rlm@2 179 typed input and output).
rlm@2 180 </p>
rlm@2 181 <p>
rlm@2 182 The <code>product</code> functor combines two data types, \(A\) and \(B\), producing
rlm@2 183 a new type, denoted \(A\times B\). Conceptually, values with the data type \(A\times
rlm@2 184 B\) have two components, the first of which is a value of type \(A\), the
rlm@2 185 second of which is a value of type \(B\). Concretely, the data type \(A\times B\)
rlm@2 186 can be implemented as pairs of values, the first of which is
rlm@2 187 of type \(A\) and the second of which is of type \(B\). With this
rlm@2 188 implementation in mind, you can see that the type \(A\) and type \(B\)
rlm@2 189 constituents of type \(A\times B\) value can be recovered; the so-called
rlm@2 190 projection functors <code>first</code> and <code>second</code> recover them. A third
rlm@2 191 functor, the <code>diagonal</code> functor, completes our toolkit; given
rlm@2 192 value \(a\) of type \(A\), it produces the value \((a,a)\) of type \(A\times A\).

rlm@2 206 <p>
rlm@2 207 The <code>coproduct</code> functor combines two data types, \(A\) and \(B\),
rlm@2 208 producing a new type, denoted \(A+B\). Conceptually, you construct the
rlm@2 209 \(A+B\) datatype by creating labelled versions of the data types \(A\) and
rlm@2 210 \(B\) &mdash; we'll call them black-\(A\) and white-\(B\) &mdash; and
rlm@2 211 then creating a data type \(A+B\) which contains all the black-\(A\)
rlm@2 212 values and all the white-\(B\) values. Concretely, you can implement the
rlm@2 213 \(A+B\) data type using label-value pairs: the first value in the pair
rlm@2 214 is either the label `black' or the label `white'; the second
rlm@2 215 value must have type \(A\) if the label is black, or type \(B\) if the
rlm@2 216 label is white.
rlm@2 217 </p>
rlm@2 218 <p>
rlm@2 219 Now, the <code>product</code> functor came with projection functors <code>first</code>
rlm@2 220 and <code>second</code> that take \(A\times B\) values and return (respectively) \(A\) values and
rlm@2 221 \(B\) values. The <code>coproduct</code> functor, conversely, comes with two
rlm@2 222 injection functors <code>make-black</code> and <code>make-white</code> that perform the
rlm@2 223 opposite function: they take (respectively) \(A\) values and \(B\) values,
rlm@2 224 promoting them to the \(A+B\) datatype by making the \(A\)'s into
rlm@2 225 black-\(A\)'s and the \(B\)'s into white-\(B\)'s.
