## Lazy?
The list structure could be defined as
```hs
data Seq a = Nil | Cons a (Seq a)
```
The `Cons` constuctor takes two arguments, so there are four different laziness variants:
```hs
Cons (Strict a) (Strict (Seq a)) -- 1. fully strict
Cons (Lazy a) (Strict (Seq a)) -- 2. lazy values
Cons (Strict a) (Lazy (Seq a)) -- 3. lazy structure
Cons (Lazy a) (Lazy (Seq a)) -- 4. fully lazy
```
This module implements the third variant: lazy structure, but strict values.
## Example
```js
var ones = lazyseq.cons(1, function () { return ones; });
console.log(ones === ones.tail()); // true!
```
## Why?
This package is originally made to optimise shrink operations in [jsverify](http://jsverify.github.io/), a property-based testing library.
## API
- *nil : Seq a* — Empty sequence.
- *cons : (head : a, tail : Array a | Seq a | () → Array a | () → Seq a) → Seq a* : Cons a value to the front of a sequence (list or thunk).
- *.isNil : Boolean* — Constant time check, whether the sequence is empty.
- *.toString : () → String* — String representation. Doesn't force the tail.
- *.length : () → Nat* — Return the length of the sequene. Forces the structure.
- *.toArray : () → Array a* — Convert the sequence to JavaScript array.
- *.fold : (z : b, f : (a, () → b) → b) → b* — Fold from right.
```hs
fold nil x f = x
fold (cons h t) x f = f x (fold t x f)
```
- *.head : () → a* — Extract the first element of a sequence, which must be non-empty.
- *.tail : () → Seq a* — Return the tail of the sequence.
```hs
tail nil = nil
tail (cons h t) = t
```
- *.nth : (n : Nat) → a* — Return nth value of the sequence.
- *.take : (n : Nat) → Seq a* — Take `n` first elements of the sequence.
- *.drop : (n : Nat) → Seq a* — Drop `n` first elements of the sequence.
- *.map : (f : a → b) : Seq b* — The sequence obtained by applying `f` to each element of the original sequence.
- *.append : (ys : Seq a | Array a) : Seq a* — Append `ys` sequence.
- *.filter : (p : a -> bool) : Seq a* — filter using `p` predicate.
- *.every : (p = identity: a -> b) : b | true* — return first falsy value in the sequence, true otherwise. *N.B.* behaves slightly differently from `Array::every`.
- *.some : (p = identity: a -> b) : b | false* — return first truthy value in the sequence, false otherwise. *N.B.* behaves slightly differently from `Array::some`.
- *.contains : (x : a) : bool* — Returns `true` if `x` is in the sequence.
- *.containsNot : (x : a) : bool* — Returns `true` if `x` is not in the sequence.
- *fromArray: (arr : Array a) → Seq a* — Convert a JavaScript array into lazy sequence.
- *singleton: (x : a) → Seq a* — Create a singleton sequence.
- *append : (xs... : Array a | Seq a | () → Array a | () → Seq a) → Seq a* : Append one sequence-like to another.
- *iterate : (x : a, f : a → a) → Seq a* — Create an infinite sequence of repeated applications of `f` to `x`: *x, f(x), f(f(x))…*.
- *fold : (seq : Seq a | Array a, z : b, f : (a, () → b) → b) : b* — polymorphic version of fold. Works with arrays too.
