Description

Mutable references in the lazy ST monad.

Synopsis

- data STRef s a
- newSTRef :: a -> ST s (STRef s a)

- writeSTRef :: STRef s a -> a -> ST s ()
- modifySTRef :: STRef s a -> (a -> a) -> ST s ()

# STRefs

data STRef s a Source #

a value of type `STRef s a` is a mutable variable in state thread `s`, containing a value of type `a`

    >>> :{
    runST (do
        ref <- newSTRef "hello"
        x <- readSTRef ref
        writeSTRef ref (x ++ "world")
        readSTRef ref )
    :}
    "helloworld"
