# Documentation

data DList a Source #

A difference list is a function that, given a list, returns the original contents of the difference list prepended to the given list.

This structure supports O(1) append and snoc operations on lists, making it very useful for append-heavy uses (esp. left-nested uses of `++`), such as logging and pretty printing.

Here is an example using DList as the state type when printing a tree with the Writer monad:

    import Control.Monad.Writer
    import Data.DList

    data Tree a = Leaf a | Branch (Tree a) (Tree a)

    flatten_writer :: Tree x -> DList x
    flatten_writer = snd . runWriter . flatten
        where
          flatten (Leaf x)     = tell (singleton x)
          flatten (Branch x y) = flatten x >> flatten y
