The concept of Bottom in Haskell

People also ask

What is the bottom of a function?

The bottom() function ranks the time series described by the expression, and then uses that ranking to represent each time series as either the constant 1 or the constant 0: 1 is returned for each time series that is in the specified number of series at the bottom of the ranking.

What is the bottom value?

A bottom is the lowest price traded or published by a financial security, commodity, or index within a particular referenced time frame. The time frame can be a year, month, or even an intraday period, but when referenced in financial media or studies, this term refers to a significant low point of interest.

What is bottom language?

Language learning that starts with basic language units like words, and then moves on to more complex structures is bottom-up. This includes methods that concentrate on grammatical and sentence structures rather than looking at meaning of texts as a whole.


Indeed there is an order of definedness, where bottom is the least defined value. Have a look at this page about denotational semantics in Haskell for a more thorough explanation.

Here is a lattice for the values of Maybe Bool taken from the wiki page. It shows that Just True is more defined than Just ⊥ which is more defined than .
