haskell - 如何将多态函数应用于 Either 的两侧？

Question

我试过这个：

type TestT = Either Int Float

testM :: (a -> a) -> TestT -> TestT
testM f (Left x) = Left (f x)
testM f (Right x) = Right (f x)

但它不起作用，有没有办法做到这一点？我环顾四周，所有类似的东西都非常复杂和有限。

错误消息，根据要求：

Main.hs:101:28: error:
    • Couldn't match expected type ‘a’ with actual type ‘Int’
      ‘a’ is a rigid type variable bound by
        the type signature for:
          testM :: forall a. (a -> a) -> TestT -> TestT
        at Main.hs:100:1-35
    • In the first argument of ‘f’, namely ‘x’
      In the first argument of ‘Left’, namely ‘(f x)’
      In the expression: Left (f x)
    • Relevant bindings include
        f :: a -> a (bound at Main.hs:101:7)
        testM :: (a -> a) -> TestT -> TestT (bound at Main.hs:101:1)

一种方法是使用 Bifunctor：

Prelude> :m +Data.Bifunctor
Prelude Data.Bifunctor> bimap show show (Left 3)
Left "3"
Prelude Data.Bifunctor> bimap show show (Right 'x')
Right "'x'"
Prelude Data.Bifunctor>
