Discrete

Discrete represents discrete operations that can be performed on a type A

These operations are presented by the following functions.

• def succ(x): Returns the successor value of x
• def pred(x): Returns the predecessor value of x
• def adj(i, j): Returns if i and j are consecutive ( succ(i) is j)

An example of the discrete operation on integer values could be:

import cats._, cats.collections._

implicit val intDiscrete: Discrete[Int] = new Discrete[Int] {
  override def succ(x: Int): Int = x + 1
  override def pred(x: Int): Int = x - 1
}
