Examples

import Applicative._
import Foldable._
import Monad._
import Traversable._

Monad

println {
  for {
    x <- List(6, List(3, Nil))
    y <- List(7, List(3, Nil))
    z  = x * y
  } yield z
} // Cons(42,Cons(18,Cons(21,Cons(9,Nil))))

Foldable

println {
  foldr((x: Int, y: Int) => x * y)(7)(List(2, List(3, Nil)))
} // 42

Traversable

println {
  sequence(List(List(6, Nil), List(List(7, Nil), Nil)))
} // Cons(Cons(6,Cons(7,Nil)),Nil)

Monad transformer

case class Box[A](a: A)
implicit def boxMonad[M[_]: Monad]: Monad[Box] =
  new Monad[Box] {
    def pure[A](a: A): Box[A] =
      Box(a)
    def flatMap[A, B](ma: Box[A])(f: A => Box[B]): Box[B] =
      f(ma.a)
  }

println {
  for {
    x <- ListT(Box(List(6, Nil)))
    y <- ListT(Box(List(7, Nil)))
  } yield x * y
} // Box(Cons(42,Nil))
