Haskell Monads and Functors
Haskell Monads and Functors are foundational abstractions that enable powerful and flexible handling of computations Functors allow you to apply a function over wrapped values using fmap, enabling transformation inside context like lists or Maybe

. Monads extend this by supporting chained computations with context, using bind (>>=) to sequence operations while managing side effects such as I/O, state, or errors. Together, they provide a way to write clean, modular, and expressive code by abstracting patterns of computation and effect handling. Understanding these concepts is key to mastering functional programming in Haskell.Get Started!
