Category theory(範疇論)之什麼是Functor, Applicative, Monad, Semigroup, Monoid?

之前曾經寫過一篇什麼是Monad? ，裡面提到了對於Monad的解釋，而今天進一步解釋這些在Functional Programming中常見到的詞：Functor, Applicative, Monad, Semigroup, Monoid。透過放在一起比較，讓我們更清楚這些之間的差別與關係。

##Functor

在提到Functor之前，請先了解一下scala中map的作用，map可以讓你傳入一個function，而透過這個function是可以從F[A]轉換成F[B]，這裡的F不管他(就是代表外面的包裝不會變)，而裡面的A型態轉成B型態。

例如：

	# ~/.bashrc: executed by bash(1) for non-login shells.
	# see /usr/share/doc/bash/examples/startup-files (in the package bash-doc)
	# for examples

	# If not running interactively, don't do anything
	[ -z "$PS1" ] && return

	# don't put duplicate lines in the history. See bash(1) for more options
	# ... or force ignoredups and ignorespace
	HISTCONTROL=ignoredups:ignorespace

	import javax.crypto.Cipher;
	import javax.crypto.spec.IvParameterSpec;
	import javax.crypto.spec.SecretKeySpec;

	import org.apache.commons.codec.binary.Base64;

	public class Encryptor {
	public static String encrypt(String key, String initVector, String value) {
	try {
	IvParameterSpec iv = new IvParameterSpec(initVector.getBytes("UTF-8"));

	Overview
	--------

	To run a query using anorm you need to do three things:

	1. Connect to the database (with or without a transaction)
	2. Create an instance of `anorm.SqlQuery` using the `SQL` string interpolator
	3. Call one of the methods on `SqlQuery` to actually run the query
