Unit

Type that has only one element

• Implementations scala.Unit purescript-prelude/Data.Unit, UniMath, nLab

Void

Type that has no elements. In Category Theory - Initial Object

• Implementations scala.Nothing purescript-prelude/Data.Void Idris prelude/Prelude/Uninhabited, UniMath, nLab

Sum (Coproduct)

Type represents either one or another element. In set theory: disjoint union in Category theory: coproduct (sum).

• Implementations scala.util.Either purescript-either/Data.Either, UniMath, nLab

Product

Type represents combination of two types. In Set theory cartesian product, in Category Theory product.

• Implementations scala.Product2 scala.Tuple2 purescript-tuples/Data.Tuple, UniMath, nLab

These

Type that represents both sum and product (Non exclusive two values):

Tuple(a,b) => a * b Eiter(a,b) => a + b These(a,b) => (a + b) + a*b

sealed trait These[A,B]
case class This[A, B](a: A) extends These[A,B]
case class That[A,B](b: B) extends These[A,B]
case class Those[A,B](a: A, b: B) extends These[A,B]

• There is many abstractions that can be implemented for this data type
