/**
 * Represents a value that is one of two possible types, with one type being “good” and
 * the other “bad.”
 *
 * 
    
 * An Or will either be a “good” value wrapped in an instance of
 * Good or a “bad” value wrapped in an instance
 * of Bad.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    The motivation for Or
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Or differs from Scala's Either type in that
 * Either treats both its Left and Right alternatives in an identical manner, whereas
 * Or treats its two alternatives differently: it favors
 * Good over Bad.
 * Because of this, it is more convenient to work with Ors
 * when you prefer one alternative over the other; for example, if one alternative represents a valid result
 * and another represents an error.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * To illustrate, imagine you want to create instances this Person class from user input strings:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * case class Person(name: String, age: Int)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * You might write a method that parses the name from user input string and returns an
 * Option[String]: None if the string is empty or blank, else the
 * trimmed string wrapped in a Some:
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
     * def parseName(input: String): Option[String] = {
 *   val trimmed = input.trim
 *   if (!trimmed.isEmpty) Some(trimmed) else None
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * You might also write a method that parses the age from user input string and returns an
 * Option[Int]: None if either the string is not a valid integer or
 * it is a negative integer, else the string converted to an integer wrapped in a Some:
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
     * def parseAge(input: String): Option[Int] = {
 *   try { 
 *     val age = input.trim.toInt
 *     if (age >= 0) Some(age) else None
 *   }
 *   catch {
 *     case _: NumberFormatException => None
 *   }
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * With these building blocks you could write a method that parses name and age input
 * strings and returns either a Person, wrapped in a Some, or
 * None if either the name or age, or both, was invalid:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parsePerson(inputName: String, inputAge: String): Option[Person] =
 *   for {
 *     name <- parseName(inputName)
 *     age <- parseAge(inputAge)
 *   } yield Person(name, age)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Here are some examples of invoking parsePerson:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "29")
 * // Result: Some(Person(Bridget Jones,29))
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "")
 * // Result: None
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "-29")
 * // Result: None
 *
 * parsePerson("", "")
 * // Result: None
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Now imagine you want to give an error message back if the user's input is invalid.
 * You might rewrite the parsing methods to return an Either instead. In this
 * case, the desired result is a valid name or age, which by convention should be placed
 * on the right of the Either. The left will be a String error
 * message. Here's the new parseName function, which returns an Either[String, String]:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parseName(input: String): Either[String, String] = {
 *   val trimmed = input.trim
 *   if (!trimmed.isEmpty) Right(trimmed) else Left(s""""${input}" is not a valid name""")
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * And here's the new parseAge function, which returns an Either[String, Int]:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parseAge(input: String): Either[String, Int] = {
 *   try {
 *     val age = input.trim.toInt
 *     if (age >= 0) Right(age) else Left(s""""${age}" is not a valid age""")
 *   }
 *   catch {
 *     case _: NumberFormatException => Left(s""""${input}" is not a valid integer""")
 *   }
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * The new parsePerson method will return an Either[String, Person]:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parsePerson(inputName: String, inputAge: String): Either[String, Person] =
 *   for {
 *     name <- parseName(inputName).right
 *     age <- parseAge(inputAge).right
 *   } yield Person(name, age)
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
    
 * Note that Either requires you to add .right
 * at the end of each generator in the for expression. Although the convention is to place the
 * valid result on the right, you must explicitly (and repetitively) indicate that you've done so by transforming
 * the Either to a RightProjection by invoking .right at each step. 
 * Given this implementation, the parsePerson method will now short-circuit at the first sign
 * of trouble (as it did when we used an Option), but you now get the first error message returned
 * in a Left. Here are some examples:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "29")
 * // Result: Right(Person(Bridget Jones,29))
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "")
 * // Result: Left("" is not a valid integer)
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "-29")
 * // Result: Left("-29" is not a valid age)
 *
 * parsePerson("", "")
 * // Result: Left("" is not a valid name)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    An Either with “attitude”
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Because Or declares one alternative to be “good” and the other “bad,”
 * it is more convenient than Either in this kind of situation. One difference to note with
 * Or is that the Good alternative is on the left, Bad on the right.
 * The reason is that Or is designed to be written using infix notation, and placing the
 * “happy path” first is more readable. For example, instead of writing:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * Or[Int, ErrorMessage]
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * You can write:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * Int Or ErrorMessage
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Here's how the parseName method might be written using an Or, where
 * ErrorMessage is a type alias for String declared in the org.scalactic
 * package object:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * import org.scalactic._
 *
 * def parseName(input: String): String Or ErrorMessage = {
 *   val trimmed = input.trim
 *   if (!trimmed.isEmpty) Good(trimmed) else Bad(s""""${input}" is not a valid name""")
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * You can think of the String Or ErrorMessage result
 * type like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * The parseName method will return a name String or, if the input string
 * is not a valid name, an ErrorMessage.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Here's how the parseAge method might be written:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parseAge(input: String): Int Or ErrorMessage = {
 *   try {
 *     val age = input.trim.toInt
 *     if (age >= 0) Good(age) else Bad(s""""${age}" is not a valid age""")
 *   }
 *   catch {
 *     case _: NumberFormatException => Bad(s""""${input}" is not a valid integer""")
 *   }
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Given these implementations, here's how you'd write the parsePerson method:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parsePerson(inputName: String, inputAge: String): Person Or ErrorMessage =
 *   for {
 *     name <- parseName(inputName)
 *     age <- parseAge(inputAge)
 *   } yield Person(name, age)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Because of Or's attitude, you need not write .good at the end of
 * each generator. Or will keep going so long as each step produces a Good,
 * short circuiting at the first sign of a Bad. Here are a few invocations of this
 * parsePerson method:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "29")
 * // Result: Good(Person(Bridget Jones,29))
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "")
 * // Result: Bad("" is not a valid integer)
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "-29")
 * // Result: Bad("-29" is not a valid age)
 *
 * parsePerson("", "")
 * // Result: Bad("" is not a valid name)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
 * 
    Accumulating errors with Or
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Another difference between Or and Either is that Or enables
 * you to accumulate errors if the Bad type is an Every.
 * An Every is similar to a Seq in that it contains ordered elements, but
 * different from Seq in that it cannot be empty. An Every is
 * either a One,
 * which contains one and only one element, or a Many, which contains two or
 * more elements.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Note: an Or whose Bad type is an Every, or one of its subtypes,
 * is called an “accumulating Or.”
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * To rewrite the previous example so that errors can be accumulated, you need first to return an Every
 * as the Bad type. Here's how you'd change the parseName method:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parseName(input: String): String Or One[ErrorMessage] = {
 *   val trimmed = input.trim
 *   if (!trimmed.isEmpty) Good(trimmed) else Bad(One(s""""${input}" is not a valid name"""))
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Because parseName will either return a valid name String wrapped in a 
 * Good, or one error message, wrapped in a Bad, you would write the
 * Bad type as One[ErrorMessage]. The same is true for parseAge:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def parseAge(input: String): Int Or One[ErrorMessage] = {
 *   try {
 *     val age = input.trim.toInt
 *     if (age >= 0) Good(age) else Bad(One(s""""${age}" is not a valid age"""))
 *   }
 *   catch {
 *     case _: NumberFormatException => Bad(One(s""""${input}" is not a valid integer"""))
 *   }
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Because a for expression short-circuits on the first Bad encountered, you'll
 * need to use a different approach to write the parsePerson method. In this example, the
 * withGood method from trait Accumulation
 * will do the trick:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * import Accumulation._
 * 
 * def parsePerson(inputName: String, inputAge: String): Person Or Every[ErrorMessage] = {
 *   val name = parseName(inputName)
 *   val age = parseAge(inputAge)
 *   withGood(name, age) { Person(_, _) }
 * }
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Trait Accumulation offers overloaded withGood methods that take 1 to
 * 22 accumulating Ors, plus a function taking the same number of corresponding
 * Good values.  In this example, if both name and age are
 * Goods, the withGood method will pass the good name String
 * and age Int to the Person(_, _) function, and return the resulting Person
 * object wrapped in a Good. If either name and age, or both,
 * are Bad, withGood will return the accumulated errors in a Bad.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * The result of parsePerson, if Bad, will therefore contain either one or two
 * error messages, i.e., the result will either be a One or a Many.
 * As a result, the result type of parsePerson must be Person Or
 * Every[ErrorMessage]. Regardless of whether a Bad result contains one
 * or two error messages, it will contain every error message. Here's some invocations of
 * this accumulating version of parsePerson:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "29")
 * // Result: Good(Person(Bridget Jones,29))
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "")
 * // Result: Bad(One("" is not a valid integer))
 *
 * parsePerson("Bridget Jones", "-29")
 * // Result: Bad(One("-29" is not a valid age))
 *
 * parsePerson("", "")
 * // Result: Bad(Many("" is not a valid name, "" is not a valid integer))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Note that in the last example, the Bad contains an error message for both name and age.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    Other ways to accumulate errors
    

 * 
    
 * The Accumlation trait also enables other ways of accumulating errors.
 * 
    
 *
 * 
 * 
    Using combined
    
 *
 * 
    
 * If you have a collection of
 * accumulating Ors, for example, you can combine them into one Or using combined, like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * List(parseAge("29"), parseAge("30"), parseAge("31")).combined
 * // Result: Good(List(29, 30, 31))
 *
 * List(parseAge("29"), parseAge("-30"), parseAge("31")).combined
 * // Result: Bad(One("-30" is not a valid age))
 *
 * List(parseAge("29"), parseAge("-30"), parseAge("-31")).combined
 * // Result: Bad(Many("-30" is not a valid age, "-31" is not a valid age))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
 * 
    Using validatedBy
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Or if you have a collection of values and a function that transforms that type of value into an accumulating
 * Ors, you can validate the values using the function using validatedBy, like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * List("29", "30", "31").validatedBy(parseAge)
 * // Result: Good(List(29, 30, 31))
 *
 * List("29", "-30", "31").validatedBy(parseAge)
 * // Result: Bad(One("-30" is not a valid age))
 *
 * List("29", "-30", "-31").validatedBy(parseAge)
 * // Result: Bad(Many("-30" is not a valid age, "-31" is not a valid age))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
 * 
    Using zip
    
 *
 * 
    
 * You can also zip two accumulating Ors together. If both are Good, you'll get a 
 * Good tuple containin both original Good values. Otherwise, you'll get a Bad
 * containing every error message. Here are some examples:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * parseName("Dude") zip parseAge("21")
 * // Result: Good((Dude,21))
 *
 * parseName("Dude") zip parseAge("-21")
 * // Result: Bad(One("-21" is not a valid age))
 *
 * parseName("") zip parseAge("-21")
 * // Result: Bad(Many("" is not a valid name, "-21" is not a valid age))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
 * 
    Using when
    
 *
 * 
    
 * In addition, given an accumlating Or, you can pass one or more validation functions to when on the Or
 * to submit that Or to further scrutiny. A validation function accepts a Good type and returns a Validation[E],
 * where E is the type in the Every in the Bad type. For an Int Or One[ErrorMessage], for example
 * the validation function type would be Int => Validation[ErrorMessage]. Here are a few examples:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * def isRound(i: Int): Validation[ErrorMessage] =
 *   if (i % 10 == 0) Pass else Fail(i + " was not a round number")
 *
 * def isDivBy3(i: Int): Validation[ErrorMessage] =
 *   if (i % 3 == 0) Pass else Fail(i + " was not divisible by 3")
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
    
 * If the Or on which you call when is already Bad, you get the same (Bad) Or back, because
 * no Good value exists to pass to the valiation functions:
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
     * parseAge("-30").when(isRound, isDivBy3)
 * // Result: Bad(One("-30" is not a valid age))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * If the Or on which you call when is Good, and also passes all the validation functions (i.e., the
 * all return None), you again get the same Or back, but this time, a Good one:
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
     * parseAge("30").when(isRound, isDivBy3)
 * // Result: Good(30)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * If one or more of the validation functions fails, however, you'll get a Bad back contining every error. Here are some examples:
 * 
    
 * 
 * 
     * parseAge("33").when(isRound, isDivBy3)
 * // Result: Bad(One(33 was not a round number))
 *
 * parseAge("20").when(isRound, isDivBy3)
 * // Result: Bad(One(20 was not divisible by 3))
 *
 * parseAge("31").when(isRound, isDivBy3)
 * // Result: Bad(Many(31 was not a round number, 31 was not divisible by 3))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Note that you can use when to accumulate errors in a for expression involving an accumulating Or, like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * for (age <- parseAge("-30") when (isRound, isDivBy3)) yield age
 * // Result: Bad(One("-30" is not a valid age))
 *
 * for (age <- parseAge("30") when (isRound, isDivBy3)) yield age
 * // Result: Good(30)
 *
 * for (age <- parseAge("33") when (isRound, isDivBy3)) yield age
 * // Result: Bad(One(33 was not a round number))
 *
 * for (age <- parseAge("20") when (isRound, isDivBy3)) yield age
 * // Result: Bad(One(20 was not divisible by 3))
 *
 * for (age <- parseAge("31") when (isRound, isDivBy3)) yield age
 * // Result: Bad(Many(31 was not a round number, 31 was not divisible by 3))
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    Much ado about Nothing
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Because Or has two types, but each of its two subtypes only takes a value of one or the other type, the Scala compiler will
 * infer Nothing for the unspecified type:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * scala> Good(3)
 * res0: org.scalactic.Good[Int,Nothing] = Good(3)
 *
 * scala> Bad("oops")
 * res1: org.scalactic.Bad[Nothing,String] = Bad(oops)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Often Nothing will work fine, as it will be widened as soon as the compiler encounters a more specific type.
 * Sometimes, however, you may need to specify it. In such situations you can use this syntax:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * scala> Good(3).orBad[String]
 * res2: org.scalactic.Good[Int,String] = Good(3)
 *
 * scala> Good[Int].orBad("oops")
 * res3: org.scalactic.Bad[Int,String] = Bad(oops)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * If you want to specify both types, because you don't like the inferred type, you can do so like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * scala> Good[AnyVal, String](3)
 * res4: org.scalactic.Good[AnyVal,String] = Good(3)
 *
 * scala> Bad[Int, ErrorMessage]("oops")
 * res5: org.scalactic.Bad[Int,org.scalactic.ErrorMessage] = Bad(oops)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * But you may find the code is clearer if you instead use a type ascription, like this:
 * 
    
 *
 * 
     * scala> Good(3): AnyVal Or String
 * res6: org.scalactic.Or[AnyVal,String] = Good(3)
 *
 * scala> Bad("oops"): Int Or ErrorMessage
 * res7: org.scalactic.Or[Int,org.scalactic.ErrorMessage] = Bad(oops)
 * 
    
 *
 * 
    
 * Note: The Or hierarchy was inspired in part by the disjoint union (\/) and Validation types of
 * scalaz, the ProcessResult type of
 * Typesafe Activator, and the Result type of
 * ScalaKittens.

   *
   * 
       * scala> oddSum(List(1, 2, 3))
   * res2: org.scalactic.Or[Int,org.scalactic.ErrorMessage] = Bad(2 is not odd)

   *
   * 
    
   * Because Or has two types, but the Bad factory method only takes a value of the “bad” type, the Scala compiler will
   * infer Nothing for the Good type:
   * 
    
   *
   * 
       * scala> Bad("oops")
   * res1: org.scalactic.Bad[Nothing,String] = Bad(oops)

   * Often Nothing will work fine, as it will be widened as soon as the compiler encounters a more specific Good type.
   * Sometimes, however, you may need to specify it. In such situations you can use this factory method, like this:
   * 
    
   *
   * 
       * scala> Good[Int].orBad("oops")
   * res3: org.scalactic.Bad[Int,String] = Bad(oops)

   * Returns this Bad with the type widened to Or.
   *
   * 
    
   * This widening method can useful when the compiler infers the more specific Bad type and
   * you need the more general Or type. Here's an example that uses foldLeft on
   * a List[Int] to find the first even number in the List:
   * 
    
   *
   * 
       * scala> import org.scalactic._
   * import org.scalactic._
   *
   * scala> def findFirstEven(xs: List[Int]): Int Or ErrorMessage =
   *      |   xs.foldLeft(Good[Int].orBad("No even nums")) { (acc, x) =>
   *      |     acc orElse (if (x % 2 == 0) Good(x) else acc)
   *      |   }
   * <console>:13: error: type mismatch;
   *  found   : org.scalactic.Or[Int,String]
   *  required: org.scalactic.Bad[Int,String]
   *            acc orElse (if (x % 2 == 0) Good(x) else acc)
   *                ^
   * 
    
   *
   * 
    
   * Because the compiler infers the type of the first parameter to foldLeft to be Bad[Int, String],
   * it expects the same type to appear as the result type of function passed as the second, curried parameter. What you really want is
   * that both types be Int Or String, but the compiler thinks you want them to be the more specific
   * Bad[Int, String]. You can use the asOr method to indicate you want the type to be Or
   * with minimal boilerplate:
   * 
    
   *
   * 
       * scala> def findFirstEven(xs: List[Int]): Int Or ErrorMessage =
   *      |   xs.foldLeft(Good[Int].orBad("No even nums").asOr) { (acc, x) =>
   *      |     acc orElse (if (x % 2 == 0) Good(x) else acc)
   *      |   }
   * findFirstEven: (xs: List[Int])org.scalactic.Or[Int,String]
   * 
    
   *
   * 
    
   * Now you can use the method to find the first even number in a List:
   * 
    
   *
   * 
       * scala> findFirstEven(List(1, 2, 3))
   * res4: org.scalactic.Or[Int,ErrorMessage] = Good(2)
   *
   * scala> findFirstEven(List(1, 3, 5))
   * res5: org.scalactic.Or[Int,ErrorMessage] = Bad(No even nums)
   *
