Aboiut continuation monad

Search for Bind in Haskell-related monad descriptions. I don't know why it was adoped here.   Note that the case class M[A] receives a parameter called "in", which is a function returning Answer and receiving a function (A => Answer) as parameter. So:   M[B](c => in (a => k(a) in c)) = new M[B](parameter) parameter = c => in (a => k(a) in c)) = function receiving "c" as parameter and returning in (a => k(a) in c). in (a => k(a) in c) = call the "in" function defined for the present M object, and pass (a => k(a) in c) as a parameter. Remember hat "in" is a function which receives a funcion as a parameter; a => k(a) in c = function which receives "a", and returns k(a) in c k(a) in c = k(a) returns M[B], and M[B] defines"in". So k(a) in c is the infix notation for k(a).in(c).

 }

what does the bind function mean ? especially i donot understand "M[B](c =>
in (a => k(a) in c)"

Sincerely!

Something I learned in academia: there are three kinds of academic reviews: review by name, review by reference and review by value.

k(a) in c is the infix notation for k(a).in(c).
i see now, thanks !
