In some cases you may decide that providing a lawful `tailRecM` may be impractical or even impossible (if so we'd like to hear about it). For these cases we provide a way of testing all of the monad laws _except_ for the stack safety of `tailRecM`: just replace `MonadTests[F].monad[A, B, C]` in your tests with `MonadTests[F].stackUnsafeMonad[A, B, C]`.


## <a id="symbol" href="#symbol"></a>What does this symbol mean?

Below is a list of symbols used in cats.

The `~>`, `⊥`, `⊤`, `:<:` and `:≺:` symbols can be imported with `import cats._`.

All other symbols can be imported with `import cats.implicits._`

| Symbol | Name | Nickname | Type Class | Signature |
| -------------------------------- | ---------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------- |
| <code>fa &#124;@&#124; fb</code> | Cartesian builder | Cinnabon, scream | `Cartesian[F[_]]` | <code>&#124;@&#124;(fa: F[A])(fb: F[B]): F[(A, B)]</code> |
| `fa *> fb` | right apply | | `Cartesian[F[_]]` | `*>(fa: F[A])(fb: F[B]): F[A]` |
| `fa <* fb` | left apply | | `Cartesian[F[_]]` | `<*(fa: F[A])(fb: F[B]): F[B]` |
| `x === y` | equals | | `Eq[A]` | `eqv(x: A, y: A): Boolean` |
| `x =!= y` | not equals | | `Eq[A]` | `neqv(x: A, y: A): Boolean` |
| `fa >>= f` | flatMap | | `FlatMap[F[_]]` | `flatMap(fa: F[A])(f: A => F[B]): F[B]` |
| `fa >> fb` | followed by | | `FlatMap[F[_]]` | `followedBy(fa: F[A])(fb: F[B]): F[B]` |
