Hi.
I'm trying to write a code which counts the number of ?'a's ?in a string.
it looks like this :
mycounter st =
if st == [] then 0
else if head st == 'a' then 1 + mycounter tail st else mycounter tail st
but it gives this error :?
ERROR "deneme.hs":19 - Type error in function binding
*** Term ? ? ? ? ? :mycounter
*** Type ? ? ? ? ? : [Char] -> b
*** Does not match : ([a] -> [a]) -> [Char] -> b
*** Because ? ? ? ?: unification would give infinite type
I have no idea about what I'm doing wrong. Can you help me with this please?

I didn't verify, but it could be that you need parenthesize the `counter tail
st`
part.
A different kind of solution could be:
counter [] = 0
counter ('a':xs) = 1 + counter xs
counter (_:xs) = counter xs
Or maybe even: `length $ filter (== 'a') xs`

You're missing some parenthesis. Instead of "mycounter tail st" write
"mycounter (tail st)".

I think you are just missing parentheses:
mycounter st =
if st == [] then 0
else if head st == 'a' then 1 + mycounter (tail st) else mycounter (tail st)

Subject: [Haskell-beginners] a problem with happy ABCParser example

Hello,
Greeting everybody.
I am a beginner of Haskell. I am trying out the happy.
When I compiled the happy grammar file for the ABCParser given at
http://www.haskell.org/happy/doc/html/sec-AttributeGrammarExample.html
I did get a Haskell source file.
Then I loaded this file, named "abc.hs" into ghci.
There is a function called "parse" available to us.
GHCi shows its type to be
parse :: [Char] -> [Char]
But no matter whatever input I give to the parse function, it always gives
the following error:
"*** Exception: parse error
Here are some sample inputs on the GHCi shell:
*ABCParser> parse "abc"
"*** Exception: parse error
*ABCParser> parse "a"
"*** Exception: parse error
*ABCParser> parse ""
"*** Exception: parse error
*ABCParser> parse "aabbcc"
"*** Exception: parse error
What is the problem?
The happy grammar is here:
{
module ABCParser (parse) where
}
%tokentype { Char }
%token a { 'a' }
%token b { 'b' }
%token c { 'c' }
%token newline { '\n' }
%attributetype { Attrs a }
%attribute value { a }
%attribute len { Int }
%name parse abcstring
%%
abcstring
: alist blist clist newline
{ $$ = $1 ++ $2 ++ $3
; $2.len = $1.len
; $3.len = $1.len
}
alist
: a alist
{ $$ = $1 : $2
; $$.len = $2.len + 1
}
| { $$ = []; $$.len = 0 }
blist
: b blist
{ $$ = $1 : $2
; $2.len = $$.len - 1
}
| { $$ = []
; where failUnless ($$.len == 0) "blist wrong length"
}
clist
: c clist
{ $$ = $1 : $2
; $2.len = $$.len - 1
}
| { $$ = []
; where failUnless ($$.len == 0) "clist wrong length"
}
{
happyError = error "parse error"
failUnless b msg = if b then () else error msg
}

Hi,?
I wrote that function:
?wordCount x = length(words x)
but I get this :
ERROR "a.hs":73 - Syntax error in input (unexpected symbol "wordCount")
Can you tell me how can I get rid of this error please? Thanks..
