Hello
Please tell me why this program does not work: http://hpaste.org/74171
Tags in audio file are recorded correctly, other programs see them.
Thanks for the help

Dear Sir/Madam
I Installed *Haskell Platform 2012.2.0.0 for
Windows<http://lambda.haskell.org/platform/download/2012.2.0.0/HaskellPlatform-2012.2.0.0-setup.exe>
*and try to load Stdm.lhs which is downloaded from
http://www.dcs.gla.ac.uk/~jtod/discrete-mathematics/Stdm.lhs
I have this error:
stdm.lhs:1160:14: Parse error in pattern: n + 1
Failed, modules loaded: none.
Is there anything I should do to make it right?
Thank you.

What version of ghc are you using?
In recent versions ghc doesn't support pattern matching of expressions
like (n+1).
You can rewrite that factorial function as
factorial n = n * factorial (n-1)
instead.
best,
Eugene

No one replied to this, but I think I figured out why, when I am using the
Error monad, that every statement in a do construct runs at least part way,
whether or not its data is needed. The final output is a Left or Right
value -- and because a Left anywhere can short-circuit the compuation that
follows, there is no way for the program to decide on a final Left/Right
output without running each computation (or at least up to the point where
it's not a Left).
