Hello everyone, I have a simple question here Define a function isLower ::
Char -> Bool which returns True if a given character is a lower case letter.
You can use the fact that characters are ordered, and for all lower case
letters ch we have ′a′ ≤ ch and ch ≤ ′z′. Alternatively, you can use the fact
that ['a'..'z'] evaluates to a list containing all lower case letters.
And May I ask what is the meaning of ch <= 'z' and 'a' <= ch? I copied this
as a condition and solved the problem.here is my work.
isLower :: Char -> Bool
isLower x = if x ch <= 'z' && 'a' <= ch then True else False.
Thanks in advance.

Hello 清羽, Char is an instance of Ord, so you can use <, compare, etc.
with it.
<= and >= stand for "less or equal than" and "greater or equal than".
As with many enumeration types, the order is a bit arbitrary
λ> minBound :: Char
'\NUL'
λ> maxBound :: Char
'\1114111'
λ> ['$'..'Z']
"$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>?@ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
-- so * will be < than, say, A
λ> '*' < 'A'
True
Does that answer your question?

Hey Karim,
it is "please send your contributions to *hcar* at haskell.org"
in the same (antispam) fashion as "karim.salah2048 at gmail.com"

'ch' here is a variable, standing for 'character.' It takes the place of
'x'. Your solution is almost correct, you just need to pick one name or the
other for your variable.
