For exploration use GHCi. It can tell you the type of thing you have written. It has command to tell you type of thing, the ":t". See here: Prelude> let double x = Just (x + x) Prelude> :t double double :: (Num a) => a -> Maybe a Prelude> let iota n = [1..n] Prelude> :t iota iota :: (Num t, Enum t) => t -> [t] Prelude> [3,4,5] >>= iota [1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3,4,5] You don't have to guess then, Haskell compiler can do the guessing for you. It is called type inference. -- Gracjan _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list Haskell-Cafe@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
