I figured out the [[Int]] case for myself, but hadn't considered the Failure case. Thanks.
In function "searchAll", given a calling context Failable [Int], for the line where search' [] = failure "no path" "failure" would be "Fail", a constructor that takes a String. Right? But using either of the other two contexts, where failure equals either const Nothing or const [] it would seem like that same string argument "no path" would be passed to either Nothing or [], which doesn't make any sense.

Works for me. *Main> searchAll g 1 3 :: [[Int]] [[1,2,3],[1,4,3]] *Main> searchAll g 1 3 :: Maybe [Int] Just [1,2,3] *Main> searchAll g 1 3 :: Failable [Int] Success [1,2,3] > Also, how the heck does Haskell decide which "success", "failure", > "augment", and "combine" to use in function "searchAll", since there are > five possibilities. *Main> :t searchAll searchAll :: (Computation c) => Graph t t1 -> Int -> Int -> c [Int] The way searchAll is written, the choice of which functions to use depends on the type variable c. That's determined by the calling context of searchAll, which is why you need to provide a type signature when using it at the GHCi command line. -- Dave Menendez <d...@zednenem.com> <http://www.eyrie.org/~zednenem/>
