Hello, > frombin :: [Bit] -> Int > > frombin [] = 0 > > frombin (n:ns) = sum (n:( frombin (map (*2) ns)))
frombin takes a list of Bits and returns an Int, but (:) needs a list as its second argument. Try something like > frombin (n:ns) = n + 2*(frombin ns) or >frombin = foldr (\x y->x+2*y) 0 Ciao, Steffen _______________________________________________ Haskell mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell
