Re: [Haskell-cafe] Declaring a tuple of instances of Enums as an instance of the Enum class
Also, this way lies a bit of madness, since fromEnum/toEnum work on Int, not Integer. This means EnumPair (EnumPair Month Month) (EnumPair Month Month) overflows -- ryan On Tue, May 25, 2010 at 11:30 AM, Henning Thielemann schlepp...@henning-thielemann.de wrote: Daniel Fischer schrieb: On Sunday 23 May 2010 15:33:58, Ivan Lazar Miljenovic wrote: R J rj248...@hotmail.com writes: Say I've got a type Month declared as an instance of the Enum class, and a type MonthPair declared as a pair of months: data Month = January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December deriving (Eq, Enum, Ord, Show) type MonthPair = (Month, Month) deriving (Enum) The deriving on MonthPair gives me the error parse error on input deriving'.

[Haskell-cafe] Declaring a tuple of instances of Enums as an instance of the Enum class
Say I've got a type Month declared as an instance of the Enum class, and a type MonthPair declared as a pair of months: data Month = January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December deriving (Eq, Enum, Ord, Show) type MonthPair = (Month, Month) deriving (Enum) The deriving on MonthPair gives me the error parse error on input 'deriving'. Why is this error generated? Is there a syntax error, or is there a conceptual problem with enumerating a Cartesian product, such as Month x Month? The cardinality of the Cartesian product is finite (including the bottom values, cardinality = 1 + (12 + 1)*(12 + 1) = 170), and so the product is amenable at least to some arbitrary enumeration (such as Cantor's diagonal method).
