Problem in calling COM from Haskell

2000-07-23 Thread Nguyen Phan Dung
Hi, I am trying to write some Haskell application using COM. One application is controling the LEGO robot. The robot works fine when I code my program using VB. However, when I use Haskell, there is an error: "invoke fail", "invalid number of parameters". Because my Haskell program can be comp

Chapter "IO" of the Haskell 98 Library Report contains this example: import IO import System main = do [f1,f2] <- getArgs h1 <- openFile f1 ReadMode h2 <- openFile f2 WriteMode copyFile h1 h2 hClose h1 hClose h2

printing intermediate expressions

Hi,   Is there a way to let hugs show the intermediate expressions in a reduction sequence?   There's a module that comes with hugs called "EvalRed.hs" which has functions that do something like this, but it only works for expressions of the type "Term", where Term = Square Term | Plus Term

There was earlier some discussion on the Basic algebra proposal (basAlgPropos), in particular, about the Sample argument approach (SA). This SA is somehow opposed by the Haskell community. On the other hand, it may occur that the dependent types, Cayenne provide some alternative approach
