Multiline code in GHCi
by Shishir Srivastava 30 Aug '17

30 Aug '17

Hi, I am trying to run this basic multiline code in GHCi. I am not sure if this is even possible without writing it in a file and compiling it in a traditional way. ------- Prelude> :set +m Prelude> let main1 = do Prelude| a <- readLn Prelude| return a Prelude| Prelude> Prelude> main1 <interactive>:75:1: No instance for (Show (IO b0)) arising from a use of `print' In the first argument of `print', namely `it' In a stmt of an interactive GHCi command: print it ------- Could someone please confirm if the function can be defined and called like this in GHCi or point to where am going wrong. Thanks, Shishir Srivastava

Making a Tic-Tac-Toe Game
by Sudhanshu Jaiswal 23 Feb '17

23 Feb '17

Also called as Noughts and crosses or Xs and Os. Hello everyone, How do I start making a *Two Player* Tic Tac Toe game in Haskell? The program basically has to show the 3*3 grid as coordinates and let each player choose his coordinates in his turn by entering the coordinates of the required cell. I also want to be able to check if a player has won and display it once the winning move has been made or the same for a Draw. What have I done? - I have read Learn You a Haskell till Modules and know basic I/O. I don't want the code instead, I am interested in learning stuff and trying problems which would lead me to get the intuition and ability to make the game by myself. I would be thankful if you folks could direct me to related problems which I could do or some advice as to how I should go about implementing such a program. -- Sudhanshu

How to link two Types

Hello, I wrote this code data DataFrameH5 a = DataFrameH5 (Nxs a) -- Nexus file (DataSource H5) -- gamma (DataSource H5) -- delta (DataSource H5) -- wavelength PoniGenerator -- ponie generator class Frame t a where len :: t -> IO (Maybe Int) row :: t -> Int -> MaybeT IO (DifTomoFrame a DIM1) instance Frame (DataFrameH5 DataFrameH5Path) DataFrameH5Path where len (DataFrameH5 _ _ (DataSourceH5 _ d) _ _) = lenH5Dataspace d row d@(DataFrameH5 nxs' g d' w ponigen) idx = do n <- lift $ len d let eof = fromJust n - 1 == idx let mu = 0.0 let komega = 0.0 let kappa = 0.0 let kphi = 0.0 gamma <- g `atIndex'` (ix1 0) delta <- d' `atIndex'` (ix1 idx) wavelength <- w `atIndex'` (ix1 0) let source = Source (head wavelength *~ nano meter) let positions = concat [mu, komega, kappa, kphi, gamma, delta] -- print positions let geometry = Geometry K6c source positions Nothing let detector = ZeroD m <- lift $ geometryDetectorRotationGet geometry detector poniext <- lift $ ponigen (MyMatrix HklB m) idx return $ DifTomoFrame { difTomoFrameNxs = nxs' , difTomoFrameIdx = idx , difTomoFrameEOF = eof , difTomoFrameGeometry = geometry , difTomoFramePoniExt = poniext } has you can see my t type contains also the a reference to the a one So when I create the instance, I need to write two times the DataFrameH5Path I would like to know how to write the same class with only class Frame t where len :: t -> IO (Maybe Int) row :: t -> Int -> MaybeT IO (DifTomoFrame <extract type a from type t> DIM1) thanks for your help Frederic

I'm new to functional programming, Whether it is possible to do operator overloading in Haskell ? I go through the Idea of TYPECLASSES in Learn you haskell tutorial. But I can't understand the idea Can anyone suggest me some idea regarding Operator overloading and Type classes in Haskell. Thank you guys Praveen v

how do typeclasses work again?
by Nicholls, Mark 12 Feb '17

12 Feb '17

Sorry..I do haskell about once every 6 months for 2 hours...and then get on with my life. I always forget some nuance of typeclasses. Consider some simple typeclass > class Is isx x where > apply :: (x -> y) -> isx -> y We can make any type a member of it...mapping to itself > instance Is x x where > apply f = f But we can also make a tuple a member of it...and pull the 1st member.. > instance Is (x,y) x where > apply f (x,y) = f x Weird and largey useless...but I'm playing. Then construct a function to operate on it > foo2 :: (Is isx Integer) => isx -> String > foo2 = apply (\i -> "") And... • Could not deduce (Is isx x0) arising from a use of ‘apply’ from the context: Is isx Integer bound by the type signature for: foo2 :: Is isx Integer => isx -> String at prop.lhs:51:3-43 The type variable ‘x0’ is ambiguous Relevant bindings include foo2 :: isx -> String (bound at prop.lhs:52:3) These potential instances exist: instance Is x x -- Defined at prop.lhs:41:12 instance Is (x, y) x -- Defined at prop.lhs:45:12 • In the expression: apply (\ i -> "") In an equation for ‘foo2’: foo2 = apply (\ i -> "") What's it going on about? (my brain is locked in F# OO type mode) I've told it to expect a function "Integer -> String"...surely? Whats the problem.

I would like to make a general comment that is likely not useful to the specific question asked (which I think has already been nicely answered by others). But I would like to point out this video of an excellent lecture on typeclasses given by Simon Peyton-Jones a few years ago. https://channel9.msdn.com/posts/MDCC-TechTalk-Classes-Jim-but-not-as-we-kno… Cheers, Dimitri -- 2E45 D376 A744 C671 5100 A261 210B 8461 0FB0 CA1F
