Hi There, Here is a very simple haskell program I have written to find whether a number is prime or not, which doesn't give me any compilation error but gives following run-time error : Any help would help me move ahead, I know that the type concepts is what I am lacking, anly pointer to simple/good article/paper would definitely help. Lots of thannx jut even to look at the mail :-) Regards Kaushal *Run Time Error :* kaushal > isPrime1 171 <interactive>:1:0: Ambiguous type variable `t' in the constraints: `Integral t' arising from a use of `isPrime1' at <interactive>:1:0-11 `Floating t' arising from a use of `isPrime1' at <interactive>:1:0-11 `RealFrac t' arising from a use of `isPrime1' at <interactive>:1:0-11 Probable fix: add a type signature that fixes these type variable(s) kaushal > *Program :* isPrime1 x = let canDivide num 0 = 0 canDivide num 1 = 0 canDivide num divisor = if ((mod num divisor) == 0) then 1 else canDivide num (divisor - 1) in if ( x == 1 ) then putStrLn("1 is Neither prime nor composite!!!") else if ((canDivide x first_div) == 1) then putStrLn(show(x) ++ " is not a Prime Number!!!") else putStrLn(show(x) ++ " is a Prime Number!!!") where first_div :: Integral a => a ; first_div = round (sqrt x)

Working With TVars
by aditya siram 28 Apr '09

Hi all, I have a tuple inside a TVar : > type MySTM = TVar (Int,Int) Whenever I want to edit/read 'a' or 'b' I find myself writing : > editFunction mySTM = do (a',b') <- readTVar mySTM dostuff a' ... This is boilerplate stuff, so I decided to write some accessors. So far I have : > getA , getB :: MySTM -> STM Int > getA mySTM = do > (a',b') <- readTVar mySTM > return a' > > getB mySTM = do > (a',b') <- readTVar mySTM > return b' I want to be able to use these accessors like so: > doSomethingWithA mySTM = do > case (getA mySTM) of > 1 -> doStuff > 0 -> doSomethingElse But getA returns an STM Int, so I still have to do a : > doSomethingWithA = do > a' <- (getA mySTM) > case a' of > 1 -> doStuff > 0 -> doSomethingElse This doesn't really save me a lot of boilerplate. What is the best way of writing a function that just returns my values do I can work with them in the STM monad without unpacking them all the time? Thanks , Deech

Thanks, Jan. And now I realized that I don't really care about the domain, so I said: Prelude> let m = mapM (\x -> [(x,-1),(x,0),(x,1)]) ['a','b','c'] Prelude> map (\x -> snd $ unzip x) m [[-1,-1,-1],[-1,-1,0],[-1,-1,1],[-1,0,-1],[-1,0,0],[-1,0,1],[-1,1,-1],[-1,1,0],[-1,1,1],[0,-1,-1],[0,-1,0],[0,-1,1],[0,0,-1],[0,0,0],[0,0,1],[0,1,-1],[0,1,0],[0,1,1],[1,-1,-1],[1,-1,0],[1,-1,1],[1,0,-1],[1,0,0],[1,0,1],[1,1,-1],[1,1,0],[1,1,1]] Any more direct way of doing this? (Still trying to understand how the mapM works... I've found it's sequence.map, but that doesn't really help.) The next step will be to choose a good data format for what I'm trying to achieve. The functions (now represented as lists) would more naturally be represented as column matrices, e.g., from Numeric.LinearAlgebra of hmatrix, as I'll be needing some linear system solver. I can do the transition from lists to that, but I'm afraid they don't give me the necessary flexibility; I'd need to filter them based on (maximum/minimum) component values and sum them and such. Any thoughts on that? Erik

Re: [Haskell-beginners] problem cabal install'ing hmatrix
by Alberto Ruiz 27 Apr '09

Hi Erik, Probably a dependency not mentionend in extra-libraries is missing. There is not a standard way to link -llapack. For instance, in Ubuntu/Debian we only need gsl and lapack: $ ld -lgsl -llapack ld: warning: cannot find entry symbol _start; not setting start address This means that everything is ok, but in other systems we may also need some of -l[gsl]cblas, -lgfortran, or -lf77blas, -latlas, -lgcc_s, etc. Try to find the correct libraries with $ ld -lgsl -llapack -lgslcblas or other combinations, and modify the extra-libraries field in hmatrix.cabal. In any case, I will try to add cabal flags to cover common situations. (There is also a possible issue with ghc-6.8 that must be fixed, but the library should work ok with 6.10). Alberto PS: I CC the list for reference.

Can you elaborate ? Well, elaborate about my ultimate goal, or about the powerset definition? The latter I can tell little about, I found it on-line and recognized it as a starting point. The former: generalizing http://users.ugent.be/~equaeghe/constraints.php to previsions from probabilities; C++ is a little too heavy, so I thought I'd try out Haskell. Erik

data constructors
by Michael Mossey 27 Apr '09

27 Apr '09

This is probably a side-effect of coming from OO land, but I'm confused about how to organize my data. Let's say I want to model musical information that occurs on a single staff. A staff consists of a list of StaffItem which occurs at specific times. type Time = Double type Staff = [(Time,StaffItem)] A StaffItem can be one of several things. Let's say it can be a "chord" or a "control". I might like to define Chord and Control first: data Chord = Chord { duration :: Double, notes :: [Note] } data Control = DynamicMark Int | TempoMark Int Okay, so now I want to express the idea a StaffItem can be a Chord or a Control. data StaffItem = StaffItemChord Chord | StaffItemControl Control My problem is the awkward need for separately named constructors "StaffItemChord" and "StaffItemControl". Is there a better way? (Is this even right?) Thanks, Mike

music layout problem
by Michael Mossey 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

I'm continuing to work on this music layout problem, and I'm trying another angle. A page of music is made of many individual symbols and graphical items like lines and arcs. I decided to call a drawable symbol/item a Grapheme. so type MusicPage = [Grapheme] The program also maintains the more fundamental description of music in conceptual form---that is, notes, chords, time signatures, tempo indications, etc. I decided to call bits of information about music Datemes. type MusicScore = [Dateme] A function to lay out a musical page would have this signature: layoutPage :: [Dateme] -> [Grapheme] Now let's think about the structure of a page of music for a moment. It's made of *systems*, which are groups of notes read from left to right. A page consists of a number of systems stacked vertically (like a page of text has lines of text stacked vertically). The layout algorithm will fit as many systems as it can into a page. When it runs out of space, it will stop (even if there are Dateme left). A layout algorithm in imperative pseudocode would look something like: - initialize the list remainingDateme to the input list of Dateme - loop - looking at the list of remainingDateme, make a system - try to fit the system to the page - if the system doesn't fit, break out of the loop - add the system to the page - drop the used Dateme from remainingDateme - if remainingDateme is empty, break out of the loop - go to top of loop I tried to write this in Haskell, and it seem awkward. It would be something like: -- layout page, produce list of Grapheme and also list of -- unused Dateme layoutPage :: PageDimensions -> [Dateme] -> ( [Grapheme], [Dateme] ) layoutPage dim dateme = layoutPage' dim [] dateme layoutPage' :: PageDimensions -> [Grapheme] -> [Dateme] -> ( [Grapheme], [Dateme] ) layoutPage' dim graphemeSoFar [] = ( graphemeSoFar, [] ) layoutPage' dim graphemeSoFar remainingDateme = let ( newGrapheme, remainingDateme', dim' ) = layoutSystem dim remainingDateme in if null newGrapheme then ( graphemeSoFar, remainingDateme ) else layoutPage' dim' (graphemeSoFar ++ newGrapheme) remainingDateme' We assume this is defined elsewhere: -- layoutSystem takes as input the current page dimensions (think of -- the "current page dimensions" as the room *remaining* on the page), -- and a list of Dateme, and returns the triple: -- ( [Grapheme] for the new system, or null list if no additional system -- can fit on the page, -- remaining [Dateme] that are not consumed, -- new page dimensions ) layoutSystem :: PageDimensions -> [Dateme] -> ( [Grapheme], [Dateme], PageDimensions )

parser comparison question
by Walck, Scott 25 Apr '09

25 Apr '09

I've been comparing Graham Hutton's simple parser with Parsec. Here is some example code. -- Comparison of Hutton's simple parser with Parsec -- Hutton's simple parser is available at -- http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~gmh/Parsing.lhs -- Hutton simple parser called H -- Parsec called P import qualified Parsing as H import qualified Text.ParserCombinators.Parsec as P exH = H.parse (H.string "hi") "hiho" exP = P.parse (P.string "hi") "" "hiho" charH = H.parse (H.char 'a' H.+++ H.char 'b') "bbb" charP = P.parse (P.char 'a' P.<|> P.char 'b') "" "bbb" choiceH = H.parse (H.string "hoo" H.+++ H.string "ho") "hono" choiceP1 = P.parse (P.string "bb" P.<|> P.string "ba") "" "bbb" choiceP2 = P.parse (P.string "ba" P.<|> P.string "bb") "" "bbb" choiceP22 = P.parse (P.try (P.string "ba") P.<|> P.string "bb") "" "bbc" I am interested if anyone could comment on the design of the Parsec 'try' function. For example, choiceP2 fails and returns Left error, while choiceP22 succeeds. Hutton's simple parser doesn't need try. It seems so simple and elegant. I'm wondering why Parsec requires me to use 'try' for a string parse that might fail. Thanks, Scott Scott N. Walck Associate Professor of Physics Lebanon Valley College
