Re: [Haskell-beginners] maybe in IO

I'd rather use pattern matching in this case: check x assoc = case lookup x of Just found -> putStrLn ("found " ++ found) _ -> Not really shorter but I think it's cleaner this way. On Thu, Aug 1, 2013 at 5:00 PM, vold wrote:

I've defined a function similar to

check x assoc = let found = lookup x assoc in when (isJust found) $ putStrLn $ "found " ++ fromJust found

which I've used several times from within the IO monad. Is there a more compact way of doing this?
