Re: [Haskell-beginners] MaximumBy

Hi, Maybe I’m on a different version, but I don’t see a function called maximumBy in my base Prelude. Can you give us a type signature for the function? If you’re not sure how to do that just type: Prelude> :t maximumBy In your ghci interpreter and it should return the type signature of whatever you have after ‘:t ‘ (this works for compound expressions too if you put them in brackets) Perhaps maximumBy is what you’re meant to call your rewrite of the existing function I see called ‘maximum’ (seems to do the same thing). Let me know if thats the case and I can explain how it works. Best regards, Daniel van de Ghinste

Hi,

I want to re-write a function maximumBy (its an assignment).

However, I don't get how it works.

...

maximumBy compare [1,53,9001, 10] 9001

but what does it actually do to get there?

thanks in advance.

best,
