Hello. I have the following data and it's constructors: FigType = TR1 | TR2 | TR3 | TR4 | SQ | L1 | L2 | Z1 | Z2 | Z3 | Z4 | NoFigure I need to randomly return one of them in a function. The obvious solution to me, is simply using a random number generator and case statement, where each value generated is associated with each data constructor. Like this: import System.Random randomFigType :: IO FigType randomFigure = do x <- randomRIO (1::Int,11::Int) return $ case x of 1 -> TR1 2 -> TR2 3 -> TR3 e t.c. But is there a more direct way to do this? _________________________________________________________________ Hotmail: Trusted email with Microsoft’s powerful SPAM protection. https://signup.live.com/signup.aspx?id=60969
