Hi, 

Could anyone please have a look and let me know how you can create the instance of this data type ?

---

 data Person = Person { firstName ::String -> Int }

---

I've seen this type of syntax in a lot of places in haskell code where a new data type is defined in terms of functions rather than concrete data types.

I am not trying to achieve anything out of this but purely as an exercise in understanding the record syntax.

As far as I understand the data type is function based and takes a 'function' instead of a value of a concrete type so how does one create an instance of this type.

Thanks,

Shishir
