Hello Haskellers Why is it that in GHCI I can do, for example,
replicate 6 5 [5,5,5,5,5,5] let my6 = replicate 6 my6 5 [5,5,5,5,5,5]
but if I do
sort "bav" "abv"
this is ok, but
let mySort = sort mySort "bav"
<interactive>:1:8: Couldn't match expected type `()' with actual type `Char' Expected type: [()] Actual type: [Char] In the first argument of `mySort', namely `"bav"' In the expression: mySort "bav" and/or
mySort [6,5,9]
<interactive>:1:13: No instance for (Num ()) arising from the literal `9' Possible fix: add an instance declaration for (Num ()) In the expression: 9 In the first argument of `mySort', namely `[6, 5, 9]' In the expression: mySort [6, 5, 9] This is eluding me at the moment..! ;-) / Henry
