I'm not sure whether you are reading our posts, but we have explained in detail the difference. Once understood, you won't get errors like that anymore.
As a well meant suggestion, you have to actually read the answers to your posts, even if they are long.
ertugrul, believe me i read the posts (more than a few times) - especially yours in fact and am very appreciative. however, it takes me a while to understand what's going on - even to connect similar ideas together. i certainly don't mind long posts either, but i am still having difficulties putting the ideas together. i tend to be a bit slow anyway and keep thinking in python terms. i intend to respond once i understand the ideas better. for instance, what you wrote here made sense to me: ======== let readBlahTxt = readFile "blah.txt" content <- readBlahTxt This should show the difference more clearly. ======== however, i still can't quite connect it to the idea of what it has to do with getting monad data out of a monad and into the pure realm. late last night, though, i was able to do so, but it took while.
Posting essentially the same questions over and over gets you nowhere.
agreed and i apologize. my problem is that i don't even see that it is the same question. as you have pointed out once before, "You're still thinking way too complicated." i think what happens is i keep trying different things over and over again. that affects my thinking no doubt. i should likely think more and try less.
A monad is just a way to combine computations.
this wasn't clear to me till now even though i had read your continuing exchange with kyle and the example both of you were discussing regarding >>= (and i had read up on the operator and even tried it).
I don't like to mention my own one
i would very much like to see yours.
I agree with Brent
i think brent's delightful blog post describes my present dilemmas ... except i haven't quite gotten to the point of being able to say "monads are burritos" ... so i think there is likely still hope for me. ;) -- In friendship, prad ... with you on your journey Towards Freedom http://www.towardsfreedom.com (website) Information, Inspiration, Imagination - truly a site for soaring I's
