In studying Haskell, I produced the following output from GHC: xxx-3:~ xxx$ GHCi GHCi, version 6.12.3: http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ :? for help Loading package ghc-prim ... linking ... done. Loading package integer-gmp ... linking ... done. Loading package base ... linking ... done. Loading package ffi-1.0 ... linking ... done. Prelude> let f 7 = "ok" Prelude> let f x = "no" Prelude> f 3 "no" Prelude> f 7 "no" I suppose it is correct. However, for someone who is interested in the language, it seems very counterintuitive... Somebody would be so kind to explain to a neophyte this "feature" of the language? Thank you very much. Renzo
