Re: [Haskell-beginners] Case statements shorter

No, not if you use case. But you can do better with a simple if, in this particular case. if n == 3 || n == 4 then "Something" else "Other" Or even, if n `elem` [3,4] them "Something" else "Other" HTH, On 1 November 2010 15:59, Angel Alonso wrote:

Hi,

I have the following piece of code:

n = 3 case n of 3 -> "Something" 4 -> "Something" _ -> "Other"

Is it possible to shorten the case statement into something like this?:

n = 3 case n of 3 or 4 -> "Something" _ -> "Other"

Thanks.
