Hi, I'm trying to process on a tree with this function : f (Branch x (Branch y y1 y2) (Branch z z1 z2)) = (x,y,y1,y2,z,z1,z2) and my tree declaration is this : data Tree = Empty | Branch Integer Tree Tree deriving (Show) And I'm getting this error : Main> f (Branch 12 (Branch 15 Empty Empty) (Branch 28 Empty Empty)) ERROR - Cannot find "show" function for: *** Expression : f (Branch 12 (Branch 15 Empty Empty) (Branch 28 Empty Empty)) *** Of type : (Integer,Integer,Tree,Tree,Integer,Tree,Tree) I'll be happy if you help me to get rid of this error..

Hi again, What interpreter do you use? With ghci, I don't get any errors. *Main> f (Branch 12 (Branch 15 Empty Empty) (Branch 28 Empty Empty)) (12,15,Empty,Empty,28,Empty,Empty) On 11 March 2012 19:10, bahadýr altan wrote:

and my tree declaration is this :

Hi, Me neither, no error on GHCi 7.4.1 on ArchLinux.

I use Hugs.

That's ... unfortunate. Use smaller tuples, then; I believe 6 is the limit for its Show and Read instances. Or define your own result ADT and derive a Show instance for it. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms

Is 6 actually a limit, or is that just what is already defined? Could a new Show instance for 7-tuples be defined? On Mon, Mar 12, 2012 at 9:20 AM, Brandon Allbery wrote:

It can be defined, it's just a pain in the butt. GHC predefines Show for up to something like 15-tuples, I think. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms

Hello, Dit you try to derive it automatically, by adding 'deriving (Show)' after its declaration? Otherwise you need to define it manually I'm afraid. -- Adrien Haxaire www.adrienhaxaire.org | @adrienhaxaire

Hugs apparently doesn't have a Show instance for 7-tuples. Note that Hugs is quite old and not very well supported at this point; you should probably be using ghc / ghci instead. -- brandon s allbery allbery.b@gmail.com wandering unix systems administrator (available) (412) 475-9364 vm/sms
