The problem there is if you add a new color before "RED". I'd do: data Color = RED | BLUE | YELLOW deriving (Show, Enum, Bounded) allColors :: [Color] allColors = [minBound..maxBound] tom

I have to remeber that if I add a Color, I have to add the color in allColors too.

Is there no better way to add all possible colors in allColors?

Yes, if you make Color instance of Enum. E.g.:

data Color = RED | BLUE | YELLOW deriving (Show, Enum) allColors = enumFrom RED _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://mail.haskell.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/beginners
