In ghci you want to make a multi-line expression: :{ let digs 0 =[0] digs x = (digs (x `div` 10)) ++ [(x `rem` 10)] :} (Note we don't put "let" on the second line) tom

Gah, got here late and missed that this was a response, not the problem description. That's twice now I've put my foot in it. Stupid mailinglists, with no edit buttons... Well at least in both cases I've added SOMETHING useful. :) On Sat, Nov 14, 2015 at 11:42 PM, Theodore Lief Gannon wrote:

GHCi doesn't quite support everything you could put in a source file. To do what you want here, you need to use Haskell's alternative block syntax:

:{ let { digs 0 = [0] ; digs x = (digs (x `div` 10)) ++ [(x `rem` 10)] } :}

...yep, curly braces and semicolons just like C-family. :) It's intended for machine-generated code, but works for this too. And in fact you actually don't need multi-line, this is legal:

let { digs 0 = [0]; digs x = (digs (x `div` 10)) ++ [(x `rem` 10)] }
