#14084: Strange behavior of GHC by writing the types in GHCi -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: vanto | Owner: (none) Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: GHCi | Version: 8.0.2 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: Type of failure: Incorrect result | Unknown/Multiple at runtime | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Changes (by vanto): * status: closed => new * resolution: invalid => Comment: Replying to [[span(style=color: #FF0000, AntC )]]:\\ I already know that. But your explanations, here and even above, lack precision and technicality. You should have said:\\ {{{ In Haskell, every expression must have a type, which is calculated prior to evaluating the expression by a process called "type inference". Graham Hutton, page 22, Chap 3, Types and classes. }}} I got the wrong word by writing evaluate instead of calculated. I do not speak the English language well. And sometimes I don't use the right words in my sentences.\\ But you also have to make an effort to understand.\\ Despite my lack of English language I make a lot of effort to read the best books about the Haskell language that are written in English. As you can see I also have other books about the Haskell language written by Hudak, Wadler, Bird.\\ I still get to understand what they are saying.\\ My sentences are sometimes poorly built and give the impression of dealing with a kid. But that is not true. I was already programming computers that you were not born yet.\\ Some of your writings have hurt me. * It is true I do not have the knowledge that you have of the Haskell language.\\ * I no longer have the age to write programs.\\ * Don't talk about my intellect. You don't know him.\\ * And you're the first one to tell me that I'm wasting your time.\\ One more thing:\\ I want this ticket closed by a member of the current Committee. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14084#comment:6 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
