Hello,

I am new to Haskell(GHC). When i try to call the function ord which is in Data.Char from Prelude prompt. I get the following error. Not in scope ord. Hope to hear from someone soon.

From your comments, I assume you're using ghci. You can use the ":module" command to bring more modules into scope. For example ":module +Data.Char" will bring the "Data.Char" module into scope. $ ghci ___ ___ _ / _ \ /\ /\/ __(_) / /_\// /_/ / / | | GHC Interactive, version 6.4.1, for Haskell 98. / /_\\/ __ / /___| | http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ \____/\/ /_/\____/|_| Type :? for help.
