[Haskell-cafe] Evaluating arithmetic expressions at run time

Haskell beginner using GHC. I have a function to do some simple arithmetic at run time: myeval :: Int -> Int -> String -> Int myeval x y "+" = (+) x y myeval x y "-" = (-) x y myeval x y "*" = (*) x y -- ... While that works, I'm curious to know if it can be done more elegantly. I'm thinking of something like: myeval :: Int -> Int -> String -> Int myeval x y op = (read op) x y Thanks, /-\ ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
