Re: [Haskell-cafe] How do you make constant expressions?

Correction to my last e-mail. I figured out why it worked at first and then failed, so I'll refine my question. I'd like the compiler to simply put the number 800 everywhere that I put the name "width" in my code. Instead it's putting (800 :: Float), or Double or Int, whatever I want, but it's restricted to one data type. I want to remove that restriction since it is a constant.

It _might_ work by having an explicit type signature for it: width :: (Num a) => a width = 800 But I think it will get defaulted to something. -- Ivan Lazar Miljenovic Ivan.Miljenovic@gmail.com IvanMiljenovic.wordpress.com
