If he really wanted to use a case-expression, he could write it this way:

Can a kind soul please enlighten me on why f bit0 and f bit1 both return 0?
bit0 = False bit1 = True f x = case x of bit0 -> 0 bit1 -> 1
If you compile with 'ghc -Wall' GHC should report that the identifier 'bit0' in the case expression shadows the global 'bit0' identifier. What you want to do is:
f x = if x == bit0 then 0 else 1
