Re: [Haskell-cafe] "shadowing" keywords like "otherwise"

first, otherwise aka True is used in *condition* part of case statement. here you should use _ second, otherwise isn't a keyword, just a Prelude definition. here, you assign fmt value to this identifier -- Best regards, Bulat mailto:Bulat.Ziganshin@gmail.com
