Hello All~ I have been reading the book "Haskell for real programmers" and am presently on chapter 03. There was a small program demonstrated by the author on "let". The problem is that when I cut and paste authors code into eclipse, the program works fine, where as when I write my own copy of the program I am getting an error. I figured out that when I remove the function any one function lend or bend, the file compiles and runs fine. My question is why does the Haskell compiler complains, in the case 2 functions with the same signature and logic, even though their names are different. module Lending where {-- snippet lend --} lend amount balance = let reserve = 100 newBalance = balance - amount in if balance < reserve then Nothing else Just newBalance {-- /snippet lend --} bend amount balance = let reserver = 100 newBalance=balance-amount in if balance < reserver then Nothing else Just newBalance Regards -Vivek Ramaswamy- ........................................................................ ........................................................................ ............................................
