Unfortunately, I get puzzling type errors if I annotate either one of them with their type (e.g. (Applicative f) => f (a -> b) -> f a -> f (Int, b) ) in an expression. The very answer doesn't seem to typecheck.
:t \f x -> fmap ((,) (0::Int)) (f <*> x) :: (Applicative f) => f (a1 -> a) -> f a1 -> f (Int, a)
Here the type annotation applies to the *body* of the lambda abstraction, adding parentheses around the whole thing solve your problem.
:t (\f x -> fmap ((,) (0::Int)) (f <*> x)) :: (Applicative f) => f (a1 -> a) -> f a1 -> f (Int, a)
Aside from the fact that ghci has some trouble formating the output.
thank you, oops, how annoying. I wonder if GHCi should output parentheses to make its :type result be a valid expression... Isaac
