Hi Daniel, Thanks for the IO monad reminder. What is GHC.Int.Int32? Can't find it on Hoogle. Michael ================== *Main> ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable <interactive>:1:15: Couldn't match expected type `GHC.Int.Int32' against inferred type `Int' In the second argument of `new', namely `dummy' In a stmt of a 'do' expression: ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable *Main> :t dummy dummy :: String -> Int *Main> --- On Tue, 11/17/09, Daniel Fischer <daniel.is.fischer@web.de> wrote: From: Daniel Fischer <daniel.is.fischer@web.de> Subject: Re: [Haskell-cafe] Simple hash table creation To: haskell-cafe@haskell.org Date: Tuesday, November 17, 2009, 2:45 PM Am Dienstag 17 November 2009 20:36:46 schrieb Daniel Fischer:
What you probably wanted was
type MyHashTable = HashTable String Int -- not data MyHashTable
Just in case it's not clear:
ht <- new (==) dummy :: IO MyHashTable
only works at the prompt or in an IO do-block, not at the top level of the module.
then ht is a hashtable of type MyHashTable.
