Merry Christmas! Hope everybody is enjoying the Christmas! I am doing some readings and I found something seems to be interesting. People sometime will try to represent a quantity-regard-only data structure (such a order-regadless List) using functions instead of ta concrete data structure (like the haskell build-in []), any particular reason for this? For example,
data Sex = Male | Female classA :: Sex -> Int classA Male = 100 classA Female = 200
when I should prefer the above solution instead of using a concrete data structure such as [] to represent the classA members? It seems to be very difficult to change the number of Male or Female if a concrete data structure is not used. Is it possible change the number of Male in classA when represent classA using function? Thank you very much! Best wishes, Raeck _________________________________________________________________ It’s the same Hotmail®.
