Re: [Haskell-cafe] Newbie: Applying Unknown Number Arguments to A Partial Function

You can't do this in Haskell, if you try to type the function carefully, you'll know the reason. Shiqi On 5/18/06, Aditya Siram wrote:

I am trying to write a function 'applyArguments' which takes a function and a list and recursively uses element each in the list as an argument to the function. I want to do this for any function taking any number of arguments.

applyArgument f (arg) = f arg applyArgument f (arg:args) = applyArgument (f arg) args

This has failed in Hugs, so my question is: Can I conceptually do this? If so, what is the type signature of this function?
