Hi, i am getting an error when trying to compile this part of my program, its my first time using haskell and as lovely as it is it didn't give me very much to go on in the error message!
<code>score :: String -> String -> String score [s] [] = false score [s] [g] = if valid 4 g then (s1 ++ s2 ++ s3 ++ s4) where s1 = "Golds " s2 = show (gold s g) s3 = ", Silvers " s4 = show (silver s g) else "Bad Guess"</code>
when i try to compile it says: test.hs 63:29: parse error on input 'where' (its the line beginning with 'then') Anybody got any ideas whats going on? thanks! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/First-time-haskell---parse-error%21-tp27839657p2783965...

You can't use `where' in the middle of an `if'. This should get rid of the parse error: score :: String -> String -> String score [s] [] = false score [s] [g] = if valid 4 g then (s1 ++ s2 ++ s3 ++ s4) else "Bad Guess" where s1 = "Golds " s2 = show (gold s g) s3 = ", Silvers " s4 = show (silver s g) -- Deniz Dogan
