Use the 'sortBy' and 'group' functions from Data.List. The rest is quite easy.
Or you might use a Data.Map (degree => coefficient), particularly the
fromListWith function.

So I defined a type called term which is a coefficient and degree of x. int a int b. I want to write a method/methods in haskell to sort them and combine ones with same degree. I think I need to combine somehow, and then use sortby method? I'm just learning haskell, but I now java and c# pretty well and I'm having a hard term converting to functional thinking. its of type [(Int a Int b)] and if b1< b2 put tuple 1 before tuple2, else if = combine by adding a1 to a2, else place 2 before 1. I know how to do it logically, just not the syntax I guess. Thanks so much guys! -- View this message in context: http://old.nabble.com/sorting-and-merging-in-haskell-tp27222668p27222668.htm...
