Michael, You can define a function without listing some or all of its arguments by specifying it in terms of another function. So all you really need to write is, e.g., car = head cdr = tail cadr = car . cdr caddr = car . cadr cadar = car . cdr . car etc... On Oct 6, 2009, at 7:01 PM, michael rice wrote:
How do I create an alias for a function, like giving CAR the same functionality as HEAD. I know I can do it by creating a definition (see below), but is there a better way, like Scheme's
(define head car)
car :: [a] -> a car x = head x
The reason for doing this is to more closely mirror legacy code.
