Hi all, I’m trying to do this: data Tree a = Empty | Leaf a | Node (Tree a) a (Tree a) instance Functor Tree where fmap g Empty = Empty fmap g (Leaf x) = Leaf (g x) fmap g (Node t1 x t2) = Node (fmap g t1) (g x) (fmap g t2) instance Foldable Tree where foldMap f Empty = mempty foldMap f (Leaf x) = f x foldMap f (Node l k r) = foldMap f l `mappend` f k `mappend` foldMap f r instance (Monoid (f (Tree a))) => Traversable (Tree (f a)) where sequenceA Empty = pure Empty sequenceA (Leaf f) = Leaf <$> f sequenceA (Node t1 f t2) = (sequenceA t1) `mappend` (Leaf <$> f) `mappend` (sequenceA t2) And I’m being told this: The first argument of ‘Traversable’ should have kind ‘* -> *’, but ‘Tree (f a)’ has kind ‘*’ In the instance declaration for ‘Traversable (Tree (f a))’ And I don’t quite understand what I’m asking for that’s forbidden. Is it that I’m trying to declare that only a certain subset of Trees are Traversable, and that’s not okay? It’s got to be all Trees or no Trees are Traversable? Thanks, -db
