Hi all, I am learning about sections and currying from SOE. There are three functions below. The first is from SOE and the other two are my own practice functions. Why does the third function fail? --Test for negative numbers (from SOE pg 109). This works posInts :: [Integer] -> [Bool] posInts = map (> 0) --Add 1 to a list of numbers. This works. addOne :: [Integer] -> [Integer] addOne = map (+ 1) --Subtract 1 from a list of numbers. This does NOT work. --Fails in Hugs with: -- Instance of Num (Integer -> Integer) required for definition of testSections -- I tried : subOne :: Num a => [a] -> [a] -- and : subOne :: [Float] -> [Float] --in case the problem is with negative numbers. They both fail. --Without any type signature I get: -- Unresolved top level overloading subOne :: [Integer] -> [Integer] subOne = map (- 1) Thanks...
