Dear Hugs Folk, Could someone reply to Bjorn's message below? Cheers, Simon -----Original Message----- From: mailman-bounces(a)haskell.org [mailto:mailman-bounces@haskell.org] On Behalf Of Bjorn Lisper Sent: 22 August 2006 12:44 To: hugs-users-owner(a)haskell.org Subject: [hugs-users-owner(a)haskell.org: Hugs & SOEGraphics] Hi, I sent a mail to hugs-users(a)haskell.org and I got the following automated reply. If this mailing list is indeed closed, then please remove the text at http://cvs.haskell.org/Hugs/pages/downloading.htm which says "To ask a question about using Hugs, please send a message to hugs-users(a)haskell.org". I simply followed the advice there. Please then also advise me how to obtain an answer to my simple question below.

Excerpt from "Yet another Haskell Tutorial"
by aldirithms＠gmx.net 07 Aug '06

07 Aug '06

Hello, (and sorry for the preceding accidental empty message), I'd like to ask a question concerning a following passage in "Yet another Haskell Tutorial" that ushers in the topic of monads: <<After all, suppose you have a function that reads a string from the keyboard. Ifyou call this function twice, and the user types something the first time and something else the second time, then you no longer have a function, since it would return two different values.>> How do I have to interpret this? I cannot make sense of it for I do not see where the definition of a function that I know is violated. I view it that way: The string is just a kind of argument to the string-reading function and that different strings (i.e. different arguments) yield different return values is a commonplace phenomenon with functions, isn't it? How do I have to alter this (over?)simple interpretation to see the point the author wants to make? Thank you very much in advance. Christian -- Echte DSL-Flatrate dauerhaft für 0,- Euro*.

natural numbers

Hello, thanks a lot for the expeditious replies to my trifling question. Here is another one: Can you tell me why the following does not function? I mean the last part for converting number into the new data type. If this is not a quick fix, please ignore it. As an utter beginner, I cannot estimate the significance of my questions. data Nat = Zero | Succ Nat natToInt Zero = 0 natToInt (Succ n) = (natToInt n) + 1 number n = case n of 0 -> Zero _ -> Succ(number(n-1)) Thank you very much. -- "Feel free" – 10 GB Mailbox, 100 FreeSMS/Monat ...

Char.toUpper
by aldirithms＠gmx.net 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Hello, could you answer the following trivial question: WinHugs does neither understand map Char.toUpper "cCcC" nor map toUpper "cCcC" although I read that the latter is the hugs-version for the former, which works fine under GHCi.
