Re: Difference Argument Order

G'day all. Quoting Ashley Yakeley :

Which of these argument orders is more intuitive to you?

This one:

2. This one is more familiar for the English language and for the standard operators:

add :: Absolute -> Diff -> Absolute add a d = a + d subtract :: Absolute -> Diff -> Absolute subtract a d = a - d diff :: Absolute -> Absolute -> Diff diff a b = a - b

But even better would be if you could do both, and not distinguish between subtract and diff: class Add a b c | a b -> c where add :: a -> b -> c class Subtract a b c | a b -> c where subtract :: a -> b -> c ...you get the idea. Cheers, Andrew Bromage
