Hey Haskell-Cafe,
I was trying out the code in Dons's article [1], and I noticed a
weird thing when doing it in GHCi. When binding the function
composition to a variable, the type suddenly changes. I'm not
completely sure why this happens. Is this because GHCi is in a monad
and wants to find an instance for the type variable? Here's my GHCi
session:
Prelude> :m +Control.Arrow
Prelude Control.Arrow> :m + List
Prelude Control.Arrow List> :t map (length &&& head) . group
map (length &&& head) . group :: (Eq a) => [a] -> [(Int, a)]
Prelude Control.Arrow List> let encode = map (length &&& head) . group
Prelude Control.Arrow List> :t encode
encode :: [Integer] -> [(Int, Integer)]
Thanks,
-chris
