[Haskell-cafe] (twice head) (twice tail)

Over on comp.lang.functional ( http://xrl.us/s6kv ), Toby Kelsey is wondering about writing a function twice that applies a function to an argument two times... twice' :: (a - a) - a - a twice' f x = f (f x) ...that works for things like twice succ 0 and twice tail [1,2,3], but the type

[Haskell-cafe] Section Syntax Errors

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

Re: [Haskell-cafe] Section Syntax Errors

Hi Deech, Trying some things in Hugs: Hugs :t (+1) flip (+) 1 :: Num a = a - a Hugs :t (0) flip () 0 :: (Num a, Ord a) = a - Bool Hugs :t (-1) -1 :: Num a = a If you see, Haskell interprets the first two as sections, but the last one is treated as a unary minus, inside brackets - i.e. as
