That was a hint, not definitive. > Using 'let' is not a matter of being confronted with a different > language, but a matter of defining a function interactively. But ok, I > advice you to read about 'ghci' being part of the package GHC > (containing the compiler ghc and the interpreter ghci): The issue I am trying to raise is that you cannot use the same language for compiled programs that you can use for interactive programs. I am not sure if you are trying to claim that these languages are equivalent, or if you simply are not aware that that is what I am saying or if something else is going on. They do have a sub-language in common, but that common sub-language only admits single line statements which are not declarations. Meanwhile, sharing an implementation does not make languages equivalent. Otherwise C and C++ would be the same language. -- Raul ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
