Hi everybody,
I have written some code for several shapes, and i get a compiling error:
parse error on input `:'
though I can't find where the error is...
data Shape = Ellipse Radius Radius
| Polygon [Vertex]
deriving Show
type Radius = Float
type Vertex = (Float, Float)
area :: Shape -> Float
area (Rectangle s1 s2) = s1 * s2
area (RtTriangle s1 s1) = s1 *s2 /2
area (Ellipse r1 r2) = pi * r1 * r2
area (Polygon(v1:v2:v3:vs))
= triArea v1 v2 v3 + area(Polygon(v1:v3:vs))
area(Polygon _ )
= 0
area (Polygon(v1:vs')) = polyArea vs
where polyArea :: [Vertex] -> Float
polyArea(v2:v3:vs') = triArea v1 v2 v3
+
polyArea(v3:vs')
polyArea _ = 0
triArea :: Vertex -> Vertex -> Vertex -> Float
triArea v1 v2 v3 = let a = distBeetween v1 v2
b = distBeetween v2 v3
c = distBeetween v3 v1
s = 0.5 * (a + b + c)
in sqrt (s * (s - a) * (s - b) * (s -
c))
distBeetween :: Vertex -> Vertex -> Float
distBeetween (x1, y1) (x2, y2)
= sqrt ((x1 - x2) ^ 2 + (y1 - y2) ^ 2)
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Skag55
