The trick is that Int is not the only index data type, but tuples of
index data types are, too.  Do this:

Surely you meant to say

| type TypeV = Array Point Double


True, I did make that mistake.

Cheers,
Ben
And

type Value = Double
newtype PointNat = PointNat Int deriving (...Ix)
type Point = (State,State,PointNat)

Or even

type TypeVof a = Array PointNat a
type TypeV = TypeVof Value

I did not even run the code I wrote through ghci, I was just showing what
it could look like.

And stop calling me Shirley.

Dear Chris,

Could you please be a bit more explicit? Have I offended anyone? Or else,
how do I have to understand this comment other than as a rebuke? And how
comes you answer this as if you were the one who posted the code, and not a
person named Matthias Fischmann?

Sorry for the misunderstanding.  No one has been offended or given offense.

The Surely/Shirley is a reference to the classic 1980 motion picture "Airplane!" in which the humor includes a repeated motif [1]:

Rumack: Mr. Striker, the passengers are getting worse. You must land soon.
Ted Striker: Surely there must be something you can do.
Rumack: I'm doing everything I can... and stop calling me Shirley.

Ted Striker: Surely you can't be serious.
Rumack: I am serious... and don't call me Shirley.



Please note that English is not my native tongue so there is always the
possibility that I misunderstood something, or that I express myself badly
and so cause misunderstandings. Is the expression "Surely you meant to say
<whatever>" perceived as offending or arrogant, perhaps? In this case I
would gladly apologize and assure everyone that this was not intended!


Nothing was offensive or arrogant.I just saw it as an opportunity to reference the joke.

I posted this correction only in order to avoid confusion for the OP, who
described himself as a beginner with regard to Haskell. I didn't mean to be
nitpicking or anything like that. If I have made a mistake, either
technically or by chosing the wrong words, then please tell me so.

Your answer to my other posting today is of a similar nature, i.e.
completely obscure to me, and totally disregarding the essence of my
question. If there is something personal involved here (for which I can't
imagine any reason other than the above mentioned one) maybe it would be
better to clearly say so (and sort this out in private and not on this
list).

I am sorry my other posting was off topic. Sometimes I contribute what occurs to me instead of what is relevant.

Cheers,
  Chris
