I think this is what you mean. If not, then please advice. This is typed into a vanilla ghci prompt, no extra modules loaded or flags switched on. There is no smoke and mirrors at work ;-) (The ':: Int' constrains the type of b, and therefore all the other numbers, but doesn't affect the function application.) > Prelude> let add' a b = a + b :: Int > Prelude> let f = add' 1 > Prelude> f 2 > 3 Is this what you wanted? Perhaps you tried this but mistyped something?
