Hi,
I was given a quandary this evening, suppose I have the following code:
module Test1 where
import qualified Data.Map as Map
testFunction :: Ord a => Map.Map a b -> Map.Map a b -> a -> (Maybe b,
Maybe b)
testFunction m0 m1 k = (lookup0 k, lookup1 k)
where
lookup0 x = Map.lookup x m0
lookup1 x = Map.lookup x m1
This compiles and type checks fine. However, the only way I could add type
signatures to lookup0 and lookup1 was to do something along the lines
of this:
testFunction :: Ord a => Map.Map a b -> Map.Map a b -> a -> (Maybe b,
Maybe b)
testFunction m0 m1 k = (lookup0 k m0, lookup1 k m1)
where
lookup0 :: (Monad m, Ord a) => a -> Map.Map a b
-> m b
lookup0 x m0 = Map.lookup x m0
lookup1 :: (Monad m, Ord a) => a -> Map.Map a b
-> m b
lookup1 x m1 = Map.lookup x m1
Is there a way to give lookup0 and lookup1 explicit type signatures
without passing in m0 and m1 as parameters? (So their definitions are the
same as in the first example) If ghc can infer the type, surely it must
be possible?
Regards,
Chris.
