Hi ..
Hope you are doing well . I've just joined this group.
Recently, I am struggling to do some simple experiment with haskell language
about parallelism and wrong answers that we can get while using a shared
variable .
I tried to write a simple program, for example calculationg 'n=n+1' few
times.And then I tried to do it in parallel by using 'par' and 'pseq' . The aim
was to get the wrong answer because we have to share a variable here,and
without using 'MVar' function we will get the wrong answer for the calculation
.I don't know how to write it in parallel in order to get a wrong answer when
we don't use MVar,because we have a shared variable here. I read about MVars as
well,but also I don't know how to combine MVar and Par together to get the
program to work.I wrote this :module Main where
f :: Int -> Int -> Int
f i n = g 1 i n
where g x i n | x <= i = g (x+1) i (n+1)
| otherwise = n
main :: IO ()
main =
do putStrLn "starting..."
let r = f 10 5
putStrLn (show r)
putStrLn "finished"
I want to make to work in parallel by using 'Par'.And also use MVar for this
simple example to work.All of the example about MVar are a little bit
complicated and I couldn't figure it that how can I write one,the same !Can any
one help me with this ? I want a simple example that I can feel the need of
MVar when I run my program in parallel and while I am using a shared
variable.Regards;
Mozhgan
