Hi Tom,

thanks for replying, no, I'm not looking for streams.

I hope I made myself a bit more clear in my response to Jake.

Are you looking for something like Streams [1]?

They're infinite sequences, defined like this:

data Stream a = Cons a (Stream a)

They can obviously never be empty (unless you see bottom (undefined) as empty).

Hi,

I need to design a container data structure that by design cannot be empty
and can hold n elements. Something like a non-empty list.


I started with:

data Container a = Single a | Many a [a]

but the problem above is that the data structure would allow to construct a
Many 5 [] :: Container Int.

I can't figure out how to get this right. :(

Please help.

Günther
