I'm running GHC version 7.8.3 on Windows 7. Ok, this is not about fancy code snippets. I'm just trying not be a noob here and actually compile something in a way that vaguely resembles the structure of side-effect languages. I have the following code: main = do { let x...

So, been going over some old exams in preparation for my upcoming one and came across this question: Write Haskell code to define ints :: [Int] an infinite list of the following form: [0, 1, -1, 2, -2, 3, -3, 4, -4..] I've been plugging at it for the past...

I have been attempting to debug a problem when using multiple MVars, however to no luck. My code uses two MVars: one to store the servers current state, and another to pass network events to and from the client threads. However after connecting and disconnecting several times, the server stops...

I have been reading this StackOverflow post in which we are advised to use the haskellng package set. I have also read this but I did not understand what haskellng is. I have read this too, but I still don't know what haskellng is. Could someone please explain what haskellng...

haskell,containers,sequence
Data.Sequence has takeWhileR and dropWhileR for efficient deconstruction of Seqs from the right. However, takeR, dropR and splitAtR are conspicuously absent. take and drop are implemented in terms of splitAt. So, do finger trees not admit an efficient splitAtR or was this functionality not included for some other reason? (Separate...

In Haskell, I recently found the following function useful: listCase :: (a -> [a] -> b) -> [a] -> [b] listCase f [] = [] listCase f (x:xs) = f x xs : listCase f xs I used it to generate sliding windows of size 3 from a list, like...
function,haskell,infix-notation
Is it possible with Haskell to have an operator (infix function) working with a missing argument ? (rather like - meaning a subtraction or a negative sign) For example, I have this operator : data1 <*> data2 Is it possible to make it work with a default value if first...

According to the doc on Hackage, Data.Time.Format exposed defaultTimeLocal. However, when I try to use it, it doesn't exits. When I look at the code, it doesn't seems to be exposed either (if I generate the doc from the source, I don't see this defaultTimeLocale). Is it because it needs...

In the following code, the function disp is defined by de-constructing Sum b c and then immediately reconstructing it. The problem is that I don't need b and c, only the fact that it is of type Sum. data Expr = Name String | Sum Expr Expr deriving(Show) disp (Sum...

I have been looking at how transactional memory is implemented in Haskell, and I am not sure I understand how the STM operations exposed to the programmer hook into the runtime system functions written in C.

In Haskell, I'd like to generate a random list of Ints and use it throughout my program. My current solution causes the array to be created randomly each time I access/use it. How can I overcome this problem?...

I would like to "interact" with Cabal during the test phase (like exitcode-stdio-1.0) using the relative API (https://www.haskell.org/cabal/release/cabal-latest/doc/API/Cabal/Distribution-Simple-Test-ExeV10.html) to customise for example the final output. How can I do that? I cannot find the right documentation.

While working through Richard Bird's Thinking Functionally With Haskell, I came across a demonstration of Haskell's type system that I find puzzling (p. 44): [ [], [[]], [[[]]] ] :: [[[[a]]]] To explain, let the main list have type [b]. The first element is a list, so b=[c]. The second...
