Effective Haskell: ch 2 > destructuring lists

  1. The function I am testing is handleNums on page 68.

It returns this error message:

    λ: :reload
    [1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( Chapter2.hs, interpreted )

    Chapter2.hs:306:1: error:
        • Non type-variable argument
            in the constraint: Show ((a -> Bool) -> Bool)
          (Use FlexibleContexts to permit this)
        • When checking the inferred type
            handleNums :: forall a.
                          (Integral a, Show ((a -> Bool) -> Bool), Num ((a -> Bool) -> Bool),
                           Eq ((a -> Bool) -> Bool)) =>
                          [(a -> Bool) -> Bool] -> [Char]
        |
    306 | handleNums l =
        | ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^...
    Failed, no modules loaded.
  1. I sort of understand the err msg but I add this info here so you can see that this can happen to a reader.

  2. Did I post this information under the correct category. Is “errata” correct or should I have chose something else?

  3. The book is great! I’m chugging along and it feels really good.

First Post!

Hi! Can you share the code that you are trying to load. I can’t reproduce this error from the example locally.
