Effective Haskell: ch 2 > destructuring lists
- 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 =

I sort of understand the err msg but I add this info here so you can see that this can happen to a reader.
-
Did I post this information under the correct category. Is “errata” correct or should I have chose something else?
-
The book is great! I’m chugging along and it feels really good.
First Post!
