Title: Effective Haskell (Page 31)
At the bottom of page 31 when let is added to the example greeting I cannot get the example to work. I’ve tried rechecking spacing inside the example, made sure I copied the example correctly and put in hours trying to get the example to work. I get different errors every time I try to run it in ghci.

Hey, sorry you’re having a problem! Here’s a working version of the example you can copy and paste:
module Main where
makeGreeting salutation person =
let messageWithTrailingSpace = salutation <> " "
in messageWithTrailingSpace <> person
extendedGreeting person =
let hello = makeGreeting "Hello" person
goodDay = makeGreeting "I hope you have a nice afternoon" person
goodBye = makeGreeting "see you later" person
in hello <> "\n" <> goodDay <> "\n" <> goodBye
main = print $ extendedGreeting "George"
If you can paste your code and the output of the errors I’d be happy to help you spot what’s going on!
