[Haskell-beginners] error: Not in scope: data constructor `BinTree'

[Kak Dod]

I wants to create things that way only, 

yes, later I may add another constructor like "Leaf a" 
sorry for the confusion in my question .

now i comes to know that all I wants to know was syntax of how to write "Node BinTree a" instead of  "Node a BinTree a" and there was many horrorful error messages like: Expected kind `?', but `BinTree' has kind `k0 -> *'
that why i have panic that time
i was not seen that error earlier

thank you for answer

If you don't include "Node a" then there isn't any point in having the a parameter on BinTree as it's never used unless you add another constructor that uses it. I based the modification on the usage in your example where you're trying to store a value of 3. Without that parameter the code becomes:
b1 = Node EmptyBinTree EmptyBinTree
I haven't tried it, but that will also likely complain it can't deduce "a" from the usage.

Thanks Tom. this is what i wanted
