[Haskell-beginners] Error Message when trying to solve alphametic(SEND + MORE = MONEY)

[Sok Ha Chang]

Thank you to kind help. 
From now on, I will follow your way. 
Have a nice day. 
Thanks, again. 

Sincerely, S. Chang

> The error message is rather cryptic -- ghc seems to assume that "=" must be intended as a function, since it it has other values (potential arguments) to the right of it. I usually don't spend much time trying to figure out ghc error messages unless I really can't solve the problem by just looking over the offending line carefully. Very often it's just a typo (as it seems to be in your case).
