[Haskell-beginners] Functions in "where" block.

[Venu Chakravorty]

Hello everyone,
	I can't figure out why the following function does not work:




myFun :: Integer -> Integer
myFun x = op x + ep x
          where op x = 99
		    ep x = 1      -- squawks here



	Yeah it's a stupid function, but I was just trying to declare two functions in the "where" block. I expected
this to work and always return 100.


This is the error I get while compiling:

==================
Prelude> :l fun.hs
[1 of 1] Compiling Main             ( fun.hs, interpreted )


fun.hs:4:15: parse error on input `='
Failed, modules loaded: none.

==================


Could someone please tell me where I am going wrong?
Thanks in advance.



Regards,
Venu Chakravorty.
