[Haskell-beginners] Data type

[Shishir Srivastava]

Hi Brandon,

Thanks for your response. My example was just a bad turnout which I
conjured up using tutorials and playing with it.

I was going to follow up my question with the possible practical use of why
and where someone would use such a construct to wrap a function inside a
new data-type.

For all that matters I could have used 'length' function directly to get
the same output.

I appreciate that you already have given the practical example but anything
more basic for beginners to highlight the usage would be helpful.

Thanks,
Shishir
