[Haskell-cafe] How to solve this problem?It's quite easy in PHP.

[Neil Mitchell]

Hi

Eeek, a solution that does monadic maps and require's rank 2 types!

arr = [('a',1), ('b',2), ('c',3)]
showAll = lines (map showItem arr)
showItem (a,n) = a : " = " ++ show n
main = putStr showAll

I've broken this up a bit more than usual - most people would probably
just put showAll inside main, but this separates out the concepts. arr
is the data, which you could construct with a zip if that really is
all there is to it. showItem shows a single item, showAll shows them
all, and main just prints out the information.

And this solution is Haskell 98, anything that uses printf is Haskell' only.

Thanks

Neil
