[Haskell-cafe] type error

[Cetin Sert]

Hi,

Why does this not function?

Prelude> sequence [print 'a', print 2]
'a'
2
[(),()]
*Prelude> let myprint = print*
*Prelude> sequence [myprint 'a', myprint 2]*

<interactive>:1:18:
    Couldn't match expected type `()' against inferred type `Char'
    In the first argument of `myprint', namely 'a'
    In the expression: myprint 'a'
    In the first argument of `sequence', namely
        `[myprint 'a', myprint 2]'

Can providing some type annotations (interactively in ghci or in some .hs
file) help solve the problem?

Best Regards,
CS
