[Haskell-cafe] Query regarding Type classes

[Arun Suresh]

Hello folks,

Im kinda new to haskell. Ive only been fiddling around with it for bout 3 -
4 weeks now.
And for the life of me... i cant seem to figure out why this doesnt work :


class Foo a where
    fooFunc :: a -> Int

data FooData = FData

instance Foo FooData where
    fooFunc _ = 10



class Bar a where
    barFunc :: (Foo b) => a -> b -> Int

data BarData = BData

instance Bar BarData where
    barFunc _ FData = 20



When I compile I get this :
 Couldn't match expected type `b' against inferred type `FooData'
      `b' is a rigid type variable bound by
          the type signature for `barFunc' at Sample.hs:16:20
    In the pattern: FData
    In the definition of `barFunc': barFunc _ FData = 20
    In the definition for method `barFunc'


Think Im missing something really big...
Could somebody kindly help me out here...



Regards
Arun
