[Haskell-cafe] chr/ord?

[michael rice]

Thank guys,

Now what am I misunderstanding in the code below?

I would think that

*Main> comb (Just 65) foo

and

*Main> comb (lookup 'A' lst) foo

would return the same result

Just 'A'


Michael

===========Haskell code=============

import Data.Char

lst = [('A',65),('B',66),('C',67),('D',68)]

-- comb is a combinator for sequencing operations that return Maybe
comb :: Maybe a -> (a -> Maybe b) -> Maybe b
comb Nothing  _ = Nothing
comb (Just x) f = f x

foo :: Int -> Maybe Char
foo n = Just (chr n)

You can also use the more general toEnum and fromEnum.

Michael, those functions are not in the Prelude, they're in Data.Char.

Hi,

My Prelude docs must be out of date because chr and ord don't seem to be there. How do I access these functions?
