[Haskell-cafe] Haskell arrays

Example 7 (and others)

Input: array ('a','c') [('a',"AAA"),('b',"BBB"),('c',"CCC")] ! 'b'

Output: "BBB"


Maybe it's just the notation that makes it LOOK like the indices are also getting stored?

It doesn't store both, but does provides a flexible indexing strategy (that allows indices to be non-trivial values). What docs suggest that it stores both?

Based upon docs I've looked at, Haskell seems to store both an array element value AND its index/indices, whereas most languages just store the value and find its location in memory through mapping calculations.


Is it true?
