[Haskell-cafe] Indentation Question.

[Ramaswamy, Vivek]

Hello All~

I have been reading the book "Haskell for real programmers" and am
presently on chapter 03.

There was a small program demonstrated by the author on "let". The
problem is that when I cut and paste authors code into eclipse, the
program works fine, where as when I write my own copy of the program I
am getting an error. I figured out that when I remove the function any
one function lend or bend, the file compiles and runs fine. 
My question is why does the Haskell compiler complains, in the case 2
functions with the same signature and logic, even though their names are
different. 

module Lending where

{-- snippet lend --}
lend amount balance = let reserve    = 100
                          newBalance = balance - amount
                      in if balance < reserve
                         then Nothing
                         else Just newBalance
{-- /snippet lend --}
bend amount balance = let reserver = 100
				  newBalance=balance-amount
			    in if balance < reserver
				 then Nothing
				 else Just newBalance
