[Haskell-cafe] Problem with Data.Map

Thanks, guys.

Sounds like Lisp packages. Now I see the functionality of the A or B, etc.: Fewer keystrokes.

Hi,

> import Blurp
bring every thing defined in the Blurp module in scope.
So if blah is defined in blurp,
> blah
will work as expected.

> import qualified Blurp as B
does the same thing but everything defined in Blurp should be
qualified (i.e. prefixed) with B.
> B.blah
will work, not
> blah

So your import statement is right but you should write Map.fromList
instead of just fromList.

The goal is to have multiple identical names from different modules
and still be able to use them at the same time, but qualified, for
instance lookup is defined in both Data.List and Data.Map.

> import qualified Data.List as L
> import qualified Data.Map as M
> L.lookup
> M.lookup
The two last lines are unambiguous.

Cheers,
Thu
