[Haskell-cafe] type Rational and the % operator

[michael rice]

That fixed the problem with recognizing the % operator, but what's it trying to tell me now?

Michael

============

import Data.Ratio
cf :: [Integer] -> Rational
cf (x:xs) = (toRational x) + (1 % (cf xs))
cf (x:[]) = toRational x
cf [] = toRational 0

Data.Ratio> :load cf.hs
ERROR "cf.hs":3 - Type error in application
*** Expression     : toRational x + 1 % cf xs
*** Term           : toRational x
*** Type           : Ratio Integer
*** Does not match : Ratio (Ratio Integer)

I believe it's
import Data.Ratio
I found it on hayoo... http://holumbus.fh-wedel.de/hayoo/hayoo.html?query=%25#0:%25

Hi,
I've been away from Haskell Land for a while, but I think the function cf below, given a list of Ints should calculate a continuous fraction. I'm using Hugs 98 and get errors when loading and also when trying to use the % operator at the command prompt (see below). What must I do to get this to work?

===============

cf :: [Int] -> Rational
cf [] = 0
 cf (x:[]) = 1 % x
 cf (x:xs) = x + (1 % cf xs)

Hugs> :load cf.hs
ERROR "cf.hs":2 - Undefined variable "%"
Hugs> 

Hugs> 1 % 5
ERROR - Undefined variable "%"
Hugs>
