[Haskell-cafe] Can type be changed along a >>= chain?

[michael rice]

Dumb! I just figured out I was entering the input string in quotes.

So, I suppose the answer to my question is yes, type CAN be changed along a >>= chain. I was having trouble doing it in a different problem, created this small example to illustrate the problem, and then screwed it up putting quotes around my input string.

Thanks!

Michael

         >>= \str -> return (read str :: Int)
         >>= \i -> putStrLn $ "The number is " ++ show i

This code works perfectly for me. What problem are you seeing specifically?
