[Haskell-cafe] newbie question how to pass data

[Dan Weston]

First of all, your function
func  (x,y) s dg  =((x*(cos dg) - y*(sin dg)),(x*(sin dg) - y*(cos dg)))
does NOT work for type (Float -> Float), unless you mean that that is 
the type of the unused parameter s. Also, your desired type ((Float -> 
Float) -> Bool) itself looks suspicious. It must accept any function 
(without something to apply it to) and arbitrarily return True or False. 
How will you decide which? I suspect you need another parameter for this 
function.

Second, on the off chance you are trying to calculate the position on a 
circle scaled then rotated an angle dg from (x,y), that new position is

f (x,y) s dg = (s*(x*(cos dg) - y*(sin dg)),s*(x*(sin dg) + y*(cos dg)))

in which case you are missing the s and the last minus sign in your 
formula should be a plus sign.
If so, this can be evaluated with greater clarity (and probably 
accuracy) in polar coordinates:

g (x,y) s dg = (r * cos a, r * sin a)
   where r  = s * sqrt (x^2 + y^2)
            a  = atan2 y x + dg

Third, if you did not need the scale, I would use an underscore to make 
that clear:

h (x,y) _ dg = (r * cos a, r * sin a)
   where r  = sqrt (x^2 + y^2)
            a  = atan2 y x + dg

That's all the observations I can make unless you describe the problem 
more clearly. Sorry.
