Starting Out Haskell

Starting Out Haskell

1. Haskell is statically typed

2. Infix functions

   • the function is placed in between the arguments
     • succ 8
     • min 9 10
     • max 100 101

3. Suffix functions

   • the function is placed before the arguments
     • 50 * 100
     • 100 - 4999
     • 92 `div` 10

4. IF Statements

   • ELSE is mandatory

5. Every expression and function must return something

   • Expression
     • Piece of code that returns a value
       • 5
       • 4 + 8
       • x + y

6. Definition

   • Function that doesn't take any parameters

7. Lists

   • Strings are lists of characters
   • List Comprehension
     • Build specific sets of general sets
   • Homogeneous data structures

8. Tuples

   • Are the way to store single values
   • They are denoted with parentheses
   • They don't have to be homogenous
