|

{- Usually (from now on), we will try to adhere to the

following convention/structure for multiline comments:

-- Simple declarations

|
{- Declaring a variable
|
|
Generally, in Haskell we define the type of a variable
|
|
in a separate line before we define the variable.
|
|
-}
|
|
|
|
-- 'five' is the integer 5
|
|
five :: Integer
|
|
five = 5
|
|
|
|
{-
|
|
'six' is the integer 6. The type 'Integer' can
|
|
accomodate integers of arbitrary size
|
|
-}
|
|
six :: Integer
|
|
six = 6
|
|
|
|
-- 'four' is the float 4.0
|
|
four :: Float
|
|
four = 4
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
---- Numeric operations
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
seven :: Integer
|
|
seven = five + 2
|
|
|
|
theIntEight :: Integer
|
|
theIntEight = 3 + five
|
|
|
|
theFloatSeven :: Float
|
|
theFloatSeven = 3 + four
|
|
|
|
twentyFour :: Float
|
|
twentyFour = 3 * 2 ^ 3
|
|
|
|
{- Integer division
|
|
'div' denotes integer division. Generally, it is
|
|
possible to write a function between '`' to use infix
|
|
notation. I order to define functions that are
|
|
"natively" infix, you would use brackets '(...)' when
|
|
defining the function/operator.
|
|
-}
|
|
intSevenByThree :: Integer
|
|
intSevenByThree = seven `div` 3
|
|
|
|
{- Division
|
|
The "normal" division '/' is for "fractional numbers,
|
|
e.g. floats.
|
|
-}
|
|
floatSevenByThree :: Float
|
|
floatSevenByThree = 7 / 3
|
|
|
|
{- Exercise
|
|
Fill out the types, check your solutions with the REPL.
|
|
|
|
x :: Integer
|
|
x = 2 ^ 3
|
|
|
|
y :: Float
|
|
y = 2.0 ^ 3
|
|
|
|
a :: Integer
|
|
a = x + 5
|
|
|
|
b :: Float
|
|
b = y/2
|
|
|
|
c :: Does not work
|
|
c = y `div` 3

-----------------------------------------------------------

|
---- Booleans and boolean operations
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
true :: Bool
|
|
true = True
|
|
|
|
false :: Bool
|
|
false = False
|
|
|
|
alsoTrue :: Bool
|
|
alsoTrue = true || false
|
|
|
|
alsoFalse :: Bool
|
|
alsoFalse = true && false
|
|
|
|
moreTruth :: Bool
|
|
moreTruth = not alsoFalse
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
---- Strings and chars
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
aChar :: Char
|
|
aChar = 'a'
|
|
|
|
aString :: String
|
|
aString = "Happy new year"
|
|
|
|
greeting :: String
|
|
greeting = aString ++ " " ++ "2022"
|
|
|
|
greeting2 :: String
|
|
greeting2 = concat
|
|
[ aString
|
|
, " "
|
|
, "2022"
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{- Warning
|
|
The operators are strongly typed; they can only digest
|
|
values of the same type. The following declarations are
|
|
thus rejected by the type checker:
|
|
|
|
aString = "Happy new year"
|
|
greeting = aString ++ " " ++ 2022
|
|
|
|
five :: Int
|
|
five = 5
|
|
seven = five + 2.0

|
---- Lists
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
{-
|
|
We will often use `List` (linked lists), a generic
|
|
container to hold multiple values of *the same type*.

|

|
aListOfStrings :: [String]
|
|
aListOfStrings = [ "one", "two", "three" ]

|
, ["Christoph", "Mara", "Andrew"]
|
|
]
|
|
-}
|
|
|
|
{- List comprehension
|
|
Aside from declaring lists explicitly by writing down
|
|
their element (as shown before), lists can also be
|
|
declared by "list comprehension" and also as "ranges".
