BASICS functionName::inputType1[->inputTypeN]- Using lists

>outputType An empty list is designed by []
Comments Declare function with pattern matching (sample) In (h:q), h stands for the first element of the list, and q
All comments start with two hyphens intToChar 1 = "One"
-- This is a comment in the code for the rest. With (f:s:t:q), you can directly gets
intToChar 2 = "Two"
the first (f), second (s) and third (t) element of the
Data Types Declare function with guards
list.

λ
Haskell uses various data types, all of them starts by a intToChar x
You can add the element e to the list l with e:l
capital letter: | x==1 = "One"
Int: Integer number with fixed precision | x==2 = "Two"
Predefined operations
Integer: Integer number with virtually no limits
Type redefinition Append two lists list1++list2
Float: Floating number
Type NewTypeName = TypeValue Return element n list!!n
Bool: Boolean. Takes two values: True or False.
Sample : Type String = [Char] Get the first/last element head/last list
Char: Character. Any character in the code is
Get the sum of all list elements sum list
placed between quotes (').
LISTS Get the product of all list elements product list
String: Strings (In fact, a list of Chars).
Tuples
Tuples are designed to group data (multiple types USE HASKELL
Conditionals
Identity: ==, non identity /= allowed). Interpreter
Comparatives (type must be a subclass of Ord) : (El1,El2,[Elx…]) Hugs : Available for Windows, Linux, FreeBSD and
>, >=, <, <= Sample: ("James",41,1.85) MacOs X. http://www.haskell.org/hugs/
if conditional then truePart else falsePart
Basic list creation Compiler
Scripts types Lists are between [], elements are separated by GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) : Available for
Classic (.hs) the code is more important comma. Windows, Linux.
Litterals (.lhs) lines with code starts with >, lines with Sample : [1,2,3,4,5] [“John”,“Paul”,“Andy”] http://www.haskell.org/ghc/download.html
comments don’t start by two hyphens. You can create lists by populate them with a range:
[1..5]=[1,2,3,4,5] [1..]=[1,2,3,4,5,6,… Editors
