I am doing a number guessing game in Haskell and I have 3 difficulties.
I made a menu where the user selects what difficulty but once I implemented it, it started giving me an error and I can't figure out what it is.
The error:
finalename.hs:5:10:
Parse error in pattern: putStrLn
Possibly caused by a missing 'do'?
Also how would I go about implementing a count where it counts how many times it takes for the user to guess?
import System.Random (randomRIO)
main :: IO ()
main = do
putStrLn "Do you want to play 1) Easy, 2) Medium or 3) Hard"
putStrLn "Select your difficulty by entering a number 1, 2 or 3"
choice <- readLn
| choice == 1 = "You selected easy" >> easy
| choice == 2 = "You selected medium" >> medium
| choice == 3 = "You selected hard" >> hard
| otherwiose = "You did not selected a valid choice" >> main
easy :: IO ()
easy = do
putStrLn "Guess a number between 1 and 13: "
rNumber <- randomRIO (1, 10) :: IO Int
loop rNumber
medium :: IO ()
medium = do
putStrLn "Guess a number between 1 and 25: "
rNumber <- randomRIO (1, 25) :: IO Int
loop rNumber
hard :: IO ()
hard = do
putStrLn "Guess a number between 1 and 50: "
rNumber <- randomRIO (1, 50) :: IO Int
loop rNumber
loop :: Int -> IO ()
loop rNumber = do
userInput <- readLn
case compare rNumber userInput of
EQ -> putStrLn "Correct!" >> main
LT -> putStrLn "Guess is too low, try again please" >> loop rNumber
GT -> putStrLn "Guess is too high, try again please" >> loop rNumber
