Haskell type signature with multiple class constra

2020-06-07 03:39发布

问题:

How can I have multiple class constraints, so if A is an Eq and B is a Num, I could say either

f :: Eq a => a -> b`

or

f :: Num b => a -> b

So, how can I have Eq a => and Num b => at the same time?

  • f :: Eq a => Num b => a -> b,
  • f :: Eq a -> Num b => a -> b, and
  • f :: Eq a, Num b => a -> b

didn't do what I wanted.

回答1:

They're usually called class constraints, as Eq and Num are called type-classes.

How about this?

f :: (Eq a, Num b) => a -> b

The parentheses are significant.
