Pakages

  • module — a collection of functions and custom data types

  • package — a collection of modules + metadata

  • Hackage — a central repository of Haskell packages

  • base — standard Haskell library

  • Prelude — the module from base imported by default

  • import Data.List

Control Flow

  • if then else
    • price = if product == "milk" then 1 else 2
  • guards
  • case of
describe :: Integer -> String
describe n = case n of 0 -> "zero"
                       1 -> "one"
                       2 -> "an even prime"
                       n -> "the number " ++ show n
					   
-- parse country code into country name, returns Nothing if code not recognized
parseCountry :: String -> Maybe String
parseCountry "FI" = Just "Finland"
parseCountry "SE" = Just "Sweden"
parseCountry _ = Nothing
 
flyTo :: String -> String
flyTo countryCode = case parseCountry countryCode of Just country -> "You're flying to " ++ country
                                                     Nothing -> "You're not flying anywhere"
