TLDR : Folding — foldr/foldl (foldRight and foldLeft) Folding is a pretty nice operation. Basically, it runs through each element in the list and applies a desired function to it. So what’s the difference between map and foldr? Map treats each element as an individual, and just applies the function to each element only…

TLDR : Chilling and built-in functions — Note : I must admit that GitHub gists is pretty good. The fact that I can embed this makes it a million times better. Learnt about some built in functions today, and I must admit I like these. Function composition (It’s symbol is a dot.) The function conjugation operator (.)…

TLDR : The one that flew over my head —

TLDR : Failing Spectacularly — Following this video. Will probably go on hackerrank and codechef later and solve a few questions there too. One more thing. Just like python, Haskell will throw a hissy fit if indentation isn’t right, so careful with that. Create a function elem that returns True if an element is in…

TLDR : Youtube for the win So I started watching this youtube series on Haskell, and I must admit it’s pretty good. Looks like I found another source to learn from. Things I’m learning The below code apparently shows us the type of the function. …

TLDR : Baby Steps — Stuff I learnt prtStrLn : Basically, it prints the given string (and only a string). That’s it. print : This is like the python print. Converts the given output (of any type) to a string and then prints it. Can supply it anything, and it will show up in the terminal. Basically, functions…

TLDR : Getting started on the setup and installation — Note : I was thinking of doing 100 days of Haskell (I even put the “100daysofCode” tag for the bloody post), but I think I shall start small for now. Let’s start with this, then we’ll upgrade accordingly should I have the time (and inclination to do so). One more…
