A lot of functions are defined in the "[http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/?q=Prelude Prelude]". Also, if you ever want to search for a function, based on the name, type or module, take a look at the excellent [http://www.haskell.org/hoogle/ Hoogle]. This is for a lot of people a must-have while debugging and writing Haskell programs.

=== GHCi interaction ===

To start GHCi from a command prompt, simply type `ghci'

Prelude>
+
-
 
+
-
[http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Prelude.html Prelude] is the "base" library of Haskell.
+
-
 
+
-
To create variables at the GHCi prompt, use `let'
+
-
<haskell>
+
-
Prelude> let x = 5
+
-
Prelude> x
+
-
5
+
-
Prelude> let y = 3
+
-
Prelude> y
+
-
3
+
-
Prelude> x + y
+
-
8
+
-
</haskell>
+
-
 
+
-
`let' is also the way to create simple functions at the GHCi prompt
+
-
<haskell>
+
-
Prelude> let fact n = product [1..n]
+
-
Prelude> fact 5
+
-
120
+
-
</haskell>
+
-
 
+

+
-
=== Checking Types ===
+
-
To check the type of an expression or function, use the command `:t'
+
-
<haskell>
+
-
Prelude> :t x
+
-
x :: Integer
+
-
Prelude> :t "Hello"
+
-
"Hello" :: [Char]
+
-
</haskell>
+
-
Haskell has the following types defined in the [http://haskell.org/ghc/docs/latest/html/libraries/base/Prelude.html Standard Prelude].
+
-
<haskell>
+
-
Int -- bounded, word-sized integers
+
-
Integer -- unbounded integers
+
-
Double -- floating point values
+
-
Char -- characters
+
-
String -- equivalent to [Char], strings are lists of characters
+
-
() -- the unit type
+
-
Bool -- booleans
+
-
[a] -- lists
+
-
(a,b) -- tuples / product types
+
-
Either a b -- sum types
+
-
Maybe a -- optional values
+
