[Haskell-cafe] Applying Data.Map

[michael rice]

In the import statements, it wasn't clear to me that I could import types as well as functions, and Map is a type. All clear now.

Thanks.

Michael

Because ! is an operator, you need to enclose it in parentheses. Also,
the (Map) in the import is already the list of things you are
importing; you can just add to that. So do the following:

Import these without qualification:
> import Data.Map (Map, fromList, (!))
Import everything else (actually including Map, fromList and (!)) with
qualification "Map":
> import qualified Data.Map as Map

Cheers,

Thomas
