Tricks

Syntax

• About $ and .

• Maybe and Just

• IO _ when return type is IO _, use <- to assign it to a variable

  addOne :: Int -> IO Int
  addOne x = do
      return x 
  
  main = do
      value <- addOne 1
      print(value)

• unusual show

  > show '"'
  "'\"'" :: String
  > show '\\'
  "\\\\" :: String
  > show 'x'
  "'x'" :: String

  if want to convert Char to String

  > ['x']
  "x" :: [Char]
