Why is it that I can do the following:

getW1 :: ErrorT String Get Word8
f1 = (+1) <$> getW1

but I cannot do:

f2 = (+) <$> getW1 <*> getW1

?

Trying to learn Haskell. I am trying to write a simple function to remove a number from a list without using built-in function (delete...I think). For the sake of simplicity, let's assume that the input parameter is an Integer and the list is an Integer list. Here is the code I have, Please tell me… >>> More

I'm trying to use Haskells Data.Heap module, but I'm incapable of even using it with integers. The only heap I've been capable of using is "empty", which does not take any arguments. Later on I'll figure out how to instance for my needs, but for now I'd be glad if I was even able to test it with… >>> More

How and why is ap defined as liftM2 id in Haskell

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Whilst trying to better understand Applicative, I looked at the definition of <*, which tends to be defined as ap, which in turn is defined as: ap :: (Monad m) => m (a -> b) -> m a -> m b ap = liftM2 id Looking at the type signatures for liftM2 and… >>> More

I've read this article, but didn't understand last section. The author says that Monad gives us context sensitivity, but it's possible to achieve the same result using only an Applicative instance: let maybeAge = (\futureYear birthYear -> if futureYear < birthYear then yearDiff birthYear… >>> More
