I'm trying to run this code:

let coins = [50, 25, 10, 5, 2,1]

let candidate = 11

calculate :: [Int]
calculate = [ calculate (x+candidate) | x <- coins, x > candidate]

I've read some tutorials, and it worked out ok. I'm trying to solve some small problems to give-me a feel of the language. But I'm stuck at this.

test.hs:3:0: parse error (possibly incorrect indentation)

Can anyone tell me why? I've started with haskell today so please go easy on the explanations.

I've tried to run it like:

runghc test.hs
ghc test.hs

but with:

ghci < test.hs

it gives this one:

<interactive>:1:10: parse error on input `='

Thanks
