Haskell: a simple intro

Ahmed Sherief Ahmed ELDakhakhnyTwitter:@ahmd_sheriefFacebook:goo.gl/9RKCH

• Haskell is functional programming language• Haskell is lazy. Haskell won't execute functions

and calculate things until it's really forced to show you a result.

• Haskell allow infinite data structures• Haskell can build recursive procedures

Haskell is statically typed

• The type of every expression is known at compile time-and has type interface if u say a=5+8 then a is a number other example num sum(num1 ,num2) if you passed a string as num1 and a number as num2 it will deal with the string as a number

• Haskell is elegant and concise.• Haskell programs are usually shorter than

their imperative equivalents. And shorter programs are easier to maintain than longer ones and have less bugs

• To program in Haskell you will need – text editor– A Haskell compiler(GHC is the most widely used

Haskell

Some important data structures

• List• Dictionary --lookup • Trees (red-black , AVL)• Graphs• Mutables• Io• etc
