Anybody found any decent online resources for getting to grips with Haskell/ Hugs?

Eccentric Toast · 06-12-2008 10:47pm

Does anyone have all the up to date material on Problem solving? Need to study and dont got much on it, im usually asleep in that class. yes yes i know its my fault.

Strange_Fruit · 07-12-2008 3:33pm

probably know about it, but his website has pretty much all you need to know.

I am so ****ed for tomorrow... whats the deal with failing exams so :P

jill_valentine · 07-12-2008 10:33pm

Yup.

I'm totally boned. It's the one subject I just can't follow, and to be honest, I think a lot of people are in the same boat.

The concepts seem simple enough, but Hugs is such a pain in the ass to use ("blah blah You've got a ; in the wrong place" "There's no ; in the damn thing!") and the... uh.. well... I'm going to very diplomatically suggest that the notes leave a lot to be desired. Yes. The notes...

rockmongrel · 07-12-2008 10:34pm

I just wish there was a book or something like for C.

jill_valentine · 07-12-2008 10:41pm

Yeah.

That's part of it too, if I can't figure something out from my C notes or lectures, I can just go and look it up in a book or on the web. Haskell doesn't seem to exist outside of that lecture hall. If we can't follow the... uh... Notes... there's nowhere else we can go. Argh.

I'm not looking forward to tomorrrow.

what's giving you hassle with C, post up any specifics and i'll give ya hand just don't expect me to sit exams for ya or anything :P

also get yourself to this site http://www.cprogramming.com/ it's an invaluable source for all things C and C++ which hopefully ya's will still be doing next year.

*EDIT*

sorry read that wrong, thought you needed help with C, left the reference to the website above for C, it is a good site.

i'm unsure of any books for haskell as it seems like one of those languages that everything is online. books are over rated though in my opinion too.

Un-Big · 07-12-2008 11:10pm

Just use 2nd years as code monkeys to do all the questions on last years test and hope you can just c&p and change a few operators. Thats what i did.. =D

jill_valentine · 07-12-2008 11:11pm

So what does happen when we fail this one, anyway?

Creamy Goodness · 07-12-2008 11:16pm

you have a second haskell test yes?

if i remember correctly if you learn how to do the Fib numbers both iterative and recursively (calling the fib function within the fib function) and tuples you should be fine.

also i was in a haskell lab there the other day and richard was doing the Class person thing as well, i'm pretty sure that will come up too.

also just remember that you can totally fail continuous assessment so long as you get 40% overall in the module from the exam.*

*not advisable though as lab tests are easy marks.

Slinky Sam and stuff

for any one interested most of the class had it correct when they said question 1 was True, http://www.oncourseworkshop.com/Learning001.htm .

BaRcOe · 08-12-2008 2:33pm

slinky sam is a murderer, if he hadnt murdered Babe in the first place we wudnt have been arguing over whats true and false in this story.

rockmongrel · 08-12-2008 5:03pm

Nevermind if anyone saw that...
Gotta try and do some of the database on access 2007 now...

Yeh, I'm not leslie!! And I strongly resent that as I don't want to be related to her in any way shape or form. I'm not gonna give my name as she monitors these pages and she already dislikes me but I am a student at DIT any doubt email me..

seriously, try the library, it has books in it;

Didn't find The Haskell School of Expression much help, and I'm waiting on The Craft of Functional Programming. Cheers.

Today, in case you weren't in :P

For those who cant get their head around flowcharts in problem solving:

davedrave · 18-12-2008 3:46pm

very good lol, i think im beginning to understand them

davedrave · 21-12-2008 5:13pm

lads wtf happened with crawdaddys?? went there early and the place was empty, went off and drank and came back at about 11 and suddenly its over 21's only! Needless to say we didn't get in and spent the rest of the night in dorans.Was still a good class outing, but severly lacking in class members

Did this happen to everyone lol?

randomcountdown · 22-12-2008 9:21pm

228 First Year nights out have always been in Cornerstone
you deserve it for screwing with tradition

Creamy Goodness · 23-12-2008 12:31am

cornerstone has really gone downhill though. went down hill a year before they changed the name to shine.

beforehand it was awesome 3 euro pints of anything, awesome jukebox music, barman who could pull a pint and have a great yap to. now it's just like they don't give an arse and gone all metro with their crappy salsa music that's going 24/7 and you've no idea when it changes track.

Agree totally! And also agree 100% about the dreadful music there now constantly playing!
