7 min readTo create your own list in Haskell, you can use the list comprehension syntax or the cons operator. Here are the different methods you can use:Using the cons operator (:): The : operator, also known as the cons operator, allows you to add an element to the beginning of a list. You can create a list by repeatedly applying the cons operator. For example, to create a list with elements 1, 2, and 3, you can write: myList = 1:2:3:[].

5 min readTo apply a function to every element in a list in Haskell, you can use various higher-order functions or list comprehensions. Here are a few common approaches:Using map function: The map function takes a function and a list, and applies that function to every element of the list. It returns a new list with the transformed elements.

6 min readTo generate a list with your own data type in Haskell, you need to define your data type and then use list comprehension or recursion to generate the desired list.Here are the steps you can follow:Define your own data type using the data keyword. For example, let's say you want to create a data type called Person with a name field of type String and an age field of type Int.

5 min readGetting a date in Haskell involves writing code to handle date and time-related operations. While Haskell is primarily a functional programming language, it provides libraries and functions to work with dates and times.To get a date in Haskell, you can use the Data.Time module from the time package. This module provides types and functions for manipulating dates, times, and time durations. The getCurrentTime function from this module can be used to obtain the current system time.

4 min readIn Haskell, double quotes are used to denote string literals. If you want to include a double quote character within a string, you need to escape it. Here's how you can escape double quotes in Haskell:Using the backslash character (\): To escape a double quote, you can place a backslash (\) before it. For example, if you want to include the string "Hello World!" with the double quotes, you can write it as \"Hello World!\". Using the Data.

8 min readTo "overload" a dollar operator in Haskell, you need to define a new operator that behaves differently than the regular function application operator $.In Haskell, the $ operator is right associative and has the lowest precedence, allowing you to avoid using parentheses for function application. It simply applies the function on its left to the value on its right.To overload the $ operator, you can define a new operator and implement custom behavior.

7 min readFunction evaluation in Haskell follows a process known as lazy evaluation. Unlike eager evaluation, which immediately evaluates all expressions, lazy evaluation delays evaluation until the value is actually needed. This leads to increased efficiency by avoiding unnecessary computations.In Haskell, a function is evaluated when it is applied to arguments. When a function is called with arguments, Haskell's compiler or interpreter performs a process called pattern matching.
-
6 min readIn Haskell, several functions involve caching to improve performance. These include:Memoization: Haskell provides an easy way to memoize functions, which involves caching the results of function calls for subsequent invocations with the same input parameters. By remembering previously computed results, memoization avoids redundant calculations and dramatically speeds up subsequent function calls.

6 min readTo deploy an Erlang application, you need to follow a series of steps:Build your application: Compile the Erlang source files into binaries using the Erlang compiler. This will generate beam files that contain the compiled code. Create a release: Use tools like Rebar3 or OTP to create a release. A release bundles the necessary files and resources required to run an application, including beam files, configuration files, and any other dependencies.

11 min readTo optimize and profile Erlang code, there are several techniques and tools available. These can help identify performance bottlenecks and latency issues, allowing you to make appropriate optimizations. Here are some ways to accomplish this:Measure Performance: Start by profiling your code to understand where the performance issues lie. You can use built-in tools like timer:tc/3 or erlang:statistics/1 to measure execution time or other relevant metrics.

11 min readDialyzer is a static analysis tool used for type checking in the Erlang programming language. It can detect type errors and provide type specifications for functions and modules in Erlang code. Here is an overview of how to use Dialyzer:Installation: Dialyzer is included in the Erlang/OTP distribution, so ensure you have Erlang installed on your system. Type Specifications: To use Dialyzer effectively, you need to add type specifications to your code.
