Beginners Question: Problem with Data Type Declaration

[kaffeepause73]

I try to create an own data type containing "Vector Double" from the H-Matrix package. The code:

##

data PowerSig = PowerSig Int Double Vector Double

main = do
let p5 = PowerSig 1 0.1 (fromList [1,2,3])

##

When compiling with ghci, I get however the following message:

    `Vector' is not applied to enough type arguments
    Expected kind `?', but `Vector' has kind `* -> *'
    In the type `Vector'
    In the definition of data constructor `PowerSig'
    In the data type declaration for `PowerSig'

I don't understand the compilers message and couldn't find any wiki-page/other material to help me.
The Data Declaration somehow seems not to understand that "Vector Double" belongs together, but brackets don't help either.

Cheers Phil

You need to put parenthesis around (Vector Double). Otherwise this is
interpreted as a constructor with 4 fields (instead of 3).

Hi Johan,

actually quite obvious. Code works now, many thanks. :-)


import Data.Packed.Vector

data PowerSig = PowerSig Int Double (Vector Double) -- signal Index timeStep data

instance Show PowerSig where  
  show (PowerSig idx dt vector) = "PowerSignal Nr: " ++ show idx ++ "  dt: " ++ show dt ++ " val:" ++ show vector    
 
main = do

        let p = PowerSig 5 0.1 (fromList [0..10::Double])
        putStrLn (show p)
