In Haskell, functions are defined using a combination of pattern matching and equations. The syntax for defining functions in Haskell is concise and follows a specific structure. Let's explore the syntax with some examples:
1. Basic Function Definition:
To define a basic function, we specify the function name followed by the arguments and an equal sign (=) to indicate the definition. The body of the function is then specified on the right-hand side.
Example:
```
haskell`square :: Int -> Int
square x = x * x`
```
In this example, we define a function named "square" that takes an integer argument "x" and returns the square of "x". The function type declaration specifies that the function takes an integer and returns an integer.
2. Pattern Matching:
Haskell allows defining functions using pattern matching, where different patterns are matched against the input arguments to determine which equation to use for evaluation....
