Prelude Module – Haskell
The Prelude module in Haskell is the foundational collection of functions and definitions that automatically loads with every Haskell program. It provides essential functionality for handling data types, performing basic operations, and manipulating lists, allowing programmers to get started without needing to import additional libraries for fundamental tasks. This article explores the Prelude module, highlights…

The Haskell Advantage: Why Learning Functional Programming Opens Doors to Cardano
With the rapid growth of blockchain technologies, developers are seeking ways to stand out and make meaningful contributions to innovative platforms like Cardano. Unlike other blockchains, Cardano is unique in its choice of language and programming principles: it’s developed in Haskell, a functional programming language known for its precision, safety, and mathematical rigor. If you’re…

The Differences Between Imperative and Functional Programming Languages
Programming languages are often categorized based on their approach to solving problems and organizing code. Two of the most popular paradigms are imperative programming and functional programming. While both paradigms aim to help programmers build efficient and effective solutions, they differ significantly in their underlying principles, syntax, and style. This article explores the key differences…

How long does it take to learn the most popular programming languages?
The time it takes to learn a popular programming language depends on factors like the learner’s prior experience, the language’s complexity, the level of proficiency desired, and the resources available for learning. Here’s a general guide for how long it might take to become comfortable with some of the most popular programming languages, assuming regular…

Babel Fees
Babel fees on Cardano are an innovative mechanism allowing users to pay transaction fees in tokens other than ADA, the native currency of the Cardano blockchain. This feature is particularly useful in cases where users hold assets or tokens but lack the required amount of ADA to cover transaction fees. Babel fees introduce a way…

Prefix Functions – Haskell
In Haskell, prefix functions are functions that are written before their arguments, as opposed to infix functions, which are written between their arguments. Most functions in Haskell are prefix by default. Key Points About Prefix Functions in Haskell Example: 3. Higher-Order Functions: Functions like map, filter, and foldr are typically used in prefix form, as…

Infix Functions – Haskell
In Haskell, infix functions are functions that are written between their arguments, rather than before them (prefix functions). This notation is commonly used with operators, such as + or *, but any function that takes two arguments can also be used as an infix function. Infix notation can make code more readable, especially for functions…

Darts Problem – Haskell [Problem Solved]
Background This problem comes courtesy of the great folks over at Exercism. I highly recommend jumping on their Haskell track to apply your knowledge of Haskell. The Problem Write a function that returns the earned points in a single toss of a Darts game. Darts is a game where players throw darts at a target.In…

List of Operators – Haskell
In Haskell, operators are an essential part of the language that make it both powerful and expressive. Whether you’re working with basic arithmetic, manipulating lists, or chaining functions, Haskell’s rich set of operators provides flexible ways to interact with different data types. In this guide, we’ll explore the major operators available in Haskell, grouped by…

Operator vs. Function – Haskell
In Haskell, both operators and functions are used to perform operations on values, but they differ in their syntax and sometimes in how they are used. Here’s a breakdown of the differences: 1. Syntax and Notation Example: 2. Infix vs. Prefix Application Example: 3. Custom Operators vs. Regular Functions Example of a Custom Operator: 4.…
