Haskell :: The Use of Brackets in Recursion -


i'm wondering, recursion example:

squaresrec :: [double] -> [double]    squaresrec [] = []                        squaresrec (x:xs) = x*x : squaresrec xs

why on recursive case, there no bracket? shouldn't suppose this:

squaresrec :: [double] -> [double]    squaresrec [] = []                        squaresrec [x:xs] = x*x : squaresrec xs

i know not work. wondering explanation behind it.

[] matches empty list.

[1] matches list containing 1 element, , must number equal one. note [1] syntactic sugar (1:[]), i.e. matches is: list beginning number 1, followed list empty... complicated way of saying “a list containing single element 1”.

(x:xs) matches list begins x, followed xs (and may contain number of elements, possibly zero). i.e. pattern matches list at least 1 element.

[x:xs] matches again list contains exactly 1 element, , element should match pattern (x:xs). (which doesn't make sense type-wise, because lists contain double-numbers, not lists.)

javascript - WinJS appendTextAsync producing scheduler errors -

im trying implement logger in uwp app (windows 10) following code in both this , this answers. i'm afraid in both cases end getting scheduler ( winjs.utilities.scheduler ) errors @ random times (couldn't establish pattern). main problem the application freezes sometimes , suspect due log implementation because final line reads transitioning job (1) from: running to: blocked when happens. i messages like transitioning job (1) from: blocked_waiting to: cooperative_yield transitioning job (1) from: cooperative_yield to: scheduled in middle of execution, varying states. initialization method this.init = function () { let logger = new winjs.promise(function (complete) { let = new date(); let logfilename = `log-${now.getdate()}-${now.getmonth() + 1}-${now.getfullyear()}.log`; localfolder .createfolderasync("logs", windows.storage.creationcollisionoption.openifexists) .then(fun...

minify - Minimizing css files -

i want know how css files can minimized. currently, using external sites css minifier compress css files. however, after removing whitespaces, comments, etc, file sizes reduced 10-15%. how frameworks bootstrap manage make minimized versions kilobytes. as example, css is: body { background-color: #ff0; } the reduction goes 28 bytes 22 bytes other css files have lot more characters still smaller this. actually minifying code means it's remove thing code white space characters new line characters comments block delimiters it reduces amount of code has transferred on web , speed site load fastly.but unreadable format.

Sockets with kotlin -

i looking develop application in kotlin uses sockets, unfortunately kotlinx sockets broken , not far connect current kotlin 1.1 co-routines. (i see noted unanswered issue on github @sundwarf on july 16 already) specifically, sample code kotlinx.sockets uses connect in form: asocket().tcp().connect(inetsocketaddress(inetaddress.getbyname("google.com"), 80)) which fails noted trace here . i looking either sample of connect work, or recommendation of alternate package kotlix.sockets. there many kotlin apps making use of sockets, either there alternatives kotlinx.sockets or there way around connect problem.
