Step 15 in tutorial doesn't advance #241

Open tajohnsen opened 6 years ago

tajohnsen commented 6 years ago

This is an extremely minor issue but as a developer this is the kind of stuff I don't notice and wish people would report instead of complaining to their peers.

In Functions, functors, functoids, funky the last step is to type (1,"George"). If you put a space between the comma and double quote [(1, "George")] the lesson doesn't advance. To this point everything else seems to advance without this level of accuracy.

Hope this helps! This is day one of my journey and I have to admit that this is the most friendly tutorial I've experienced in my programming career. Well done!

As I move on it seems to be hit or miss requiring exact syntax. The biggest example is the quiz in Step 23; I put let (_,(x:_)) = (10,"abc") in x but it required let (_,(a:_)) = (10,"abc") in a. I'll write future occurrences and if you want them I'll post them. I don't want to be listing each one if you deem this a low priority.
