Functor (<$>) has wrong signature #19

Closed arkadiuszbicz closed 5 years ago

arkadiuszbicz commented 5 years ago

Functor (<$>) has wrong signature on page https://wiki.haskell.org/Functor.

Is in 2 Syntax section :

(<$>) :: a -> f b -> f a

Should be:

(<$>) :: (a -> b) -> f a -> f b

Thank you for pointing out the error. Since this is a wiki, you can make the correction yourself. If you don't have an account yet, please request one, so you can make changes.

Note: The error in section 2 of the wiki page is that it defines (<$>), when it should define (<$). You can see this by looking at the definition of Data.Functor (see https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.7.0.2/docs/src/GHC-Base.html#Functor). A previous edit to section 2 of the wiki page incorrectly replaced (<$) with (<$>). So the proper correction in section 2 is to revert (<$>) back to (<$).
