Chapter 9. More Input and More Output
Now that you understand the concepts behind Haskell’s I/O, we can start doing fun stuff with it. In this chapter, we’ll interact with files, make random numbers, deal with command-line arguments, and more. Stay tuned!
Files and Streams
Armed with the knowledge about how I/O actions work, we can move on to reading and writing files with Haskell. But first, let’s take a look at how we can use Haskell to easily process streams of data. A stream is a succession of pieces of data entering or exiting a program over time. For instance, when you’re inputting characters into a program via the keyboard, those characters can be thought of as a stream.
Input Redirection
Many interactive programs get the user’s input via the ...
