I can't understand what is wrong with following bit of code:
let toClass (problem:Problem<'a>) (classID:int) (items:'a list) =
let newFreqTable = (problem.FreqTables.[classID]).count items
{ problem with FreqTables = newFreqTable :: (problem.FreqTables |> List.filter (fun i -> i.ClassID <> classID)) }
type Problem<'a> when 'a : equality with member this.toClass (classID:int) (items:list<'a>) = toClass this classID items
I have a Problem type which is nothing but a way to group up any number of FreqTables - short for "Frequency tables". So toClass method just takes appropriate freqTable (by classID argument) and returns a new one - with calculated given items.
let typeIndependentCall = toClass p 0 ["word"; "word"; "s"] // this works perfectly
let typeDependentCall = typeIndependentCall.toClass 1 ["word"; "s"]
// gives an error: "One or more of the overloads of this method has
// curried arguments. Consider redesigning these members to take
// arguments in tupled form".
I am pretty new to F# and functional programming. What is the right way to attach behavior to my type?
