I have written the code (I'm new to haskell, very new) and can't solve the warning.

problem:

funk ::  Num a => a -> a
funk a = a + 10 
main :: IO()
main = print (funk 10 )

Warning:

It simply says that you did not specify the type for 10. It can strictly speaking by any type that is an member of the Num typeclass, but the compiler uses defaulting rules, and thus picks an Integer.

You can give Haskell a type constraint to determine the type of 10, for example:

funk :: Num a => a -> a
funk = (+ 10)

main :: IO ()
main = print (funk (10 :: Integer))
