Introduction to pattern matching in functions.
Simplified Design
- Signature
- Purpose (frequently given in the problem)

- Roadmap for writing
- Write code.

Opener
Examples:
lotsOfLetters [4] == "aaaa"
lotsOfLetters [3,1,4] == "aaabcccc"
lotsOfLetters [3,1,4,1,5] == "aaabccccdeeeee"
More than one approach works well!
Today: handle one letter at a time, use a helper.
Multiple simple helpers is good.
Check-Expect
Just make a list of Boolean values that should all be True.
checkLots = [
lotsOfLetters [4] == "aaaa"
,lotsOfLetters [3,1,4] == "aaabcccc"
,lotsOfLetters [3,1,4,1,5] == "aaabccccdeeeee"
]
main = do putStrLn $ show checkLots
