Haskell operator vs function precedence

Question

I am trying to verify something for myself about operator and function precedence in Haskell. For instance, the following code

list = map foo $ xs
         


        

Answer 1

Firstly, application (whitespace) is the highest precedence "operator".

Secondly, in Haskell, there's really no distinction between operators and functions, other than that operators are infix by default, while functions aren't. You can convert functions to infix with backticks

2 `f` x

and convert operators to prefix with parens:

(+) 2 3

So, your question is a bit confused.

Now, specific functions and operators will have declared precedence, which you can find in GHCi with ":info":

Prelude> :info ($)
($) :: (a -> b) -> a -> b   -- Defined in GHC.Base

infixr 0 $

Prelude> :info (+)

class (Eq a, Show a) => Num a where
  (+) :: a -> a -> a

infixl 6 +

Showing both precedence and associativity.
