I'm trying to add an instance declaration in Haskell for a new data type I've created unsuccessfully. Here what I've tried so far:
data Prediction = Prediction Int Int Int
showPrediction :: Prediction -> String
showPrediction (Prediction a b c) = show a ++ "-" ++ show b ++ "-" ++ show c
instance Show (Prediction p) => showPrediction p
Seems the last line is wrong but I'm not sure how to achieve what I want. Basically is to be able to call from the interpreter a Prediction variable and get it visualized without having to call the showPrediction. Right now this works:
showPrediction (Prediction 1 2 3)
and shows:
"1-2-3"
as expected, but I would like this to work (from the interpreter):
Prediction 1 2 3
Any ideas?
