Consider the following in Haskell:
let p x = x ++ show x in putStrLn $ p"let p x = x ++ show x in putStrLn $ p"
Evaluate this expression in an interactive Haskell session and it prints itself out. But there's a nice little cheat that made this easy: the Haskell 'show' function conveniently wraps a string in quotation m... | fwe2-CC-MAIN-2013-20-06310000 |
Principles of Design
