For disclosure, I'm rather new to Haskell and am figuring out the syntax. Let me illustrate my question with an example. Let's say you have a function which returns a tuple of several values or a data type with multiple fields.
let tuple = functionWhichReturnsTuple value1 = fst tuple value2 = snd tuplein otherFunction value1 value2
Once the line in the in
block is executed, would functionWhichReturnsTuple
be called twice, once for value1
and once for value2
? If so, what would be a better method of extracting multiple values at once without initiating multiple function calls?
