Haskell: file name and path do not match module name

Question

I am using the Haskell app for OS X, and have created a Haskell project, and when I create another file in the project, Haskell tells me that the file name and path do not match the module name! I am new to Haskell, what does this mean?

It is telling me also that it is expecting the name of the file as the module name.

Thanks!

Answer 1

The error message tells you that the module name and the file name should be the same.

E.g.: If the file name is NewModule.hs, the module name should be NewModule. E.g.

-- NewModule.hs:

module NewModule where

-- you may define functions here...

So, you just have to use the module directive.
