Description
For this task the naming of the last output variant type is confusing and will easily lead to type errors in the solution
pub type Output {
Unknown
Digit(Int)
List(List(Output))
}
fn ocr_line(line: List(List(String))) -> List(Output) {
io.debug(line)
[Unknown]
}
fn ocr(lines: List(List(String))) -> Output {
lines
|> list.sized_chunk(4)
|> list.map(ocr_line)
}
But gleam isn't happy and says:
┌─ /home/torerling/exercism/gleam/ocr-numbers/src/ocr_numbers.gleam:24:3
│
24 │ ╭ lines
25 │ │ |> list.sized_chunk(4)
26 │ │ |> list.map(ocr_line)
│ ╰───────────────────────^
The type of this returned value doesn't match the return type
annotation of this function.
Expected type:
Output
Found type:
List(List(Output))
It makes it very easy to assume that List(List(Output)) is an output? But it's not since it's the gleam list
Maybe it would be better to have something like
pub type Output {
Unknown
Digit(Int)
Digits(List(Output))
}
or the like.
