DDC/FieldProjections

Data fields

When data types are defined using field names, we can use the projection operator (.) to select the fields.

data Vector
         = Vector { x :: Float; y :: Float; }

instance Out Vector where
	out vec = println $ parens (show vec.x % "," % show vec.y)

main ()
 = do   vec = Vector 3.0 4.0
        out vec        -- prints '(3.0, 4.0)'

        out vec.x      -- prints '3.0'
        out vec.y      -- prints '4.0'
