Bird 1.6.3 requires deducing type signatures for the functions "strange" and
"stranger."
Are my solutions below correct?
(i) strange f g = g (f g)
Assume g :: a -> b. Then f :: (a -> b) -> c. But since g :: a -> b,f g :: a,
so c = a. Therefore, f :: (a -> b) -> a, and g (f g) :: a.Therefore, strange
:: ((a -> b) -> a) -> (a -> b) -> a.
(ii) stranger f = f f
Assume f :: a -> b. Since "f f" is well-typed, type unification requiresa = b.
Therefore, f :: a -> a, and stranger :: (a -> a) -> a.
