How to import only '..' from Data.Array

Help
#1

I would like to use the .. operator for ranges, but I do not want to import all of Data.Array globally. How can I import only ‘…’ from Data.Array?

I tried

import data.Array (..)

and

import data.Array ( .. )

but PureScript doesn’t seem to understand this notation.

Try

import Data.Array ((..))

The parenthesized notation is generally how you refer to operators when they’re not being used infix. That’s also how you pass an operator to a higher-order function like fold (+) 0 [1, 2] and can be used to apply an operator as a normal non-infix function (..) 1 3 == 1 .. 3.

Aaaah, yes! I read that in “The Book” - but didn’t realise it applies to imports as well. Thanks!
