Lesson 45 of 55
9 mins readPython Modules, Exports & Qualified Imports
In Plain English
Haskell code is organized into modules. Use module Name (exportedFunctions) where to declare modules, and import qualified Data.Map as Map to avoid name clashes.
Deep Dive: How It Works
Module Header: module Geometry.Sphere (volume, area) where.
Explicit Imports: import Data.List (sort, nub) brings only specified functions into scope.
Qualified Imports: import qualified Data.Map as Map requires calling Map.lookup and Map.insert, preventing collisions with Prelude.lookup.
Core Rules to Remember
Explicit Export Lists: Control your public API by exposing only intended functions and types.
Qualified Imports: Avoid symbol name collisions across libraries with import qualified ... as.

Micro Exercise
Remove Duplicates with nub
- Import `Data.List (nub)` and apply to `[1, 1, 2, 3, 3]`.
- Print `"Unique: "` followed by its `show` string.
