Haskell - Solving Linear Diophantine Equations - Part 1

🧩 Learn Functional Programming by solving a real puzzle! We look at a tricky math problem: if red shirts cost $18 and black shirts cost $11, and you spent exactly $1188, how many of each did you buy? Then, we switch to VS Code to model this equation in Haskell using custom Data Types and write a "checker" function to verify our guesses. 📚 What you will learn: - How to define custom Data Types (data) in Haskell - How to model a Linear Diophantine Equation (ax + by = c) - How to use Pattern Matching to extract values - How to write a checkSolution function to test your guesses - How to make your output readable with a prettyPrint function 🧪 Tech stack: - Haskell (GHCi) - VS Code 🧮 The set of videos for Solving Linear Diophantine Eqations: Haskell - Solving Linear Diophantine Equations - Part 1: this one!
