What is the do notation in Haskell?

Can you explain what the do notation is in Haskell?

Sure! The do notation in Haskell is a syntactic sugar for chaining monadic operations, making code easier to read.

How does it simplify working with monads?

It allows you to write sequential code that looks imperative, while still working within the functional paradigm of Haskell.

Can you give me an example of using do notation?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

main = do
    putStrLn "Enter your name:"
    name <- getLine
    putStrLn ("Hello, " ++ name)

This reads a name from the user and greets them.

What are some common mistakes when using do notation?

Common mistakes include forgetting to use the <- operator for binding results and mixing up monadic types.
