+# Haskell Syntax 
+Math vs. Haskell
+f(x) - f x
+f(x,y) - f x y
+f(g(x)) - f (g x)
+f(x, g(y)) - f x (g y)
+f(x)g(y) - f x * g y
+
+## Naming
+Names of constructs start with a capital letter.
+Names of functions and vars start with a small letter.
+Concrete types start with a capital.
+Type variables start with a small var.
+
+Keywords may not be used as names.
+
+Comments: -- (single line)
+Multiline: {- Multiline would go in here -}
+They can be nested
+
+# Conditionals
+if ... then ... else ...
+
+```haskell
+abs x = if x < 0 then -x else x
+```
+
+intermediate / subexpression using 'let' binding. They are immutable.
+
+```haskell
+cylinderSurfaceArea r h = 
+	let sideArea = 2 * pi * r * h
+		topArea = pi * r ^ 2
+	in sideArea + 2 * topArea
+```
+
+## Function Definition
+Each definition can have an optional type signature
+A definition is one or more _clauses_
+Helper functions can be put in a `where` block
+
+## Where vs. let
+- let defines vars before they are used, where defines them after
+- let ... in ... can appear anywhere in an expression while where is always attached to a `clause`
+
+## The Layout Rule
+Haskell is layout sensitive
+Indentation of code matters
+
+Definitions at the same level of indentation belong to the same block
+
+Within a block all definitions must start at the exact same column.
+blocks start with one of the keywords: where, let, case or do
+
+# Types in Haskell
+a type is a name for a collection of values
+Haskell syntax for typing: `True :: Bool`
+You can write type annotations almost anywhere, and optional
+
+ `Int` = 64 bit integer
+ `Integer` = any size integer
+
+## Pure Functions
+a pure function can only return a value, or loop forever
+it can't:
+- modify a global var
+- throw an exception
+- read or write a file
+- send a message over the network
+
+(a,b) is the type of tuples (x,y) where x :: a and y :: b.
+Example:
+(42, True) :: (Int, Bool)
+('x', 'y', 'z') :: (Char, Char, Char)
+
+## Functions with several arguments
+add1 :: (Int, Int) -> Int
+add2 :: Int -> (Int -> Int)
+
+add1 takes as argument a tuple (x,y) and returns and Int
+add2 takes as argument an Int and returns a function of type Int -> Int which can then be called with the next argument
+
+A function that returns another function is called a curried function after Haskell B. Curry.
+```haskell
+> :t add2 1
+Int -> Int
+> (add2 1) 1
+2
+```
+
+```haskell
+Int -> Bool -> Char === Int -> (Bool -> Char)
+```
+
+function application associates to the left
+`f x y == (f x) y`
+
+## List Type
+[t] is the type of (singly linked lists) [x1, x2, ..., xn] with elements of type t
+```haskell
+[True, False] :: [Bool]
+[1,2,3] :: Num a => [a]
+[[1],[1,2],[1,2,3]] :: Num a => [[a]]
+['a','b','c'] :: String 
+```
+
+Why Num a? because technically, this is the broadest category that these fit in, because they could technically also be floats.
+_this may have changed apparently idfk_
+
+
+`type String = [Char]`
