There is no problem with a function of type Int -> Int -> Int. This
has to be understood as Int -> (Int -> Int), a function that accepts
an integer and yields a function that accepts an integer and yields
an integer. A simple example:
increment :: Int -> Int -> Int
increment n = (+) n
Start = increment 2 3
This program yields 5.
Have fun,
