In some typed languages the compiler does not check types but introduces code so that types can be checked at run time.

Simply use the interactive evaluator in your browser, see http://www.tryhaskell.org. To evaluate an expression, type the expression after the prompt and press the return key.

Type each of the lines using the interactive evaluator for Haskell in your browser, see http://www.tryhaskell.org, and explain the errors found.
