ghc: Find and compile all modules in the current directory.

$ ghc Main

try on your machine

The command "ghc Main" is used to compile and build a Haskell program named "Main" using the GHC (Glasgow Haskell Compiler) tool.

In Haskell, a main function is required as the entry point for the program execution. Typically, the main function is defined in a file named "Main.hs" and contains the program's logic.

The "ghc Main" command compiles the Haskell source code files (including "Main.hs") and generates an executable file named "Main" (or "Main.exe" on Windows). The executable file can then be run by executing it in the terminal or command prompt.

After running the command, you will see that GHC compiles the Haskell source files, performs type checking, and generates the executable file. If there are no errors, the program is ready to be run.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
