More precisely, +a port represents all values that a time-dependent variable successively takes +as a stream, where each element of the stream corresponds to a state change - +we can also say that a port represents a time series. Moreover, a port supports +concurrent construction of the time series, or stream of values. + +WWW: http://www.cse.unsw.edu.au/~chak/haskell/ports/ + +-- Oliver Braun +obraun@FreeBSD.org |
