String formatting in Haskell

Question

What is Haskell\'s equivalent of

string str = string.Format(\"{0} {1}\",10,20); // C#

Answer 1

You could use the format function provided by the text-format-simple package:

import Text.Format
format "{0} {1}" [show 10, show 20]

This function has the signature:

format :: String -> [String] -> String

So all you need is provide your parameters as strings.
Another example:

format "Some {0} believes that 1 + 1 = {1}." ["people",show 10]
