This is wrong, those variants are value constructors. The type constructor there is “answer,” there’s only one of them.

- Durgasoft 7y agoSo type constructors take types as their parameters and return new types you're saying, whereas the variant type in my example, the values are the constructors that make up the value of Type Answer
- bweitzman 7y agoThat's right. Type constructors are related to generics. For example if you have a generic type `List<A>` you could think of `List` as a type constructor. In most languages, however, that's not a construct you can do much of anything with.
