How can I load a source file into Haskell (ghci)?

I have created a file in text edit on mac called: 1stfunctionite.hs with the function:

doubleX x = x + x

Then saved it to my documents. I then went onto terminal called ghci and entered

:l 1stfunctionite

Into the prelude, however, an error message came up of:

target ‘1stfunctionite is not a module name or a source file

How can I create a source file with this function inside so i can use it within terminal in prelude?

Another solution is to cd into the directory containing your files before running ghci.

You have to be in the same directory for it to work, just do :cd <your directory> in ghci and you will be fine.
