( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??

Probably not the module you're looking for, but then again you're not going to be able to turn any of the others in for your homework either . . .

module Main where eng_commafy :: (Show a) => [a] -> String eng_commafy x | length x > 2 = foldl1 (commacat) init_as_show ++ ", a +nd " ++ last_show where commacat x y = x ++ ", " ++ y init_as_show = map (show) (init x) last_show = show (last x) eng_commafy x | length x == 2 = (show (head x)) ++ " and " ++ (show (l +ast x)) eng_commafy x | length x == 1 = show (head x) eng_commafy [] = "" main = do putStrLn (eng_commafy [1..10]) putStrLn (eng_commafy [1,2]) putStrLn (eng_commafy [1])

(Yeah, my Haskell's terrible . . . :)

Update: Actually looking at the OP's posting history this is probably not homework. But it's still trivial and probably not past the threshold of "should be stuck in a module" on its own.

The cake is a lie.

Title:
Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>
and:  <code> code here </code>
to format your post; it's "PerlMonks-approved HTML":



  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
    <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
  • Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
