Talk:Haskell/Hierarchical libraries/Lists

As DavidHouse just pointed out on the article page, this is actually converging steadily towards the basic introduction to lists at the very start of the book. I confess I didn't notice that page before I started this one! (Oh, the shame.) What, instead, should be the focus of this article to differentiate it? : Ithika 13:20, 24 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Since this is in the Hierarchical libraries chapter of the book, I think it should cover functions that are in the Data.List library, but not in the Standard Prelude. Also, all functions used in the list introductions that aren't in the Prelude, shouldn't be there, imho. Some handy functions in (Data.List \\ Prelude) include intersperse, inits, tails, unfoldr, union, intersect, nub, (\\) and <tt>delete</tt>. A special mention may be appropriate for the -By functions. --Tchakkazulu 22:25, 3 July 2006 (UTC)
