Chapter 2 Summary

A list of the chapter contents, including past stumbling blocks.

• Create a list: [5..13] or [5,10..100] or [ n^2 | n<-[1..100], even n]
• Create a tuple: (5,12)
• Key to remember: head, tail, init, last, :, ++
• Other list functions: maximum, minimum, sum, product, reverse
• More list functions: length, null, take, drop
• Sometimes useful: cycle, repeat, replicate
• Misc: !!, zip
• Double quotes make strings.
• Single quotes make individual characters.
• Strings are lists of characters, so “dog” == [‘d’,‘o’,‘g’]
