<br>
What my intention was to make a safe version of the init function
found in Data.list so it procudes a list without the last item. <br>
At first look your function procudes the whole list again.<br>

O(1) instead of O(n) which will be the time complexity in

Perhaps it'd help us help you if you'd be a bit more clear on

<div>Thanks, <br>

The right solution was this : <br>
<br>
init' (x:xs) = Just (x:fromMaybe xs (init'
xs))<br>
<br>
if I understand it right x:fromMaybe xs takes
care that from xs the just or Nothing is
removed ?<br>
