I find the above sufficiently alien that I can’t work out what
it’s meant to do (what is it actually for?). c is undefined for
one thing. But you might like to see what 

do i <- b; j <-c ; return (i,j)

does and consider what “filter (< 3) . map (uncurry (+))”
does, and possibly look at Data.Array.array, depending on what
the problem you are trying to solve is.
