Dear List,
Apologies for the awkward question title -- its the best I can do ATM.
I'm still working my way through chapter 13 of LYH (title for a few
monads more) and I came across the following two beasts
ghci> runState (liftM (+100) pop) [1,2,3,4]
(101,[2,3,4])
ghci> runState (fmap (+100) pop) [1,2,3,4]
(101,[2,3,4])
See
http://learnyouahaskell.com/for-a-few-monads-more#useful-monadic-functions
Even though I'm still struggling to wrap my mind around monads, I sort
of understand what's going on here. The problem is that I can't explain
why the function (+100) is applied to _only_ the value 1 in (1,[2,3,4]).
Regards,
- Olumide
