[Haskell-beginners] Again on list manipulations

[Alex Rozenshteyn]

You're right, I meant (!!).  I've been playing with Array values recently,
and (!) is used there.

As has already been stated, genericIndex in the Data.List module will help
with the Integer problem, as will fromInteger.

As has also already been mentioned, lists + indexing = slow.  If you care
about efficiency, and you need indexing, you might want to look into
Data.Array.IArray if you have fixed bounds or Data.Sequence if you don't.
