Hello,
I tried to solve the first problem of the 99 haskell problems on 3
seperate ways.
The problem is that I have to find the last item of a list.
The solutions I found with a little help of this mailinglist are :
last2::[a]-> Maybe a;
last2 [] = Nothing;
last2 ([x]) = Just x;
last2 (_:xs) = last2 xs
last3::[a]-> Maybe a;
last3 x
| null x = Nothing
| null xs = Just (head x)
| otherwise = last3 (tail x)
where xs = tail x
last4::[a]-> Maybe a;
last4 x = case x of
[] -> Nothing ;
[x] -> Just x ;
(_:xs) -> last4 xs
main = print $ (last2 [] )
What do you experts think of the different ways ?
