[Haskell-beginners] Left vs Right

[Shishir Srivastava]

Hi,

Can someone please explain the difference in outputs of the following two
expressions -

--------------

ghci> fmap (replicate 3) (Right "blah")
Right ["blah","blah","blah"]

ghci> fmap (replicate 3) (Left "foo")
Left "foo"

---------------

Why does 'Right' return a list of Strings whereas 'Left' returns just a
String.

Thanks,
Shishir
