[Haskell-beginners] Empty list

[Shishir Srivastava]

Hi,

Can someone please explain why this results in error -

[] `elem` [1,2,3]

Shouldn't the empty set by definition be the element of all sets including
a non-empty set ?

I am assuming 'Lists' are different from 'Sets' in Haskell, if yes, is
there a separate module for dealing/working with sets ?

Thanks,
Shishir Srivastava
