Hi,

I'm a really beginner to haskell and I have a question about using classes.
I don't now really what this function does. So I will try to use it to see
what it will put out

position :: ( Enum a , Eq b ) => b -> [b] -> [a]
position x = position_snd . zip ( enumFrom $ toEnum 1 )
    where position_snd [] =  []
	  position_snd ((p,y):ys) | x == y    = p : position_snd ys
				  | otherwise =     position_snd ys


My roblem is now that I don't know how to use it.

I tried "head position 2 [1,2,3,4]" but I always get an error.

Thanks for help
André
