hi,
Anybody could please tell me that in the following two expressions what 
value does the [] take?

foldl (/) 3 []
foldr (/) 3 []

when both of them are evaluated I got 3.0,but I thought I could get 
nothing out of there,cause its an empty list,does Haskell assume any 
default value for a empty list?

If you didn't succeed at the first attempt, you are just about average.
