[Haskell-cafe] How the following works

[Tsunkiet Man]

Hello,

I can hardly imagine how the following code works:

cinits :: [a] -> [[a]]
cinits [] = [[]]
cinits (x:xs) = [] : map (x:) (cinits xs)

can someone give me a good explaination?

(I understand it a bit, but it's really hard for me to figure out how a map
in a map function works.)

Thank you for your time,

Tsunkiet
