[Haskell-cafe] General Advice Needed ..

[Ian675]

Pretty much yeah.. Im going through the book and things like :

Define a function rangeProduct which when given natural numbers m and n,
returns the product m*(m+1)*....*(n-1)*n

I got the solution from my lecture notes but I still dont understand it..

rangeProduct :: Int -> Int -> Int
rangeProduct m n
                  | m > n = 0
                  | m == n = m
                  | otherwise = m * rangeProduct (m+1) n

Totally lost! Haha..

But thanks for the book suggestion, My exam is tommorow so I'm hoping theres
an online version of this book that I can read through!

And maybe by some divine miracle I'll understand it :-)
