Haskell for non-Haskell's sake

[Graham Hutton]

I use Haskell for processing the examination marks of our 900
students.  Our University has a system that can do all of this,
but to ensure that I understood all the rules and regulations
I coded up a simple version in Haskell, which comprises around
400 lines.  It takes a CSV (comma separated values) file downloaded
from our central marks database, from which five different marks
reports can be produced, which are then written out as CSV files
for viewing and further processing using Excel.  Interesting,
this simple Haskell program showed that the University system
implemented one of the progression rules incorrectly :-)
