My understanding is that what is really "passed" to the skip function is something like this:
putStrLn "2" >> putStrLn "3"
Here is my question: is it possible for the skip function to return the number of actions that were skipped? In other words, is it possible to go through the chain above without executing the actions but counting them instead?
I am also a beginner (so I am probably wrong), but I think actually the (>>)
function turns two IO actions into one, and your function only recieves that
one IO action. I am not sure if that can be decomposed or not (probably not).
