Suppose I want to use an argument twice, as for example in the expression:
(\x -> (pred1 x) and (pred2 x))

Is there a shorter way of doing this?

I suppose you meant to write '&&' instead of 'and'?

You can write it in an applicative style as

  (&&) <$> pred1 <*> pred2

If you like, you can shorten that a bit using 'liftA2' as

  liftA2 (&&) pred1 pred2

but I personally tend to like the former version better.
