For example, `main = do input <- getLine ...', where `getLine' is an action as distinguished from a function such as `main'. Other examples of actions in Haskell include `print', `putStrLn' and any process that reads from or writes to a file. Of course, the list of actions doesn't end there, though the examples here should answer your question. Sincerely, Matt At 21:44 19/10/2013, you wrote:
What do you mean by "action"?
