Subject: Re: [Haskell-beginners] first number is a list

I'm sorry, I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to do. Are you
trying to find the first number _in_ a list? That could be done with for
example pattern matching:
 
 head (x:_) = x
 head _ = error "Empty list"
 
The guards in list comprehension requires booleans, you gave it a
function that takes a list and returns an item of the same time.
 
 last :: [a] -> a
