Quanyang, Thanks for your apology. I apologize too. I do try to find out answers by myself but was unsuccessful in this case probably because the answer lay in a topic/chapter of the book (Monads) that I am yet to read. (I am reading LYH chapter-by-chapter.) Sometimes our best attempts to find an answer will _fail_ ... and that's why this mailing list exists. We should give each other the benefit of the doubt and assume that someone that's asked a question has made some sort of effort to understand before asking.

Hi Olumide,
I didn't mean quip... If that offended you, I apologize.
But if you learn to find the answer out yourself, it will be more efficient, since you don't need to wait for others...
For your question, a single query with 'haskell do' as keyword should be enough.

Can I also add that this sort of elitist, unhelpful quip of a pseudo-answer is the reason that I've largely avoided asking Haskell beginner questions on stackoverflow.
Haskell is a wonderful language with a steep learning curve and I believe that it is the intention of this group grow the user base of the language by create a place where beginners will not be afraid to ask questions. And hasty ill-thought, poorly worded answers like Quanyang's won't help the language get there sooner.
