Thanks all.

I have now this :

-- | The main entry point.
last' :: [a] -> Maybe a
last' [] = Nothing
last' [x] = Just x
last' (_:xs) = last' xs

main = print . last' [1,2,3]

but I see this message about main :

GHC threw an exception : Couldn't match expected type ‘GHC.Types.IO a0’ with actual type ‘a1 -> GHC.Types.IO ()’

I work wih the fpcomplete and they demand a main in the code .

Hi

In your definition, you seem to have forgotten the case when your list is empty.
[x] won't bind on [].

Notice that the last line does no recursion: it invokes the Prelude's definition of last.
