Hi. Is the some generic, clean syntax to unwrap a nested list, modify the value, and put it back together? Say, for example, I have the list [[1,2],[3,4]] and want to add 1 to each inner element, resulting in [[2,3],[4,5]]. After reading about the list monad, I was rather excited, because I (mistakenly) thought something like this would work: code: -------- a = do b <- [[1,2],[3,4]] c <- b return (c + 1) -------- That would be awesome, because I would be able to modify the list at each level of unwrapping, while leaving the code very neat and readable. However, what the above example actually does is produce a /single/ list from the values: code: -------- *Main> a [2,3,4,5] -------- Obviously wishing won't change how the list monad works, but I thought it might be worth asking if there is some other monad or syntactic trick that does something along the lines of what I am looking for. -- frigidcode.com indicium.us
