Another boring variant from me then. isHomogeneous xs = all (first==) xs where first = head xs Guess what? You do not need the special case for [], because "all _ [] = True" allways. So if the list is empty, it won't even try evaluating "first". Cheers, On 12 March 2010 14:08, Daniel Fischer <daniel.is.fischer@web.de> wrote:

Variant, getting rid of the special case for an empty list:
isHomogeneous :: Eq a => [a] -> Bool isHomogeneous xs = and (zipWith (==) xs (drop 1 xs)) _______________________________________________ Beginners mailing list Beginners@haskell.org http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/beginners
