import Data.List.Split

type Cell = Bool

data Board = Board [[Cell]] deriving Show

trueList = True : trueList

createBoard :: Int -> Int -> Board

createBoard x y = Board (chunksOf x (take (x * y) trueList))

getCellAt :: Int -> Int -> Board -> Cell

getCellAt x y (Board b)

        | x >= (length b) =  False

        | y >= (length (b !! 0)) =  False

        | otherwise     =  (b !! x) !! y

-----------------------------------

When I try to execute this:

getCellAt (-1) 0 $ createBoard 3 3

I get a negative index exception. However, as -1 is smaller than 3 (length of the board), I would expect False to be returned.

Am I overlooking something?

Thanks!
