You can go:
filter ((==0) . fst)
which is equivalent to
filter (\x -> fst x == 0)

I can generate a tuple of (index,character) like this: zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']
To filter on an element in the list I can do:
filter (== (0,'A')) $ zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']
[(0,'A')]
But that is very basic, I really want to select on index value (ie first item in pair). How do I specify the first part of tuple:
filter (fst == 0) $ zip [0..] ['A'..'Z']
this doesn't work.
Couldn't match expected type `(a1, Char) -> Bool' with actual type `Bool' In the first argument of `filter', namely `(fst == 0)' In the expression: filter (fst == 0) In the expression: filter (fst == 0) $ zip [0 .. ] ['A' .. 'Z']
