Sending two lists, [1,2,3] and [2,3,4] it would return [(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)]. I managed to code my way into returning a list of lists, which works. But it seemed like a very basic list/matrix function, so I honestly believe that the Haskell designers probably would've put it in.
Did you mean [1,2,3] and [4,5,6]?
To elaborate, a list comprehension is what you want, if you want this function to do what I think you want it to do. Prelude> let f as bs = [(a,b) | a <- as, b <- bs] Prelude> f [1,2,3] [4,5,6] [(1,4),(1,5),(1,6),(2,4),(2,5),(2,6),(3,4),(3,5),(3,6)] Cheers, Edward
