Is there a nifty way to write

filter (\x -> x < 0.5 && x > -0.5) xs

without explicitly using x?

Maybe arrows? I have a vague understanding that arrows can "send" an argument to more than one computation.

You can do that with arrows like this: Prelude Control.Arrow> let rangeA x y = ((>x) &&& (>> (uncurry (&&)) Prelude Control.Arrow> :t rangeA rangeA :: (Ord a) => a -> a -> a -> Bool Prelude Control.Arrow> filter (rangeA 4 8) [0..10] [5,6,7] Best regards Krzysztof Skrzętnicki
