Re: [Haskell-beginners] basic State Monad

I don't think that code snippets presented without motivation, explanation, or commentary are an effective way to teach.

I agree, they are not. However it took me a better part of today to write this snippet. If I saw it as it is, I could proceed with my coding task without delay. I posted it just in case someone faces a similar problem and could benefit from it. This is to complement other available materials, not to replace them.
