1) Is this the right place for newbies to post questions about Haskell?


This is most a list for announcements; beginners@haskell.org is better for these kinds of questions, and haskell-cafe@haskell.org for general discussion.

pred :: Int -> Int
pred 0 = 0

n+k patterns were part of Haskell '98, but removed from Haskell 2010. You may be able to use the pragma

    {-# LANGUAGE NPlusKPatterns #-}

to turn them back on.
