Hi Angus,

You map the drop function over the list.

Something like this will do

foo xs = map (take 8) xs

I have a list like this:

[[1,0,0,0,1,1,1,0,0],[1,1,1,0,1,1,1,0,0],[1,0,1,0,0,1,1,0,0],[0,1,0,0,1,1,1,0,0],[0,0,1,0,1,1,1,0,0],[1,0,0,1,1,1,1,0,1]]

The 'inner' list is a list of 9 items.  I want to process the list so that a list of lists is returned but the 9th element in each inner list is dropped.

So the function type would be [[a]] -> [[a]]

So to get started I wrote a function like this:

discardparitybyte :: [[Bit]] -> [[Bit]]

But then not sure how to transform the inner list.

I know I can access the first inner element using take 1 list.  But how do I then access/manipulate this inner list?

discardparitybyte (x:xs) = take 9 ??? (take 1 xs) : discardparitybyte ???
