After programming as an exercice the sum function, my version is faster than the Data.List's version. Looking at the source code, Data.List uses a foldl and not a foldl'. foldl' seems faster and allows to use very big lists. So, why is foldl used by Data.List for sum? -- Guillaume Pinot http://www.irccyn.ec-nantes.fr/~pinot/ « Les grandes personnes ne comprennent jamais rien toutes seules, et c'est fatigant, pour les enfants, de toujours leur donner des explications... » -- Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, Le Petit Prince () ASCII ribbon campaign -- Against HTML e-mail /\ http://www.asciiribbon.org -- Against proprietary attachments
