[Snip] People say function application in Haskell is written without brackets but this can be misleading, here you do need brackets to indicate that 'gaSolutionSpace [1,2,3,4,5]' is one argument and not two. So you should write: take 5 (gaSolutionSpace [1,2,3,4,5]) [Snip] Thanks alot, this was very helpfull. It also makes more sense now that I looked up the associativity of functions and found it to be left assoc. For some reason I assumed it would automaically bracket form the right as such (take (5 (gaSolutionSpace [1,2,3,4,5]))) but its actually this (((take 5) gaSolutionSpace) [1,2,3,4,5]) Thanks again. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
