[Haskell-cafe] Re: Best way to write endsWith

Hello,

I have this function here:

...

endsWith :: Eq a => [a] -> [a] -> Bool endsWith suffix list | lengthDifference < 0 = False | otherwise = (drop lengthDifference list) == suffix where lengthDifference = (length list) - (length suffix)

I thinks that's what List.isSuffixOf does.

I like being able to say "abc" `endsWith` "c", but I also like to be able to say map (endsWith 't') ["cat", dog"] but I can't have both.

import List "c" `isSuffixOf` "abc" map ("t" `isSuffixOf`) ["cat", "dog"] --Stephan
