Hi take 1000 [1..3] still yields [1,2,3] I thought it was supposed to return an error. Any ideas?
No, that's the behavior for take specified in the Haskell 98 report: http://haskell.org/onlinereport/standard-prelude.html "-- take n, applied to a list xs, returns the prefix of xs of length n, -- or xs itself if n > length xs."
