Hi Henning: Thanks for your quick reply. So recursive and monad is the proper way to simulate loop,right?

I kept close to your suggestion, but avoiding monads, especially IO, is a good idea. If you do not need low-level memory access with peek and poke, better use lists or arrays (high level) or StorableVector (more efficient but not as flexible as array). http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Avoiding_IO Avoiding explicit recursion is also a good thing - using too much (tail) recursive function calls ends up looking like code with lots of GOTOs. Better use higher order functions. http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Haskell_programming_tips#Avoid_explicit_r...
