Re: [Haskell-cafe] How to print a string (lazily)

print_list xs = do putStr(join xs) where join [] = "" join (x:xs) = (show x) ++ "\n" ++ join xs

print_list xs = mapM putStrLn xs

Question: What do you call a function that has side-effects? (like putStr) I know that "function" is the wrong term.

"action", "command", "program", etc. HTH Christian
