This was a bit baffling too. It appears that there's an implied argument to runTick. This also works and makes it more explicit. I suppose the compiler just works out that the only place to put the 'n' is after tick.
runTick :: Int -> (String,Int) runTick n = runState tick n
Not exactly. Look up "currying". (Writing out the same definition with the argument "n" specified explicitly like you did is called "eta-expansion", by the way.)
