thank you very much for all your Help. I am finally able to do something (O: I watched the video presentation from Edsge W. Dijkstra. It is very helpful. thank you once again for providing me the link. I am trying to call a function and print a message. moveLoadR :: Int -> Int -> (IO ()-> a) moveLoadR m c | m==0 && c==0 = moveEndR $ putStrLn "END" | otherwise = moveLoadR (m-1) (c-1) $ putStrLn "Starting Missionary and Cannibal Game.\nLeft Bank: Missionary=3:Cannibal=3: Moving From: Left ===> Right: Missionary=1 Cannibal=1 \n" moveEndR :: (IO ()->a) moveEndR = putStrLn"END OF Solution" <<< === THIS IS INCORRECT. I tried doing this . but it will take me to the infinite Loop. moveEndR :: (IO ()->a) moveEndR = moveEndR $ putStrLn"END OF GAME" Any help in this would be greatly appreciated. .

This is presumably your homework. See http://www.haskell.org/haskellwiki/Homework_help

This kind of problem is often solved by using the List monad, so try looking at that first.

Failing that, have a list of moves to make a sequence. Then make a list of all possible sequences. Then filter out the ones that break the rules. Whatever is left is the answer you want.
