No need to apologize. Not dumb of you. The mandatory else is unusual. I don't personally know of any other language that requires an else for every if.

Missing else?

Hi all, 

I am stuck at a piece of code and am not able to figure out the error.  


uptable::[[Char]]->[([Char],Int,Int,Int,Int)]->[([Char],Int,Int,Int,Int)]
uptable (xf:xs) main_array = map (\(x,y,z,r,t)-> do if x==xf then tupup x y z r t second xs ) main_array


here tupup and second are functions which are working .  When compiling this it gives the error 

Syntax error in expression (unexpected `)')


I am not able to figure out where I could have gone wrong. I have tried all bracketing combinations and nothing works.
