Hi Man,<br><br>&quot;Difficult&quot; is a relative term -- with study and practice, what one once considered difficult can become easy.&nbsp; With that said, it is true that beginners to Haskell might find it difficult to define an average function correctly since Haskell is (for good reason) picky about numeric types.&nbsp; If you post some specific code you are having trouble with I&#39;m sure someone would be happy to help you.&nbsp; You can also join the #haskell IRC channel on 
<a href="http://freenode.net">freenode.net</a>; it is populated by lots of helpful, friendly people who can answer your questions about Haskell in real-time.<br><br>cheers,<br>-Brent<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">

Dear Haskellers,<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; why is so difficult to define a function to compute the average of a list of <br>numbers??<br><br>Warm regards!!!<br><br>Man<br><br><br><br><br>
