[Haskell] Newbie

Hello, I'm new to Haskell and this is my first post to this forum. A few questions right off the bat: 1) Is this the right place for newbies to post questions about Haskell? 2) Is there a FAQ for Haskell questions? 3) Are there any active Haskell user groups in the Chicago area? A more technical question: I'm messing around with basic Haskell examples on eclipse using the FP add-on running over GHC. The following code works: pred :: Int -> Int pred 0 = 0 pred n = n-1 The following code doesn't: pred :: Int -> Int pred 0 = 0 pred n+1 = n Does anyone know why this might be? "Thanks" and "I apologize" in advance. dan
