Hi all,
I'm a Haskell newbie and I don't really understand how Haskell deals
with functions that really must have side-effects. Like a rand()
function or getLine().
I know this has something to do with monads, but I don't really
understand monads yet. Is there someone who might explain this in newbie
terms? I don't need to understand the whole thing, I don't need a rand()
function right this minute. I just want to understand how Haskell
separates purely functional code from non-functional code (I understand
that a rand() function is inevitably not functional code, right?)
Cheers,
Daniel.
