For one approach, check
out 'replicate' to make copies of something, and then 'sequence' to
run them and return a list.
Thanks, I haven't found anything that explains 'sequence' well yet,
but I'll keep looking.

And the one liner:
(rand 1 10) >>= return . (\v -> take v [1..10])
my last attempt before emailing was
(rand 1 10 ) >>= (\x -> take x [1..10])
So close! :)
I can see now, with all the examples, why the return is needed, but
not why the composition operator is. Something for me to look into.
Thanks for the input.

If you only need arbitrary numbers, not really random ones, you
should stay away from IO:

You're right, arbritary will be fine. It's relatively easy to get
random numbers in other languages so I just started there, but while
researching I had seen a few people lament the tying up of IO with
rands, but I couldn't understand some of the other solutions
presented. Thanks for the links, I'll give them a read.

Hi,
I have a function, that produces a random number between two given
numbers
rand :: Int -> Int -> IO Int
rand low high = getStdRandom (randomR (low,high))
(Naively) I'd like to write something like
take (rand 1 10 ) [1..10]
and see [1,2,3,4] ... or anything but nasty type-error messages.
myTake :: IO [Int]
myTake = do
n <- rand 1 10
take n [1..10]
or
myTake = rand 1 10 >>= \n -> take n [1..10]
or
myTake = rand 1 10 >>= flip take [1..10]
I'm reading about 6 tutorials on monads simultaneously but still
can't crack this simple task, and won't pain you with all the
permutations of code I've already tried. It's a lot, and it ain't
pretty.
Would anyone be able to break away from C/C++ vs Haskell to help?
Just a point in the right direction or a good doc to read, anything
that helps will be much appreciated.
Monad enlightenment happens after 7'th monad tutorial. Verified by me
and a few of my friends.
