[Haskell-cafe] Re: Need some help with an infinite list

[GüŸnther Schmidt]

Hi Tom,

thanks for that.
I remembered reading about that in my earliest haskell days, couldn't 
find it again and couldn't get it right by myself either.

Hi guys,

I'd like to generate an infinite list, like

["a", "b", "c" .. "z", "aa", "ab", "ac" .. "az", "ba", "bb", "bc" .. 
"bz", "ca" ...]


If you're happy to have a "" before the "a", you can do this as a fairly cute
one-liner in a similar style to this list of Fibonacci numbers.

    fib = 0:1:[m + n | (m, n) <- zip fib (tail fib)]

Regards,
Tom
