Hi Ivan,
I have read through parts of the tutorials, and also purchased "Real World
Haskell" - O'Reilly. It's not homework, if I were that young I might have
more patience with my progress.
Actually I going through the problems in ProjectEuler, and primarily using
Mathematica. But it's slow. I thought that this would be a good
opportunity to learn Haskell. I read about the various functional languages
available, ocaml, ML, Erlang and flirted briefly with F#. I wanted to find
one that was fast. Haskell looked like a good choice. Also, many of the
people solving the ProjectEuler problems were using it (and of course a
million other languages).
I could definitely use a library function. I looked and found 2 libraries
that seemed to have one. However, I am beginning and haven't really learned
enough to figure out how to load the libraries. Also, I wanted a
deterministic one, and I think I recall that one was probabilistic.
Thanks for getting back to me.
Mitchell

Have you read through any tutorials?
Do you need to write this prime detection function yourself (if so, is
this homework?) or can you use a pre-defined function?
