Hi,

 I want to know if it exists a null instruction (a instruction
 that do anything

Not really, since instructions don't do anything anyway - they only
compute values.

If you are in the IO monad then return () is the do nothing.


I need this answer. This is my case. Thanks you very much.


In the function world, id is the do nothing.

In recursive list processing, then something like [] is probably the
base case in a recursive function, so stops the recursivity.

If you give a more concrete example, then maybe we can give you a better answer.

Thanks

Neil
