2. Write statements in Haskell to:

(a) prepend the numbers 5, 10 to the list num1 = [15, 20, 25], storing the result
in num2. [2]

(b) append the numbers 30, 35, to the list num2, storing the result in num3. [2]

(c) Why is it not possible to append numbers to num2, leaving the result in num2? [1]

(d) What would be the result of concatenating the lists num2 and num3? [1]

4. In Haskell, strings of characters can be treated as lists. The following list contains 3 strings:
sentence = ["Here", "we", "are"]
(a) length is a function which returns the number of elements in a list.
(i) Write a statement which will return the number of strings in sentence. [1]

(ii) map is a function which takes a list and the function to be applied to the elements
in the list, and returns a list made by applying the function to each element of the
list.
Write a statement which will return a list containing the lengths of each
word in the list sentence given above. [2]

(iii) What will be the list returned by this statement? [1]

(b) The foldl function reduces a list to a single value, so that


foldl (+) 10 [2,3,4,5] evaluates to 10 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 24
Write a statement using the foldl, map and length functions which will count
all the characters in the list sentence. [3]
