Hi, I was assuming that people would do their playing around and answer checking in ghci. MCPrelude does not export putStrLn because it is an IO function, which is a monad and I specifically wanted to hide all the prelude's monad stuff. I suggest loading your file in ghci with "ghci Set1.hs". Then you can just type "fiveRands" at the ghci prompt and it will show you the values.

Thanks! It would be great to walk through this, in the same way that it shows the shell commands for installation under "Getting Started."

I hardly ever use the repl because I prefer to keep my tests around. I'm sheepish to admit this, but I only just now learned that you can pass a file to ghci.
