Stumble upon this interesting website. Interesting idea. Anyone who likes keeping some question marks in their minds must check it out!

My solution to the first question:

foldl (+) 0 [x | x<-[1..1000], x `mod` 3 == 0 || x `mod` 5 == 0]

However, my problem is that I don’t know how to make use of it. Of course, I am definitely an amateur in programming, having had some programming courses in Uni, but mainly relied on internet resources. But I can figure out more ways of using Python.

So far, what I can do with haskell is to use it for office automation. Yeah, I kinda of use it the same way I used python.

I am a actuarial student, most of my stuff is in Excel; for actuarial computing, we use specialized actuairal software. How can I use Haskell in a more meaningful way?

How do you use Haskell? Especially when you are not a programmer. Thanks to whoever shares.

For those who are concerned about the financial world. You are always welcome to share your opinion.

Just created a simple simulation of the Monty Carlo game using Haskell. Apparently the code above did not fully utilize the powerful syntax of Haskell, but it is my first product. Most importantly, it gives me the right conclusion the probability of winning by staying/switching is 33.3%/66.7%. So remember, always choose to switch!

At first it was tricky to get the types correct. And it was tricky about the indentation too. After all, it was fun and I have learnt something that I already knew in a practical way. I will feed in the details tomorrow night, if I have time ^_^.

Here are some resources, for my own convenience, and for yours in case you are also a geeky person:
