Problem is following short program:<div><div>list = [1,2,3,4,5]</div><div><br></div><div>advance l = map (\x -> x+1) l</div><div><br></div><div>run 0 s = s</div><div>run n s = run (n-1) $ advance s</div><div><br></div><div>main = do</div><div> let s = run 50000000 list</div><div> putStrLn $ show s</div></div><div><br></div><div>I want to incrementally update list lot of times, but don't know</div><div>how to do this.</div><div>Since Haskell does not have loops I have to use recursion,</div><div>but problem is that recursive calls keep previous/state parameter</div><div>leading to excessive stack.and memory usage.</div><div>I don't know how to tell Haskell not to keep previous</div><div>state rather to release so memory consumption becomes</div><div>managable.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there some solution to this problem as I think it is rather</div><div>common?</div><div><br></div> </div></body>
