-I wanted to get proficient in Haskell so I decided to follow [An [Essential] Haskell Reading List][http://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/essential_haskell.html], there I stumbled upon Typoclassopedia, while the material is great, I couldn't find solutions for the exercises to check against, so I decided I would write my own and hopefully the solutions would get fixed in case I have gone wrong by others. So if you think a solution is wrong, let me know in the comments!
+I wanted to get proficient in Haskell so I decided to follow [An [Essential] Haskell Reading List](http://www.stephendiehl.com/posts/essential_haskell.html), there I stumbled upon [Typoclassopedia](https://wiki.haskell.org/Typeclassopedia), while the material is great, I couldn't find solutions for the exercises to check against, so I decided I would write my own and hopefully the solutions would get fixed in case I have gone wrong by others. So if you think a solution is wrong, let me know in the comments!
 
 In each section below, I left some reference material for the exercises and then the solutions.

 > ((,) e) represents a container which holds an “annotation” of type e along with the actual value it holds. It might be clearer to write it as (e,), by analogy with an operator section like (1+), but that syntax is not allowed in types (although it is allowed in expressions with the TupleSections extension enabled). However, you can certainly think of it as (e,). 
 
 > ((->) e) (which can be thought of as (e ->); see above), the type of functions which take a value of type e as a parameter, is a Functor. As a container, (e -> a) represents a (possibly infinite) set of values of a, indexed by values of e. Alternatively, and more usefully, ((->) e) can be thought of as a context in which a value of type e is available to be consulted in a read-only fashion. This is also why ((->) e) is sometimes referred to as the reader monad; more on this later.
