That's pretty!

Nice work on using infix form of calling functions! We don't explain this syntax in our course to make it short. But well done 👍

Nice one! 👍🏼

One note in here, that sometimes, elem could be slower than the explicit pattern matching. I remember there were some benchmarks on one particular case, that showed how moving to pattern matching on each case separately drastically decrease time 🐎 But for this solution it is totally fine!

That is a wonderful solution! 👏🏼 You correctly noticed that it is the div and mod, cool 😎

Another approach could be also using this: you can see that you use both:

mod m 10
div m 10

The standard library has the divMod function, that actually combines inside both div and mod. And this is exactly what you use!.

So you could write it this way:

(x, y) = divMod m 10

You can see how we could pattern match on the pair 🙂

in last + secondlast
