# Day 1

## Instructions

From this directory open a terminal and execute:

```sh
runhaskell day1.hs
```

The solution for each section will be printed to the terminal output.

## Notes

This is my first attempt at writing Haskell code.
I've always wanted to try a formal functional programming language, and I've heard of Haskell through using tools like XMonad and Pandoc. 
Since I use Pandoc regularly I thought Haskell would be a useful skill to have in case I ever need to contribute.
I also am interested in the functional programming paradigm and want to adapt my thought processes to write cleaner code.
I thought day 1 would be a good day to try Haskell, and something that would've taken me 10 minutes in any programming language I know really took me a long time. 
This is definitely not good, clean, idiomatic Haskell, but it is a start!
