What the hell is a function called "nub" (given type: [Int] -> [Int]) supposed to do? I love instructors that don't give details
@elomatreb the idea is that the nub of a list (its gist, main point) is the unique elements of that list
it doesn't make sense even when you know what a nub is tbh. the main point of lists (over, say, sets) is that they can contain duplicates. so who even knows
@elomatreb yeah, haskell has some friggin weird function names, that's one of the worst imho. 'uniq' or even 'unique' spelt out in full would be way better
@00dani I have never heard it used like that, but it appears you're right
I still don't get why it isn't named dedup or unique or something like that though
