A better way to map a function that requires IO over a list

Question

So lately I have a list of strings, and need to independently go over each one and perform some IO function.

So basically what I have is this:

Answer 1

Your goOverList function can be written mapM_ putStrLn where mapM_ is a function in the standard Prelude.

You can also simplify your own implementation:

goOverList :: [String] -> IO ()

goOverList [] = return ()

goOverList (x:xs) = do
    putStrLn x
    goOverList xs
