Dear Sir,
At the risk of seeming a little pedantic let me remind you that
Andrew's remark was in reply to the following message:
start message
Well, actually, this was scanned from a book but the OCR process
wasn't 100% effective. So, I was hoping the list would easily
identify and replace the erronious characters.
Thanks for trying, anyway.

If that isn't clear enough then ...
Regards,
Paul

Ah. Well, given your original question ("why does this code not work?")
it was probably a reasonable assumption that you had written it
yourself, and the problem you wanted help with was understanding the
semantics of what you had written. Whereas if you had phrased your
question initially more like "I am having difficulty reading/using this
OCR'd version of someone else's code", the responses could perhaps have
been more helpful more quickly.
Anyway, the corrected code snippet follows:
qSort (x:xs) =
qSort smaller ++ [x] ++ qSort larger
where
smaller = [a | a <- xs, a <= x ]
larger = [b | b <- xs, b > x ]
If your reading software can be trained to convert sequences of symbols
into phrases, then "++" might be pronounced as "append", and "<-" as
"drawn from".
Regards,
Malcolm
