Applying a list of functions in Haskell

Question

I wrote a function that applies a list of functions to an item.

applyAll :: [a -> b] -> a -> [b]
applyAll [] _ = []
applyAll (f:fs) x = (f x) : (applyAll fs x)

Is there a better way to do it?

Answer 1

This function actually already exists as a special case of a monadic function:

applyAll :: [a -> b] -> a -> [b]
applyAll = sequence
