Remove the first and the last element from a list in Haskell

Question

I am writing a small function which can help me get rid of the first and last element of a list. This is what I am trying to do:

>firstLast::[a]->[a]
>firstLast [x] = [ ]
>firstLast h:t = [i|i!= head[a] || i!= last[a]]

As you can see I am trying to use list comprehension here,but apparently I didn't use it properly.

Answer 1

Why not just this?

firstLast::[a]->[a]
firstLast [] = []
firstLast [x] = []
firstLast xs = tail (init xs)
