The answer was CHEETAH
Sounds like the shark CHEATER
might be catty? CHEETAH
Shark is a synonym for "Cheater", as in "card shark". http://www.thesaurus.com/browse/cheater[^]

Cheater never came into mind. I thought of lender, bank and even Shylock..
Good one
cheers,

That's card-sharp! Shark is used for a slightly different kind of cheater, as in loan-shark.
My rejected answers included porbeagle (it's not very good at being a dog so it's a bit catty, see!) and tigerish (tiger sharks are a thing) but I neglected the non-swimming sharks. I'm struggling a bit with the idea that a cheetah only might be catty though!

Can be either "Card Shark" or "Card Sharp"[^]

Well...they are technically Big Cats - Panthera - which is a different genus from domestic cats = Felis - and as such have round pupils[^] just like we do, rather than "cat's eyes". But...they purr rather than roar (you can't do both) so they are "a bit catty" rather than the "full moggy"!

I am going to have an exam of C++ tomorrow, so I thought why not just open the book, swap pages from one to the last one, then close it and go back to Haskell once again. But while I did, I asked myself "Are arrays actually consecutive in memory?".
Along with that, I came to another question, "Why is a[5] == 5[a]?" that was something I never knew about before. So, I went searching for the answers and tried it on my own machine too, to make my mind actually believe that I was accessing the ath element of array 5.
int main()
{
int a[5] = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5};
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
std::cout << i[a] << ", ";
}
std::cout << std::endl;
system("pause");
return 0;
}
For those who didn't know it (just like me!) the logic is that C (or C++) translates a[5] to (a + 5) and then gets the data from that location. Which, is similar to having 5[a] that gets translated to (5 + a). Mathematically, we know 5 + a == a + 5. Thus, compiler accepted that.
I hope, I am not alone who didn't know it yet. I can say I know nothing of C or C++.
For those who want to read a thread, head over to http://stackoverflow.com/questions/381542/with-c-arrays-why-is-it-the-case-that-a5-5a?rq=1[^].

And now that you know it, please try to forget it.
Because if you use that in "real world" code, somebody is going to smack you round the head.

Yep, won't make any use of it. But it was interesting fact.

Nah!
It's for C++ people.

Agreed.. because you can doesn't mean you should.

Will give it a view, because next task of mine is to forget it as per OriginalGriff's suggestion.

I guess it's only for type of the same size as int....

Nah, on that link, it was shared that compiler runs a multiplication with sizeof(a) itself.

Trust me, Haskell is much easy and simple language. Although I started learning Haskell 2 days ago, I think I am enjoying the much simpler and better syntax.
After all, you also like PHP[^].  Don't you Sander?

Much respect for you, to bear so much pain, Sander!
I have just started Haskell, and I am very much loving it. I would give these articles of your a look, you have written a great article for Haskell. You got some more I can pay some attention to?

Haskell has good parts. It certainly changed the way I do my C# programming
I just don't see myself writing entire applications in Haskell just yet...

Same thing here, I may never write entire application in Haskell, but I would love to use a few code blocks and make it interact with the WPF applications.
