Idiom #42 Continue outer loop

Print each item v of list a which in not contained in list b.
For this, write an outer loop to iterate on a and an inner loop to iterate on b.

Idiom #42 Continue outer loop

Print each item v of list a which in not contained in list b.
For this, write an outer loop to iterate on a and an inner loop to iterate on b.

Code 
sequence_ [ print v | v <- a, [ u | u <- b, u == v] == [] ]
Code 
sequence_ [ print v | v <- a, [ u | u <- b, u == v] == [] ]
Comments bubble
a _\\ b abbreviates this task if you are not required to write your own printing iterations

Our outer loop continues to the next element whenever the inner list equality test breaks lazily after the first of any [u|u==w] found growing larger than the tested [].
