When trying to define the function

maximum' :: (Ord a) => [a] -> a
maximum' = foldrl (\x acc -> if x > acc then x else acc)

ghci reports the error:

Why isn't the function foldrl in scope?

Ohhh, you want foldr1 not foldrl, the last character is a 1, not an l

I think you mean foldr1 (last character is the digit 1), not foldrl.
