Summing a number to the terms of a list

[Vance Shipley]

Jilani,

They're not really different they're just displayed diofferent.

>From the wonderful new Erlang Reference Manual:

	2.11 String

	Strings are enclosed in double quotes ("), but is not
	a data type in Erlang. Instead a string "hello" is
	shorthand for the list [$h,$e,$l,$l,$o], that is
	[104,101,108,108,111].
