+(* State monad example adapted from https://wiki.haskell.org/State_Monad
+
+ Example use of State monad
+ Passes a string of dictionary {a,b,c}
+ Game is to produce a number from the string.
+ By default the game is off, a C toggles the
+ game on and off. A 'a' gives +1 and a b gives -1.
+ E.g
+ 'ab'    = 0
+ 'ca'    = 1
+ 'cabca' = 0
+ State = game is on or off & current score
+       = (Bool, Int)
