    the code is very simple...
    but where is the mistake...notice that it is my first code in haskell...!
    Code:
    comb :: Int -> Int -> Int
    comb n 0 = 1
    comb n m = comb(n-1) (m-1)  *  n 'div' m
    thanks...

    you need to use `` instead of '' (it is kind of hard to see the difference but hopefully you should be able to spot it)
