Haskell - Deal a pack of cards

Hi

Basically I am trying to write a function which takes a list of cards and deals it out to a given number of people. For example, dealing cards [a,b,c,d,e,f,g] to 3 people would return [[a,d,g],[b,e],[c,f]]. The types are Int -> [a] -> [[a]].

I can't figure out a way to do this in Haskell. I would have thought to maybe use two loops in Java but is this even possible in Haskell? Another thought I had would be to use modulus values but I can't figure this out either.

Any ideas would be much appreciated!!

The first approach that comes to mind is: dealing cards 1..N to players A,B,C is the same as dealing cards 2..N to players B,C,A and giving player A card 1.

Another: dealing cards 1..N to players A,B,C is the same as dealing cards 1,4,7... to player A and dealing the remainder to B,C.

Are you shuffling the deck? If so there's no need to deal the cards as you would a physical deck, you can get the same effect by giving the first N/3 cards to A, the next N/3 to B, and the rest to C.

Thanks for your reply. The cards have already been shuffled so they need to be dealt in the right order.
