If Haskell is a pure functional language then how does anything get done?

Useful programs need to perform input/output or I/O if there are to interact with the outside world. How else would a program read files, print to the screen and interact with the external world. I/O is the process of responding to input signals from the external world and responding with output signals.

Haskell is a purely functional language. Let's define purity.

Purity is the property of functions which when given the same input always return the same output.

Exceptions

All code that runs in IO can experience exceptions of any type.

Remember you can only catch an exception in IO. But it is possible to throw exceptions from pure code. An example of this is error.

Throw doesn't throw until forced

Due to laziness the order of evaluation of expressions can be modified by the compiler. This means that throw can return an
