hello all,
im new to haskell and have to do some excersises. Well i ran into this problem. I have
to determin if a list of int's contains a int that is a power. So i have been trying
using "any" with a helper function which return a Bool if the int is a power and
applying that to the list. I think that this aproach should work.
Anyway the problem im having is in the helper function. I have been trying this:
isPower n =
let powerF = floor(sqrt(n)) in
if (powerF*PowerF == n)
then True
else False
but this doesnt work. Prelude says that the definition of isPower needs a fractional
int (if i remember correctly) anyway it looks like something is wrong with my type's?
Could you guys help me out? Is there a simple standard function i overlooked. Or what
should i change? Thanks in advance guys/gals
