As a beginner I want to implement such fuction:
plusSecs :: Num a => a -> ClockTime -> ClockTime
plusSecs n = addToClockTime ( secTimeDiff (n) )
where secTimeDiff n = TimeDiff { tdYear = 0,
tdMonth = 0,
tdDay = 0,
tdHour = 0,
tdMin = 0,
tdSec = n,
tdPicosec = 0 }
The problem here that it's type signature is illegal because tdSec of
System.Time.TimeDeff must be Int type only, but I wish to apply
plusSecs to any Num or (at least) any Integral type number. The reason
for this - to have less compilation errors (that are mostly about
error types) and more abstractedness (generality) of this function.
So, the question is: Is it possible somehow to convert any Num (or at
least Integral) to Int.
Please, tell me if I don't get smth in Haskell type system.
