This list is called "Cafe". It seems you took too much of it at once.
The problem was there: the incapacity of Haskell to deal with the
complexity of the floating-point computations. Important issue.
The original post was answered. You can stop reading this thread.
Now you are juggling with infinities "as such", speculating on what
are limits of non-converging sequences, etc. It becomes sad.
Haskell juggle with infinities "as such" in constructs as x=x.
Normal people - of course - just throw away all these messages without
reacting.
Would you define Haskell users as normal people ? :-)
I react, because I feel that diluting an important problem
in a scholastic discussion discourages people to think how to solve
the true question... Jerzy Karczmarczuk
In order to solve the true question one should first be able to ask it.
The truth is the original poster was sent chasing green horses on the
walls with answers like NaN is 'undefined' and go read this and that.
