I just fluffed the To: field in the header, so my previous
message was bounced, I'm resending this ... sorry if it
turns up twice. (I also took the opportunity to make an addendum).
Yo,
Haskell Integers are not a proper subset of Haskell Floats or
Doubles. Haskell does not support real
I agree with what you said,
but I think you may have missed my point.
Sounds likely on both counts.
The same thing annoys me, but my work is in exact or symbolic:
-- I don't claim this is a practical example
-- I'm just saying that it is logically plausible
denominator 2 % 3 == 3
G'day all.

Int since it's trivial
Thank does sound like a pain, but it's better than putting fromIntegral
all over my code. Why can't Haskell unify a an expected float with an
infered int? It seems that this would make life alot easier.

Try fromIntegral, which works for Int and Integer,
Hello,

Try
intToFloat :: Int - Float
intToFloat n = fromInteger (toInteger n)

Use the Prelude function realToFrac.

a library for this, that would

Try fromIntegral, which works for Int and Integer, too.
