[Haskell-beginners] Re: Integer by default.

Hello Lyndon, it seems to me that Integer /is/ the default. Probably you're unifying with some Int, for example when using functions like 'take' or 'length': length :: [a] -> Int take :: Int -> [a] -> [a] Greets, Ertugrul Lyndon Maydwell <maydwell@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi beginners.

Is there a way to get the prelude functions to use Integer by default rather than Int?

I often have issues with Ints silently overflowing silently, but don't often have speed issues.

Somehow I don't think that this is possible, but... Maybe?
