Re: [Haskell-beginners] import question

You don't need to do any rounding if the list is already Decimal. If you wanted to format a Double with some specific decimal representation you could look at Numeric.showFFloatAlt or similar. import Data.Decimal dList :: [Decimal] dList = [1.00,1.01..2.00] main = print dList On Wed, Feb 17, 2021 at 5:27 PM Galaxy Being wrote:

I'm trying to create a list of real numbers with a two-decimal interval, a la

[1.0,1.01,1.02,...1.99,2.00]

however, I get the float approximation problem

[1.0,1.01,1.02,1.03,1.04,1.05,1.06,1.07,1.08,1.09,1.1,1.11,1.12,1.1300000000000001,1.1400000000000001,...

So I attempted to compensate with

import Data.Decimal map (roundTo 2) [1.00,1.01..2.0]

I don't have to do it this way if there is another rounding function to correct the float overrun issue.

How would I install it globally? I'm not using projects, I'm just at the ghci REPL.

Most likely

cabal install --lib Decimal
