Re: [Haskell-beginners] Generating Random Float

However, if I try to generate a Float instead, I always get an Arithmetic Overflow error that I can not understand.

Code:

rand :: IO Float rand = do r <- newStdGen let (x1, r2) = randomR (0.0::Float,1.0::Float) r print x1 return x1

Works here. And it should. Must be the implementation you use, though I can't imagine why it would screw up on this.

Do you have any clue why this happens?

Thanks in advance,
