This idea came to me when calculating numbers with my HP Prime calculator.\\ as I said above, GHC calculates well. it's a matter of displaying a number. we can give ourselves a limit in the display of the number which will be for example 5 digits of precision after the decimal point. in a new request ticket I talked about 11 precision digits in the display.\\ I specify for those who have not understood anything yet that it is a precision in the display and not in the internal calculation. \\ 5 digits may seem sufficient considering that GHC is more used in the functional part more than in the intensive mathematical calculation. example:\\ if the number is:{{{79.999999}}} he can become {{{80}}} -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/14377#comment:12 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
