Hello,
yes that is exactly what I mean, however I mean what kind of value do I need to input in 'a' that gets me an error back? That is is from the Floating class? (Other than undefined)
Could you please explain to me what IEEE 754 is and what exactly is a denormalized value? (After responding, I will google it also though).
Thank you for your help,
J.T.K.M.

I do not really understand this type.
Did you mean something like this:
showFloat :: (Show a, Floating a) => a -> String
showFloat = show
In that case it depends on what type you fill in for 'a' and more
specifically that type's Show instance. One value for which most (or
all) show functions will give an error is ⊥ (undefined). If the type
you pick is some kind of IEEE 754 type then you might have some
trouble with denormalized values. But that is just a guess, you would
have to test for that.
If that is not what you mean than I would appreciate some clarification.
Regards,
Roel
