Does anyone have an explanation how Haskell implement this? Or a pointer to a article describing this?
Just a nitpick: Integers can have an arbitrary but only a finite number of digits. In contrast to that reals have infinitely many digits after the decimal point. There are Cantor's proofs that the set of natural numbers and the set of rational numbers have the same cardinality, whereas the set of reals has larger cardinality. Students often fail to understand that, if they are not aware that integers can only have finitely many digits.
