Re: [Haskell-cafe] Why does [1.0, 3 ..4] contain 5?

Hi, I don't claim to know the real reason. But I can see that it would make some things more stable or rather it makes the stable versions look nicer. [1,1.1 .. 2] looks better than [1,1.1 .. 2.05] If you define it like you suggest numericEnumFromThenTo e1 e2 e3 = takeWhile (<=e1) [e2, e3 ..] :: [Float] I get length $ numericEnumFromThenTo 1 1.1 2 === 10 length $ numericEnumFromThenTo 2 1.2 3 === 11 Cheers, Silvio
