Hi, (I'm just a new convertee to the ways of Functional Programming, so please go easy on me! ^_^;;) Why is it that `Double's in Hugs only seem to have the same precision as a `Float'? I've some code here that only iterates a few hundred times, and the amount of accuracy lost is getting a bit ridiculous ... Exactly[0] the same code produces the much more accurate results in GHCi. I'd switch over, but at the very least I'd like to know why this is happening. BTW: From the description at http://haskell.cs.yale.edu/communities/ , I seem to get the impression that haskell@haskell.org should only be used for announcements, yet the archive shows quite a bit of general discussion going on. Should I have posted this to the aforementioned list as well / instead? /Liyang [0] Minus the non-Haskell 98 compliant bits, like the missing fromInt ... -_- Took me a while to figure that one out. -- .--| Liyang Hu |--| http://nerv.cx/ |--| Caius@Cam |--| ICQ: 39391385 |--. | A [programming] language that doesn't affect the way you think | | about programming is not worth knowing. |
