Re: [Haskell-cafe] Why is toRational a method of Real?

You're right. It's bad to have toRational in Real. It's also bad to have Show and Eq as superclasses to Num. On Wed, Aug 4, 2010 at 8:30 PM, Omari Norman wrote:

Why is toRational a method of Real? I thought that real numbers need not be rational, such as the square root of two. Wouldn't it make more sense to have some sort of Rational typeclass with this method? Thanks. --Omari
