What do you think, what is the Rational form of 2.3 ? (GHCi says 23/10).
The answer is:
2589569785738035 % 1125899906842624
Er, why?
Because 2.3 is not representable using a double precision float or something?
Oh, sorry. I understand Jerzy to be saying that that big long fraction was the result that he _wanted_, but instead the opposite seems to be true. That explains things. :) -- Frank
