[Haskell-cafe] Newbie "Instance Of Floating Int" Error

Hi all, I just started working with Haskell and am having some difficulties with its type system. Here is function that is supposed to calculate the distance between two coordinates: distBetween (x1,y1) (x2,y2) = sqrt((x2-x1)^2 + (y2-y1)^2) I am trying to explictly give it a type signature. Here is what I have tried and the errors generated by Hugs: type Point = (Int,Int) distBetween :: Point -> Point -> Float

...

ERROR - Type error in explicitly typed binding *** Term : distBetween *** Type : Point -> Point -> Int *** Does not match : Point -> Point -> Float

distBetween :: Point -> Point -> Int

...

Instance of Floating Int required for definition of distBetween

Any help is appreciated... Deech
