Re: [Haskell-cafe] Monte Carlo Pi calculation (newbie learnings)

G'day all. Quoting Don Stewart :

calculatePi total g = fromIntegral (4*count) / fromIntegral total

This is slightly more robust in cases where the multiplication would overflow an Int: calculatePi total g = fromRational ((4*fromIntegral count) % fromIntegral total) Cheers, Andrew Bromage
