Hello all,

I found a good Haskell tutorial (second link on the Tutorials column) (now that I know how to run the programs in it). I have a question. What's the difference between the types Int and Integer? Likewise, what's the difference between the types Float and Double? Are those just synonims?

Ah, that question is about core language types. The relevant section from the Haskell 98 Language Report (revised 2002): http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/basic.html#sect6.4 The report, top link: http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/ Though the report is not the best tutorial for some things.
