Am new to haskell, however is this what you mean : num <- getLine let x = read num :: Int -- ?? Greets, Jad Saklawi Tim Stitt wrote:

Can anyone tell me how to convert a value of type IO Int to a value of type Int.

I wrote a simple script to read an integer from the user using IO and then the value is returned from the IO function using

return value

with a return type of IO Int.

In the calling function I wish to do a comparison with the user value and a hard-coded integer. Unfortunately I keep getting type errors between the Int and the IO Int.

I would be grateful for any assistance in this.

Thanks in advance,
