Oops -- I'd incorrectly assumed that Haskell guarantees Float & Double to have infinities. Thanks, - Conal On Dec 2, 2007 9:50 AM, Lennart Augustsson <lennart@augustsson.net> wrote:
But that only makes sense for floating point types that have -Infinity and +Infinity.

Currently Float & Double do not have standard Bounded instances. Is there any reason not to use the following?
instance Bounded Float where { minBound = -1/0; maxBound = 1/0 } instance Bounded Double where { minBound = -1/0; maxBound = 1/0 }
If I don't hear objections, I'll submit a ticket and re-send a proposal note.
