Thanks for the info, and the link.
I probably should have guessed the Double vs Float one. I did program in
C a while ago...
Cheers,
Daniel.

Int is for bounded values -2**32 to 2**32 (I think... maybe 2**-31 and
2**31 or less if it's boxed?) based on the underlying machine
representation. Integer is unbounded (arbitrary precision, i.e.
7489571948579148758174534 is a valid Integer). Double is for floating
point values corresponding to C doubles, in hardware (on 32 bit
machines, 64 bit entities) and Floats are half that precision, i.e. 32
bits on 32 bit machines, corresponding to C floats.

http://www.haskell.org/onlinereport/basic.html#sect6.4 for more info.

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?
Thanks for the help.
Cheers,
Daniel.
