Interesting. In that case, I would agree that portability seems like another reason to define a Bounded instance for Double. That way users could call 'maxBound' and 'minBound' rather than 1/0 and -(1/0)... Frederik On Fri, Mar 11, 2005 at 11:10:33AM +0100, Lennart Augustsson wrote: Haskell

And what would you have minBound and maxBound be? I guess you could use +/- the maximum value representable. Going for infinity is rather dodgy, and assumes an FP representation that has infinity. -- Lennart Frederik Eaton wrote: Interesting. In that case, I would agree that portability

I may be barking up the wrong tree here, but I think the key to this discussion is that real numbers are not bounded, while doubles are bounded. One cannot say what the smallest or largest real number are, but one can say what the smallest or largest double are (and it is unfortunately

I'm wondering if there is any port of Haskell to Embedded systems. Any hint welcomed nhc has been used for a number of embedded projects. As mentioned by Don Stewart, my group at Macquarie has a project to port nhc98 to Palm OS (not quite embedded but some similar issues). An older port

Jeff, Perfect explanation. I got gummed up in the syntactic sugar and thought that = was sugar for the do notation, not vice versa. Thank you for the reminder and clarification. - Alson ___ Haskell-Cafe mailing list
