[Haskell-beginners] Reading input

[Barry Burd]

In the last line of this program, I get the following error message (from ghci)...
 
    Couldn't match expected type `Int' against inferred type `Char'
      Expected type: [Int]
      Inferred type: String
    In the first argument of `median', namely `lst'
    In the expression: median lst
Failed, modules loaded: none.

Here's the program...

module Main
    where
    
import IO
 
lessThan :: Int -> [Int] -> [Int]
lessThan x lst = filter (< x) lst
 
greaterThan :: Int -> [Int] -> [Int]
greaterThan x lst = filter (> x) lst
 
numLessThan :: Int -> [Int] -> Int
numLessThan x lst = length (lessThan x lst)
numGreaterThan :: Int -> [Int] -> Int
numGreaterThan x lst = length (greaterThan x lst)
 
numLessGreater :: Int -> [Int] -> (Int, Int)
numLessGreater x lst = (numLessThan x lst, numGreaterThan x lst)
 
isMedian :: (Int, Int) -> Bool
isMedian (x, y) = x == y
 
medians :: [Int] -> [Int]
medians lst = [x | x <- lst, isMedian (numLessGreater x lst)]
 
median :: [Int] -> Int
median lst =
  case medians lst of
    -- All the values in the result are the same, we just pick the first one
    x:xs -> x
    
main = do
    putStr "Enter a list: "
    lst <- getLine
    median lst 

I'm sure this is because Haskell isn't automatically changing a String to a List of numbers. But how can I do this?
Thanks.
