[Haskell-beginners] How to improve the accuracy of floating point calculation?

[yi lu]

Hi,

I found that in ghci, I input
[0.1,0.2..2]
and run, I get a result of

[0.1,0.2,0.30000000000000004,0.4000000000000001,0.5000000000000001,0.6000000000000001,0.7000000000000001,0.8,0.9,1.0,1.1,1.2000000000000002,1.3000000000000003,1.4000000000000004,1.5000000000000004,1.6000000000000005,1.7000000000000006,1.8000000000000007,1.9000000000000008,2.000000000000001]

But, as you know, it is not the exact answer.

So, I wonder if there is something I can do to achieve a better performance
and get [0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4..] as the result.

Thanks.
