Comment:

 Replying to [[span(style=color: #FF0000, svenpanne )]]. \\
 not at all. not at all.\\
 in his book entitled "Thinking Functionally with Haskell" Richard Bird
 says page 12-13:\\

 {{{
 One of the tools is an interactive calculator, called GHCi...You can
 now use GHCi as a super-calculator:
 Prelude> 3^5
 243
 }}}
 when I write {{{Prelude> 1.1+2.2}}}, the answer is
 {{{3.3000000000000003}}} \\
 But if I use Hugs 98 (Haskell 98 Compatability): \\
 when I write {{{Hugs> 1.1+2.2}}}, the answer is \\
 {{{3.3 :: Double(32 reductions, 75ells)}}}

 that's all.\\
 and you do not see any difference in these two results.\\
 Stubborn?\\
