[Haskell-cafe] Where would I find fromInt?

[Tom Harper]

Hi Paul --

The function you want is called fromIntegral, and works for all Integral types.

Using it, you can add a type signature to specify what you want to
change the number to (Float, Double, other Integral type, etc.

Example:

> fromIntegral (4 :: Int) :: Double
4.0

Hope this helps!
