[Haskell-cafe] Function to cast types

[Anonymous Anonymous]

Hello,

I'm new to haskell, I'm wondering how can you write a function that will do
the following:

fromIntToString :: Int -> String

this is a cast function to cast an Int to a String. I know such function
exist, however let's assume it didn't exist. How would I write such
function? Cause I have no idea, because there are infinity possibilities if
I do it like:

fromIntToString x | x == 1 = "1"
                         | x == 2 = "2"
-- And so on...

I've also thinked about defining the defining the data types Int and String
(I know you cannot redefine them, at least I think so), however I've no
succes.

Thank you in advance for answering my question!

PS: if possible please do not use any casting functions that are predefined.
