[Haskell-cafe] Fractional Part

[Mark Spezzano]

Hi Ata,

You could write the following

decimalPart :: Float -> Integer
decimalPart f = read (tail (tail (show (f)))) :: Integer

This basically says "convert f into a String using the show function, and then get the tail of that String twice to get rid of  the leading zero and the decimal point then read the result back as an Integer".

To use this function you would type at the prompt:

decimalPart 0.123

which gives

123

This is probably not a very elegant solution, but it will work.


Cheers,

Mark
