Hi, I am writing a function in which I need to read a string contains floating point number and turn it back to Rational. But When I do toRational (read input :: Double), it will not turn for eg: 0.9 into 9 % 10 as expected, but instead 81..... % 9007... Thx

I'm trying to use Haskells Data.Heap module, but I'm incapable of even using it with integers. The only heap I've been capable of using is "empty", which does not take any arguments. Later on I'll figure out how to instance for my needs, but for now I'd be glad if I was even able to test it with… >>> More
