Convert Int Type Variables to Double in Haskell

In Haskell, we will convert int type variables into double by using user-defined function, intToDouble along with fromIntegral, realToFrac and realPart functions. In the first example, we are going to use (intToDouble n = fromIntegral n) function and in the second example, we are going to use (intToDouble n = realToFrac n). And in the third example, we are going to use (intToDouble n = realPart (fromIntegral n :+ 0)).

Algorithm

• Step 1 ? The intToDouble function is defined using fromIntegral function.

• Step 2 ? The program execution will be started from main function. The main() function has whole control of the program. It is written as main = do.

• Step 3 ? The variable named, "n" is being initialized. It will hold the integer that is to be converted to respective double value.

• Step 4 ? The function, intToDouble is being called and n is passed to it.

• Step 5 ? The resultant double value is printed to the console using ?putStrLn' statement after the function is called.

Example 1

In this example, the user-defined function, intToDouble is defined to convert the int variables to double using fromIntegral function.

intToDouble :: Int -> Double
intToDouble n = fromIntegral n

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let n = 42
   putStrLn (show (intToDouble n))

Output

42.0

Example 2

In this example, the user-defined function, intToDouble is defined to convert the int variables to double using fromIntegral function by division.

intToDouble :: Int -> Double
intToDouble n = fromIntegral n / 1.0

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let n = 42
   putStrLn (show (intToDouble n))

Output

42.0

Example 3

In this example, the user-defined function, intToDouble is defined to convert the int variables to double using fromIntegral function by multiplication.

intToDouble :: Int -> Double
intToDouble n = fromIntegral (n * 10^1) / 10.0

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let n = 42
   putStrLn (show (intToDouble n))

Output

42.0

Example 4

In this example, the user-defined function, intToDouble is defined to convert the int variables to double using realToFrac function.

intToDouble :: Int -> Double
intToDouble n = realToFrac n

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let n = 42
   putStrLn (show (intToDouble n))

Output

42.0

Example 5

In this example, the user-defined function, intToDouble is defined to convert the int variables to double using realPart function.

import Data.Complex

intToDouble :: Int -> Double
intToDouble n = realPart (fromIntegral n :+ 0)

main :: IO ()
main = do
   let n = 42
   putStrLn (show (intToDouble n))

Output

42.0

Conclusion

Integer to Double conversion is a process of converting an integer value to a floating-point value of type Double.In Haskell, an Int variable is converted to double using user-defined intToDouble function along with fromIntegral, realToFrac and realPart functions.
