Haskell: Converting Int to String

Question

I know you can convert a String to an number with read:

Prelude> read \"3\" :: Int
3
Prelude> read \"3\" :: Double 
3.0
         


        

Answer 1

An example based on Chuck's answer:

myIntToStr :: Int -> String
myIntToStr x
    | x < 3     = show x ++ " is less than three"
    | otherwise = "normal"

Note that without the show the third line will not compile.
