Fractional package:ghc-lib-parser

Fractional numbers, supporting real division. The Haskell Report defines no laws for Fractional. However, (+) and (*) are customarily expected to define a division ring and have the following properties:

• recip gives the multiplicative inverse x * recip x = recip x * x = fromInteger 1
• Totality of toRational toRational is total
• Coherence with toRational if the type also implements Real, then fromRational is a left inverse for toRational, i.e. fromRational (toRational i) = i

Note that it isn't customarily expected that a type instance of Fractional implement a field. However, all instances in base do.

Fractional Literal Used (instead of Rational) to represent exactly the floating point literal that we encountered in the user's source program. This allows us to pretty-print exactly what the user wrote, which is important e.g. for floating point numbers that can't represented as Doubles (we used to via Double for pretty-printing). See also #2245. Note [FractionalLit representation] in GHC.HsToCore.Match.Literal The actual value then is: sign * fl_signi * (fl_exp_base^fl_exp) where sign = if fl_neg then (-1) else 1 For example FL { fl_neg = True, fl_signi = 5.3, fl_exp = 4, fl_exp_base = Base10 } denotes -5300

The integer should already be negated if it's negative.

The arguments should already be negated if they are negative.
