| 2026-02-14 18:09:48 +0100 | <larsivi> | Indeed :) I did also misunderstand the compiler error - I thought it was the result of the division that didn't typecheck, but it was the division itself. Thanks all! |

| 2026-02-14 18:04:35 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | well, this answers why 'ceiling (x / y)' does not work out-of-the-box :) |

| 2026-02-14 18:01:58 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | Haskell does not automatically coerce numeric types like Javascript :) |
| 2026-02-14 18:01:40 +0100 | <tomsmeding> | larsivi: if you want to go via a floating point number, you'll have to explicitly convert first (using realToFrac as mauke just posted) |

| 2026-02-14 18:00:07 +0100 | <larsivi> | for 3/2 I want 2 to be the answer, 1.5 was a reply to the alex question above |

| 2026-02-14 17:58:56 +0100 | <larsivi> | Of course, mauke's solution will also work for me |
| 2026-02-14 17:58:55 +0100 | <mauke> | that's not a ceiling |
| 2026-02-14 17:58:36 +0100 | <larsivi> | I want 1.5 - compiler tells me the result is Fractional |
| 2026-02-14 17:57:11 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <alexfmpe> What do you expect the semantics and type of, say, 3/2 to be? |

| 2026-02-14 17:56:49 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <alexfmpe> Or keep thjngs polymorphic with Integral/RealFrac and make use sites decide the type |

| 2026-02-14 17:55:58 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <alexfmpe> If you want 1.5, convert the arguments to Float or Double or Rational or Scientific or so |
| 2026-02-14 17:55:17 +0100 | <haskellbridge> | <alexfmpe> If you want integer division, use `div` instead of / |
