This definition will usually only generate very small or very large Word32 values. The reason is the wrapping mentioned elsewhere and the arbitrary definition for Integer: arbitrary = sized $ \n -> choose (-fromIntegral n,fromIntegral n) You would need to manually ask for larger sizes (using Test.QuickCheck.check with a suitable Config). If a uniform distribution of Word32s is really needed then I would go with the other definition. -- /NAD _______________________________________________ Haskell-Cafe mailing list [email protected] http://www.haskell.org/mailman/listinfo/haskell-cafe
