read :: Read a => String -> a

The read function reads input from a string, which must be completely consumed by the input process. read fails with an error if the parse is unsuccessful, and it is therefore discouraged from being used in real applications. Use readMaybe or readEither for safe alternatives.

>>> read "123" :: Int
123

>>> read "hello" :: Int
*** Exception: Prelude.read: no parse
