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" :: Int123
>>>read "hello" :: Int*** Exception: Prelude.read: no parse
