Fix toString error in Elm 0.19

Many initial tutorials of Elm show us how we can display an Integer as String using the util function called toString.

Example

module Main exposing (main)

import Html


add a b =
    a + b


result =
    add 1 2 |> add 3


main =
    Html.text (toString result)

But with the new version, precisely v0.19 this shows an error.

Cannot find a 'toString' variable

To solve this error, simply replace toString with Debug.toString.

module Main exposing (main)

import Html


add a b =
    a + b


result =
    add 1 2 |> add 3


main =
    Html.text (Debug.toString result)
