Subject: [Caml-list] Why are arithmetic functions not polymorph?
Date: Fri, 23 May 2003 00:31:07 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <147AB214-8CA5-11D7-B453-003065A2962C@gmx.de> (raw)

Hello,

I'm new to OCaml, so I hope my question is not to stupid.

Can anybody explain to me why the arithmetic functions ('+', '-', ...) 
are not polymorph
(in the sense that they have floating point equivalents '+.', '-.', 
...).
I don't understand this, because comparison funtions ('<', '>', ...) 
are polymorph.
So, where is the problem with arithmetic functions?

regards, Jan
