Subject: Prefix operators in ocaml
Date: Thu, 21 Jan 1999 15:42:20 +0100 (MET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <199901211442.PAA19110@pauillac.inria.fr> (raw)
Hello,
Which is the "prefix" name in Ocaml for the multiplication on
integers? The symbols (+), (/), etc. work fine for the other
arithmetic operations, but the symbol (*) does not.
Similarly, is there any prefix name for the list constructor (a::l) ?
I am thinking in something like (::) ....
Of course, I could define a function with the same behavior:
# let cons x y = x::y;;
val cons : 'a -> 'a list -> 'a list = <fun>
but this does not enable to write down expressions like
match x with cons (a,l) -> l.
PS: I am working in the context of automatic generation of ocaml code,
and being able to have a uniform treatment for datatype constructors
would simplify things a lot....
Thanks in advance,
Eduardo Gimenez.
