Subject: [Caml-list] ** and -. precedence
Date: Thu, 26 Sep 2002 22:18:10 +0200 (CEST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20020926.221810.76098119.Christophe.Troestler@umh.ac.be> (raw)
Hi all,
I was wondering whether there is a reason for the relative precedence
of "-." and "**". This is because with the current rules
-. x**2.
means (-. x)**2. instead of -.(x**2.). However, from a mathematical
point of view,
-x^2
means -(x^2) and never (-x)^2 ...
Actually, if nobody objects, I would be in favor of permuting the
precedences so -. x**2. actually means -.(x**2.) --- in accordance to
the usual mathematical syntax.
Cheers,
ChriS
