Hi everybody,
Typically, when you declare:
type card =
| Card of int
| Jack
| Queen
| King
| Ace
;;
The relation you wish is:
Card(2) < ...< Card(10) < Jack < Queen < King < Ace
And that's what you get when using F#.
However when using OCaml here is what you get:
Jack < Queen < King < Ace < Card(2) < ...< Card(10)
And the work-around is:
type card =
| Card of int
| Jack of unit
| Queen of unit
| King of unit
| Ace of unit
;;
Is this a bug or a feature ?
Will it change in a foreseable future ?
