Hi,
This line:
print_int fac(6);;
Can be read as:
print_int fac 6;;
That is 2 arguments whereas print_int expects exactly 1 argument.
The corrected line is:
print_int (fac 6);;
Note that function application is just juxtaposition, parenthesis are unneded.
Regards,

hi
I try to make my first steps with Ocaml and I have some difficulties.
I know there is a second list for "Ocaml Beginners" but its running on
Yahoo and the membership confirmation takes a while ...
So let me ask you, what is wrong with this code
let rec fac n = if n > 1 then n * fac (n-1) else 1 ;;
print_int fac(6);;
No matter if I compile this with ocamlc or run the commands with
ocaml, I always get the error:
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
File "ifelse.ml", line 2, characters 0-9:
This function is applied to too many arguments,
maybe you forgot a `;'
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
What is the problem here? Adding an additional ; doesn't help of course.
thanks
ben
