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,

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
