hi,

how do i annotate/specify the return type of a function i'm writing? i
see how to specify the type of the input arguments, but i didn't
figure out how to say what the return type is.

thanks.

let f (x : input_typ) : return_type = ...

oh, thanks! i was trying to use "->" in there somewhere just doing
lame human pattern matching on what the repl prints as types for
things, and i even saw "->" in the ocaml grammar spec for types so i
was figuring the "->" was to be used. :-P

:)

Well, you can always write

let f : input_type -> output_type = function x -> ...
