Hi,

[1,2,3] is equivalent to [(1,2,3)], which means "a list containing one 
element whose type is (int*int*int)".
first (List.hd (third(0,2,[1,2,3]))) = 1

[1;2;3] denotes a list of three integer elements.
List.hd (third(0,2,[1;2;3])) = 1

As said in a reply to your previous message, you'll get more complete
