Hello,

I know this question must be asked on the beginners list but I still did
not get approved after I left the list.

I try again to learn Ocaml and Im stuck at exercise 1 of the 99 ocaml
problems.

Here is my solution :

let rec last list =
    match list with
      []  -> None
      [x] -> Some x
      [_]   -> last [_::t] ;;

Your last line is wrong:
[_]   -> last [_::t] ;;

try to replace it with:
x :: xs -> last xs ;;

But now I see a syntax error on the [x] part.

Can anyone explain to me what I did wrong ?
