Subject: [Caml-list] Runtime overflow and what to do
Date: Thu, 10 Oct 2002 17:01:26 +0200	[thread overview]

Hi,


suppose I use the following code for fact

let rec fact n = if n <= 1 then 1 else n * fact (n - 1) ;;

Because an integer number is represented by a fixed number of bytes I will
get a runtime overflow if n is chosen too large.

Is there in Ocamel a workaround to cope with this problem . Something like "
Onoverflow goto .. " in imperative languages.

Thx

Scott
