Subject: [Caml-list] a question about syntax
Date: Tue, 13 Feb 2018 22:31:14 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <21BC6EDE-DB27-460B-A4D5-BBD583C9E899@TimLeonard.us> (raw)
A simple question of syntax: why does the first definition of function f cause a syntax error?
Shouldn’t the semicolon syntactically terminate the match expression?
type my_record = { field1 : bool; field2 : int };;
let f x = { field1 = match x with _ -> true ; field2 = 2 };; (* this fails *)
let f x = { field1 = ( match x with _ -> true ); field2 = 2 };; (* this is ok *)
