Message-ID: <454FA5F8.5030106@hq.idt.net> (raw)

Hi,

The section 6.6 of OCaml's manual introduces a notion of "Parenthesized 
patterns".

I couldn't find any examples on how to use this feature, and brute-force 
approach doesn't work:

# match 1.0 with
  (y : float)  -> print_float y
| (s : string) -> print_string s;;
This pattern matches values of type string
but is here used to match values of type float
# 

Could anyone point at a suitable resource?

Thanks.

Serge
