Hi Ada,

It still looks like you might be mixing up ML and HOL. Are you trying to
define an ML function, or a HOL function?

In ML, the conjunction of two Boolean expressions can be formed using the
"andalso" operator.
Now, maybe you already defined /\ like this, and gave it infix status:

infix /\;
fun op /\ (a, b) = a andalso b;

Then I would expect your definition to work.

But please note that this is a definition in ML. If you want to make a
definition in HOL, use Define.
For example:

val ccdd_def = Define`ccdd a b c d = if ((a = b) /\ (c = d)) then T else F`;

Cheers,
Ramana
