Hi all,
The slides are available here:
http://www.mega-nerd.com/tmp/firstimp-ocaml.pdf
Anyone who wants the Latex sources can have them in they ask
nicely.
Of the O'Caml resources I listed, I would strongly recommend
Learning OCaml, for C, C++, Perl and Java programmers:
http://www.merjis.com/developers/ocaml_tutorial/
Finally, there was a question on the operation of the list
intersect function that I had on one of the slides. I've added
a little instrumentation to the example like this:
let rec intersect lst =
function
[] -> []
| head :: tail ->
Printf.printf "head: %s tail: %s lst: %s\n"
head (String.concat "," tail) (String.concat "," lst) ;
if List.mem head lst then
head :: intersect lst tail
else
intersect lst tail
;;
let list_a = [ "a" ; "c" ; "b" ; "d" ] ;;
let list_b = [ "c" ; "f" ; "d" ; "e" ] ;;
let inter = intersect list_a list_b ;;
Printf.printf "\nIntersect : %s\n" (String.concat ", " inter) ;;
which when saved to a file and run as a script with "ocaml <filename>"
the output looks like this:
head: c tail: f,d,e lst: a,c,b,d
head: f tail: d,e lst: a,c,b,d
head: d tail: e lst: a,c,b,d
head: e tail: lst: a,c,b,d
Intersect : c, d
Cheers,
Erik
