I'd expect the expressions

List.iter (Printf.printf "%d %d\n" e) l'
and
List.iter (fun i -> Printf.printf "%d %d\n" e i) l'

to both print e paired with all elements of l', but I get this instead:

     Objective Caml version 3.06

List.iter (Printf.printf "%d %d\n" 1) [2; 3; 4];;

1 2
3
4

• : unit = ()

List.iter (fun i -> Printf.printf "%d %d\n" 1 i) [2; 3; 4];;

1 2
1 3
1 4

• : unit = ()

This doesn't feel right.

This question is a classic.
It is exaplained here :
