Subject: [Caml-list] Newbie question about type (and syntax?) 
I am working through a tutorial and typing in the following example
produced an error:

-------------------------------
let rec power i x =
        if i = 0 then
                1
        else
        x *. (power (i-1) x);;
This expression has type float but is here used with type int
-------------------------------------------------------

I can not see why it is an error and how to correct the code coming
from the tutorial.

Can somebody help me please?
Johann
