Hello,
I'm new to OCaml, so I hope my question is not to stupid.
Can anybody explain to me why the arithmetic functions ('+', '-', ...)
are not polymorph
(in the sense that they have floating point equivalents '+.', '-.',
...).
I don't understand this, because comparison funtions ('<', '>', ...)
are polymorph.
So, where is the problem with arithmetic functions?
regards, Jan
