Sorting a list in OCaml
- by darkie15
Hi All,
Here is the code on sorting any given list:
let rec sort lst =
match lst with
[] -> []
| head :: tail -> insert head (sort tail)
and insert elt lst =
match lst with
[] -> [elt]
| head :: tail -> if elt <= head then elt :: lst else head :: insert elt tail;;
[Source: Code
However, I am getting an Unbound error:
Unbound value tail
# let rec sort lst =
match lst with
[] -> []
| head :: tail -> insert head (sort tail)
and insert elt lst =
match lst with
[] -> [elt]
| head :: tail -> if elt <= head then elt :: lst else head :: insert elt tail;;
Characters 28-29:
| head :: tail -> if elt <= head then elt :: lst else head :: insert elt tail;;
^
Error: Syntax error
Can anyone please help me understand the issue here?? I did not find head or tail to be predefined anywhere nor in the code
