Re: Where is the syntax error

Dear Roelof,

it appears you're submitting an OCaml expression to a bash interpreter, who
alas doesn't understand it natively. Please enter the very same string to
an ocaml interpreter, like ocaml or utop, and this should work perfectly.

One note though : you should use "<>" instead of "!=", the former referring
to structural (in)equality and the second to physical (in)equality. While
in this particular case (with ints) the two are equivalent, this could bite
you with more complex values.

Cheers,
  Philippe.
