Ocaml - wrong type












0














I want check if tree is balanced (It means that each leaf is on the same depth) but I have problem with wrong type.



type 'a tree = Node of 'a * 'a tree list;;

let rec fold_tree f (Node (x,l)) =
f x (map (fold_tree f) l);;

let is_balanced t =
fst(
fold_tree
(fun _ (l: (bool * int) list ) ->
((fold_left
(fun h (flag,first_value)->
((fst h)=first_value)&&flag,first_value)
(true,snd(hd l) )
l))
)
t);;


The problem is there:



((fold_left(fun h (flag,first_value)-> ((fst h)=first_value)&&flag,first_value) (true,snd(hd l) ) l))


Ocaml tells me that this is type of bool * bool but I am convinced that this is type of bool * int because l is type of (bool * int) list so hd l is type of (bool * int) so snd(hd l) is type of int...

          Some pieces of advice:




          • Name your intermediary functions

          • Avoid opening List

          • Avoid using List.hd (in order properly handle the empty list case)

          • Believe the typechecker

          • Use type annotations when debugging with the typechecker help


          In your case, you should have a look at the type of your inner function



          fun (h:'a) (flag,first_value): 'a-> 
          (fst h=first_value) && flag,first_value
