I am very new to OCaml and am attempting to learn and write a program at the same time. I am writing a palindrome program. I am attempting to get a string from the user such as d e v e d
or Hello World!
or loud
all of the preceding are valid user input. I need to read these strings and display them then reverse them and check if it is a palindrome or not. I did the following code...
print_string "Enter a string: ";let str = read_line () inPrintf.printf "%s\n" str;;Printf.printf "%s\n" str;;
this works fine and will give the print, Enter a string: d e v e d
or Enter a string: Hello World!
The issue comes when I try to add another Printf.printf "%s\n" str;;
into the code. it gives me an error of File "main.ml", line 5, characters 21-24:Error: Unbound value str
with line 5 being the line of the 2nd Printf.printf
statement. I have tried this with no ;
for both of the print statements, with 1 or with 2 and I get the same error each time. Does anyone with more OCaml knowledge know why I get this error.
