How to fix “pattern-matching is not exhaustive”,
I want to write function that will add two elements of type eval
type eval = Num of float | Neg | Add | Sub | Mul | Div;;
OCaml compiler gives me this warning, but I do not know exactly what it wants. It works, but I want to make it without this warning.
# let (+++) (Num a) (Num b) =
match (Num a), (Num b) with
| (Add|Neg|Sub|Mul|Div), _ -> failwith "01"
| _, (Add|Neg|Sub|Mul|Div) -> failwith "02"
| _, _ -> Num (a +. b)
;;
Warning 8: this pattern-matching is not exhaustive.
Here is an example of a case that is not matched:
(Neg|Add|Sub|Mul|Div)
Warning 8: this pattern-matching is not exhaustive.
Here is an example of a case that is not matched:
(Neg|Add|Sub|Mul|Div)
val ( +++ ) : eval -> eval -> eval = <fun>
function functional-programming ocaml

Try calling your+++
function with anything other than aNum
. Yourfailwith "01"
andfailwith "02"
cases will never be reached.

The non-exhaustive patterns are here:
let (+++) (Num a) (Num b) = ...
With those pattern, you are making the hypothesis that the argument of +++
are always of the form Num _
without enforcing it in the type system.
If you want to get rid of the warning you should expand the pattern matching to catch all other cases:
let (+++) x y = match x, y with
| ...
