I am getting this error
Error: Parse error: illegal begin of top_phrase
when I am try to enter a comment in the interpreter. Are comments not allowed in ocaml interpreter or am I doing something wrong?
I'd say you're entering nothing at all, which is a syntax error.
# (* Hello *) ;;
Error: Syntax error
Try entering something after the comment:
# (* Hello *) 3 ;;
