If in ML, an example of a recursive datatype is:
datatype llist = Nil | Node of int * llist
What is a mutually recursive datatype and whats an example of it, in ML?
One such example could be these stupid datatypes.
datatype a = A | Ab of b
and b = B | Ba of a
They make no sense, but they show that it is possible to use the and
keyword (just as with functions) to reference something "ahead" which is normally not possible
They are mutually (as they both...) recursive (...reference each other)
