Output is truncated with #-signs in the REPL
I wrote a function which works as expected but i don't understand why the output is like that. Function: datatype prop = Atom of string | Not of prop | And of prop*prop | Or of prop*prop; (* XOR = (A And Not B) OR (Not A Or B) *) local fun do_xor (alpha,beta) = Or( And( alpha, Not(beta) ), Or(Not(alpha), beta)) in fun xor (alpha,beta) = do_xor(alpha,beta); end; Test: val result = xor(Atom "a",Atom "b"); Output: val result = Or (And (Atom #,Not #),Or (Not #,Atom #)) : prop This is just an output restriction (yes, it's confusing) - by default the depth of value printouts in the top-level
