My first attempt at "coding" in Standard ML.

factorial.sml

(* factorial *)

(* my first Standard ML ``program'' *)

(* see the excellent tutorial at *)
(* http://www.soc.napier.ac.uk/course-notes/sml/manual.html *)


fun factorial(1) = 1
|	factorial(n) = n * factorial(n-1);

print (Int.toString(factorial(10)));
