This is a study reference of completed exercises, not a runnable tool, just clone and browse the files.
This repository, called oklm, contains someone's completed exercises from a "piscine", an intensive, multi-week coding bootcamp style challenge used by the school 42. Rather than a tool you can use, it's a portfolio or study reference showcasing one student's work. The projects here are written entirely in OCaml, which is a functional programming language. The name "piscine" is French for "swimming pool," and at school 42 it refers to a trial-by-fire admissions period. Candidates are thrown into a sequence of daily programming tasks and must learn fast or "sink." This collection holds the solutions and projects produced during such a piscine focused specifically on the OCaml language. Functional programming languages like OCaml work differently from the more common languages beginners might know. Instead of giving the computer a list of step-by-step instructions to execute, you define mathematical relationships between inputs and outputs. The exercises in this collection likely guide a student through understanding core concepts such as immutability, recursion, and type inference, building up from simple tasks to more complex ones. This collection would be most useful for someone who is also studying at school 42 or learning OCaml and wants to see how another student approached the same curriculum. For a beginner exploring OCaml, the exercises might offer a practical roadmap of what to learn. However, the README doesn't go into detail about the specific projects or solutions contained in the repository, it only features the school's beaver mascot in ASCII art, so anyone looking to understand the contents would need to browse the files directly.
