Sorry, I should have made myself a bit clearer.  By 'ML' I mean the functional
programming language, developed (I think) at the University of Edinburgh.
Code in this language might look like:

		fun factorial (0) = 1 |
		    factorial (1) = 1 |
		    factorial (n) = n * factorial(n - 1);


This functions would return the factorial of n.  Sorry if my first posting
confused anybody else.
