Dear Gap-forum, and Vahid,
There is no problem: the syntax error is merely a warning. For example,
f:=function(n) if n>0 then return g(n-1); else return 0; fi; end; g:=function(n) if n>0 then return f(n-1); else return 1; fi; end;
yields an, admittedly somewhat inefficient, function f that determines
n mod 2 for natural numbers n.
Best regards,
Jan
