Hi

I am a newbie with F# and has been creating a function which calculates power of n for any integer. I wanted to result to hold very large values like 5^5000.

I created following function for the same

open Microsoft.FSharp.Math.BigInt

let rec Power (x:bigint) (y:bigint) = if y=of_int 1 then x else x* Power of_int x of_int y-1

However, when compiled i am getting following error.

Error 1 This value is not a function and cannot be applied
Error 2 This value is not a function and cannot be applied

I have "bolded" the place where the error is being shown.

If i put a braces around the arguements of power, i am getting following error.
Error 1 Expecting a type supporting the operator '*' but given a function type. Are you missing an argument to a function?

Can any one please guide me ?? Also can anyone please tell how i can accept parameters as int and return as bigint ??

Thanks n Regards
