Although Ocaml provides its own stream data type, we define our own in such a way functions working on streams can be more easily identified and managed. The type is parametric, in such a way we can define streams of different types. *) type 'a stream = EmptyStream | Stream of 'a * 'a stream (** definition of the stream parallel generic construct.
