Fiddling type inference on number conversion

Question

I've got a function which takes an input of type

('a * (float * 'b * float)) list

Where I'd obviously like to avoid having to explicitly include the type.

The problem is that I convert the second float to decimal, using the decimal function.

let v2 (_,(_,_,v)) = decimal v

So type inference defaults to seeing this:

('a * (float * 'b * int)) list

Is there anything clever I can do to avoid having to explicitly include the type signature of the function?

Answer 1

Is there something wrong with doing it like this?

let v2 (_,(_,_,v:float)) = decimal v
