An introduction to using local parameters in OCaml to avoid heap allocations and reduce garbage collection overhead.
This video introduces how to make and use local parameters in OCaml. As demonstrated in the video, a local parameter to a function is not allowed to be stored or returned. Using local parameters can allow us to allocate less garbage-collected memory, as later videos will demonstrate.
