[erlang-questions] help with message-passing syntax

[litao cheng]

I'm sorry, you code has so many errors.
I think you'd better look at the book <programming erlang >, and the erlang
referance manual.

the fllow code snips is my code, but I don't know If it's your need. I hope
it's useful for you:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
-module(serec).
-export([start/0, get_squarer/2]).

seq(Start, End) -> seq(Start, End, []).

seq(Start, End, Acc) when Start =< End ->
   seq(Start, End-1, [End|Acc]);
seq(_, _, Acc) ->
   Acc.

squarer() ->
    receive
        {From, N} when N > 7 ->
        From ! {self(), [X*X || X <- seq(1, 7)]},
        squarer();
      {From, N} ->
          From ! {self(), [X*X || X <- seq(1, N)]},
          squarer();
      Other ->
          Other
    end.

%% @spec squarer() -> Pid
%% @doc create the squarer process
start() ->
    spawn(fun squarer/0).

%% @spec get_squarer(Pid, N) -> Result
%% @doc get the result form squarer process
get_squarer(Pid, N) when is_pid(Pid) ->
    Pid ! {self(), N},
    receive
        {Pid, Result} ->
            Result;
        Other ->
            Other
    end.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%

usage:
4> c(serec).
{ok,serec}
5> Pid = serec:start().
<0.49.0>
6> serec:get_squarer(Pid, 3).
[1,4,9]
7> serec:get_squarer(Pid, 4).
[1,4,9,16]
8> serec:get_squarer(Pid, 5).
[1,4,9,16,25]
9> serec:get_squarer(Pid, 10).
[1,4,9,16,25,36,49]
