That error messages disappear.<br>
<br>
As I understand it right. The eror message is
on all functions so on the square, circle and
triangle functions.<br>
And if not so, why also not a error functions
on the other two.<br>

I have this programm :<br>
<br>
-module(shapes).<br>
<br>
-import(math, [sqrt/1]).<br>
<br>
area({square, Side}) -><br>
Side * Side ;<br>

area({circle, Radius}) -><br>
math:pi() * Radius * Radius;<br>
<br>
area({triangle, A, B, C}) -><br>
S = (A + B + C)/2,<br>
math:sqrt(S*(S-A)*(S-B)*(S-C));<br>
<br>
area(Other) -><br>
{error, invalid_object}.<br>
<br>
<br>
As soon I as try to compile it , I see
these messages :<br>
<br>
<br>
6> c(shapes).<br>
shapes.erl:5: Warning: function area/1
is unused<br>
shapes.erl:15: Warning: variable
'Other' is unused<br>
<br>
Why does Erlang do this?<br>
On compile time you cannot see which
functions are used and which not in my
oponion.<br>
