If number of open brackets is 1, then count the commas, otherwise ignore the commas. E.g. the number of commas counted in the above expression would be 1, so there are 2 parameters total. > > > > what happens when the function takes a string as a parameter and the string contains bracket and commas? e.g. call_function("This will break, your idea (maybe?)")
Yes, that would break my cool idea. However, we can still fix it, just keep track of the quotes too. If we saw a quote ignore everything until we see another quote. Unfortunately, ml only supports real numbers, which makes me sad as this circumstance will never occur.
