What is the right syntax for sequencing commands in OCAML

Learning

Why is:

print_int 3; let x = 3;;
Error: Syntax error

a syntax error but not:

(print_string "Hi\n"; 3 > 1) || 4 > 6;;
Hi

do I just not understand the syntax for sequencing expressions or something?

“let” without “in” is a toplevel statement
single “;” is between 2 expressions

Binding sequencing is via let <binding> = <expr> in <rest>, non-binding sequencing (returning unit ()) is via the ; operator, which is used like <expr-that-returns-()> ; <rest>. The ; is roughly equal to let () = <expr> in <rest>.
