[xquery-talk] Function Call Errors

[Jonathan Robie]

Hi Alice,

The local:distinct() function you declared has 4 parameters. The 
local:distinct() function you called has only one argument, so your 
implementation is looking for a local:distinct() function declared with 
1 parameter. You have to make your function call match your function 
declaration.
