  • Composing a list of functions

    Composition of functions in F# is easily achieved by using the >> operator. You can also chain an arbitary amount of functions (represented as a list or sequence) together by folding the list/seq with >>. [More formally: the set of endomorphisms 'a -> 'a forms a monoid with the binary, associative operator ">>" (or "<<") and the neutral element "id".]

  • Active pattern for let binding inside patterns

    The Let active pattern demonstrated by this snippet can be used to assign values to symbols in pattern matching. This is useful for writing complex pattern matching using match as we can handle multiple cases using a single clause.

  • Break sequence into n-element subsequences

    I'm working on parallel computations and I thought it would be useful to break work into chunks, especially when processing each element asynchronously is too expensive. The neat thing is that this function is general even though motivation for it is specific. Another neat thing is that this is true lazy sequence unlike what you'd get if you used Seq.groupBy. There are three versions for your enjoyment.

  • Projecting lists

    Three functions showing how to implement projection for functional lists. First version uses naive recursion and the second one is tail-recursive using the accumulator parameter. The third version extends this with continuation passing.

  • FSX Structure

    I use this basic template when writing .fsx files that I might want to compile. It adjusts the difference in command line/entrypoint handling between a script and a compiled assembly. This example shows the details for a WPF script — replace the #r's and/or remove the STAThread for a WinForms or Console script.
