Continuations provide a means whereby heap space can be traded for stack depth (heap space being generally more plentiful than stack depth). They are especially useful where tail recursion is not possible. Here are a couple of simple continuation examples that can be extended to cover more complex scenarios.

Three ways to split a list in half (but not necessarily in the middle). A forth version added that's very short and should be fast, as we only use List.fold. New champ found.

Dynamic programming is equivalent to recursion + some way to remember the results (as far as I undertand) The y combinator allows to "tie" a previously "untied" recursion, which itself allows to compositionally inject additional steps in the recursion. This allows to go from recursion to dynamic programming in a structured way. This exemple is a bit contrived, as there are no overlapping subproblems, which would be the case in more interesting problem (dtw etc..)

I needed a function to generate a tree from a c# class that had some odd semantics, but when I refactored it, I realised almost everyone must have something similar knocking around their codebase, so here's mine.

Less-nonsense 8-line retry function that will retry a function a specified up to `maxRetries` times while it throws. After the retries, any remaining exception is allowed to propagate. Accepts a before function to allow you to wait/report when a retry is taking place

Describes a function called "fix" that can be used to generate recursive functions from non-recursive functions, with some simple examples. (Updated with slightly improved comments.)

This rotates or shifts a list. Unlike http://www.fssnip.net/qY/title/Rotate-List, which runs exponentially, this runs at O(n). In case of overflow (i.e., shift index is larger than the size of the list) will run at most once more with the modulo. This is done to prevent using `List.length` prior to entering the function, as that would lead to a perf punishment of an extra O(n) on each invocation. For large lists, `shift largeList 1` would then get a big performance hit.

Inspired by http://dave.fayr.am/posts/2012-10-4-finding-fizzbuzz.html Rules are in a list of lambdas that can be easily modified. A pattern-matching recursive function applies them in the correct order.

The snippet defines a combinator 'tailrec' that can be used to express tail-recursive functions. If you use 'tailrec' and do not mark your function as recursive, then the function will be a tail-recursive one.

It is well known that it is impossible to define equality between arbitrary functions. However, there is a large class of functions for which we can determine equality, and it’s strange and surprising. We explore this idea using F# code translated from the Swift programming language.
