Get Programming with F#

Lesson 16. Useful collection functions

Now that you have a reasonably high-level understanding of collections in F#, this lesson focuses on getting your muscle memory trained to use collections in practical situations. This lesson covers the following:

• The most common collection functions across the three types that you’ve learned about (Seq, List, and Array) with some visualizations and hands-on examples
• A comparison of F# functions with similar LINQ operations
• The differences between imperative and declarative solutions
• Moving between collection types

Each operation we cover has a simple example associated with it, alongside typical use cases and equivalents in both imperative coding and LINQ (if it exists). Go through every example in a ...
