In the previous chapter, we went over the installation of Visual Studio IDE, recursion constructs, and looked at a few basic examples of typical algorithms while implementing it using F#. In this chapter, we will cover built-in data structures: array, list, set, and map, and will present their typical use cases, especially around operations used mostly in functional programming. In this chapter, you will learn how to utilize built-in data structures, and will gain an improved ability to instinctively choose the appropriate data structure (mutable versus persistent) for specific tasks. ...
