Collection

List

Ordered, immutable, series of elements of the same type.

let list1 = [1; 2; 3] let list2 = [1..5] // [1; 2; 3; 4; 5] let list3 = [0..2..10] // [0; 2; 4; 6; 8; 10] // elements in lists are not mutable // cons operator 0 :: list1 // create a new list with 0 at the head [0; 1; 2; 3] // extract head and tail let head :: tail = list1 // head: 1, tail: [2; 3] // concatenate operator list1 @ [4; 5] // create a new list [1; 2; 3; 4; 5]

Array

Fixed-sized, zero-based, mutable collectionof consecutive elements of the same type.

let myArray = [|1; 2; 3|] // elements in arrays are mutable myArray[1] <- 4 // [|1; 4; 3|]

Composite data type

Tuple

let tuple1 = (1, "one") let (a, b) = tuple1 // a: 1, b: "one"

Record

type Item = { Id: int; Name: string; } let item1 = { Id = 1; Name = "one" }

Function

let add x y = x + y let result = add 1 2 // 3

Console input

printf "Enter a value: " let input = Console.ReadLine() printfn "Entered value: %s" input

.vscode/launch.json

{ "configurations": [ { "console": "integratedTerminal" // // switch from internalConsole to integratedTerminal to allow console input in VS code } ] }
