but I rly wanted to see something special in F# :cQuote:
pls no:D
this "let" there looks like var in c/#/++ or dim in VB.net :D
Code:
// ** GIVE THE VALUE A NAME **
// Integer and string.
let num = 10
let str = "F#"
let squareIt = fun n -> n * n
let squareIt2 n = n * n
// ** STORE THE VALUE IN A DATA STRUCTURE **
// Lists.
// Storing integers and strings.
let integerList = [ 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 ]
let stringList = [ "one"; "two"; "three" ]
// You cannot mix types in a list. The following declaration causes a
// type-mismatch compiler error.
//let failedList = [ 5; "six" ]
// In F#, functions can be stored in a list, as long as the functions
// have the same signature.
// Function doubleIt has the same signature as squareIt, declared previously.
//let squareIt = fun n -> n * n
let doubleIt = fun n -> 2 * n
// Functions squareIt and doubleIt can be stored together in a list.
let funList = [ squareIt; doubleIt ]
// Function squareIt cannot be stored in a list together with a function
// that has a different signature, such as the following body mass
// index (BMI) calculator.
let BMICalculator = fun ht wt ->
(float wt / float (squareIt ht)) * 703.0
// The following expression causes a type-mismatch compiler error.
//let failedFunList = [ squareIt; BMICalculator ]
// Tuples.
// Integers and strings.
let integerTuple = ( 1, -7 )
let stringTuple = ( "one", "two", "three" )
// A tuple does not require its elements to be of the same type.
let mixedTuple = ( 1, "two", 3.3 )
// Similarly, function elements in tuples can have different signatures.
let funTuple = ( squareIt, BMICalculator )
// Functions can be mixed with integers, strings, and other types in
// a tuple. Identifier num was declared previously.
//let num = 10
let moreMixedTuple = ( num, "two", 3.3, squareIt )
// You can pull a function out of a tuple and apply it. Both squareIt and num
// were defined previously.
let funAndArgTuple = (squareIt, num)
// The following expression applies squareIt to num, returns 100, and
// then displays 100.
System.Console.WriteLine((fst funAndArgTuple)(snd funAndArgTuple))
// Make a list of values instead of identifiers.
let funAndArgTuple2 = ((fun n -> n * n), 10)
// The following expression applies a squaring function to 10, returns
// 100, and then displays 100.
System.Console.WriteLine((fst funAndArgTuple2)(snd funAndArgTuple2))
// ** PASS THE VALUE AS AN ARGUMENT **
// An integer is passed to squareIt. Both squareIt and num are defined in
// previous examples.
//let num = 10
//let squareIt = fun n -> n * n
System.Console.WriteLine(squareIt num)
// String.
// Function repeatString concatenates a string with itself.
let repeatString = fun s -> s + s
// A string is passed to repeatString. HelloHello is returned and displayed.
let greeting = "Hello"
System.Console.WriteLine(repeatString greeting)
// Define the function, again using lambda expression syntax.
let applyIt = fun op arg -> op arg
// Send squareIt for the function, op, and num for the argument you want to
// apply squareIt to, arg. Both squareIt and num are defined in previous
// examples. The result returned and displayed is 100.
System.Console.WriteLine(applyIt squareIt num)
// The following expression shows the concise syntax for the previous function
// definition.
let applyIt2 op arg = op arg
// The following line also displays 100.
System.Console.WriteLine(applyIt2 squareIt num)
// List integerList was defined previously:
//let integerList = [ 1; 2; 3; 4; 5; 6; 7 ]
// You can send the function argument by name, if an appropriate function
// is available. The following expression uses squareIt.
let squareAll = List.map squareIt integerList
// The following line displays [1; 4; 9; 16; 25; 36; 49]
printfn "%A" squareAll
// Or you can define the action to apply to each list element inline.
// For example, no function that tests for even integers has been defined,
// so the following expression defines the appropriate function inline.
// The function returns true if n is even; otherwise it returns false.
let evenOrNot = List.map (fun n -> n % 2 = 0) integerList
// The following line displays [false; true; false; true; false; true; false]
printfn "%A" evenOrNot
// ** RETURN THE VALUE FROM A FUNCTION CALL **
// Function doubleIt is defined in a previous example.
//let doubleIt = fun n -> 2 * n
System.Console.WriteLine(doubleIt 3)
System.Console.WriteLine(squareIt 4)
// The following function call returns a string:
// str is defined in a previous section.
//let str = "F#"
let lowercase = str.ToLower()

// integerList and stringList were defined earlier.

//let stringList = [ "one"; "two"; "three" ]
// The returned function is given the name checkFor7.
let checkFor7 = checkFor 7
// The result displayed when checkFor7 is applied to integerList is True.

// The result displayed is False.
