Learning F# Functional Data Structures and Algorithms

Key Features Book DescriptionIf you have just started your adventure with F\#, then this book will help you take the right steps to become a successful F\# coder. An intermediate knowledge of imperative programming concepts, and a basic understanding of the algorithms and data structures in .NET environments using the C\# language and BCL (Base Class Library), would be helpful. What you will learn Familiarize yourself with the functional programming nature of F\# and explore its fundamentals Utilize data structures available in F\# and apply recursion and lazy evaluation Gain insights into functional programming paradigms; dissect F\# code and analyze code available in community projects Build abstract data structures and utilize powerful optimization techniques such as memoization Explore and test builtin F\# bespoke data structures and algorithms Become resourceful and learn how to easily reuse libraries contributed by the C\# and F\# community Understand the tradeoffs in selecting purely functional (persistent) over mutable data structures Implement custom ADT (Abstract Data Type), and discover parallel programming and asynchrony within F\# Who this book is for If you have just started your adventure with F\#, then this book will help you take the right steps to become a successful F\# coder. An intermediate knowledge of imperative programming concepts, and a basic understanding of the algorithms and data structures in .NET environments using the C\# language and BCL (Base Class Library), would be helpful.
