Chapter 2. Functional Core with F#

As we have seen, F# is a functional-first language where we create functions and apply them. The result of the evaluation of one of these expressions is a value, and the execution of the program is the evaluation of all the expressions that comprise it.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • F# types such as primitives, tuples, records, and unions
  • Pattern matching
  • Equality and comparison
  • Reference cells and mutability
