F# Functional Data Structures
This course describes the important data structures - especially collections - available in F#, together with the functions which F# provides for working with them.
What you'll learn
F# and .NET provide you with a wealth of data structures and collections for storing and manipulating data. This course identifies these structures and the functions which F# provides to work with them, including arrays, lists, and sequences. By the end of the course you'll know how to write idiomatic, maintainable programs which solve complex problems with simple code.
