Seq.pairwise<'T> Function (F#)
Returns a sequence of each element in the input sequence and its predecessor, with the exception of the first element which is only returned as the predecessor of the second element.
Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.Seq
Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)
// Signature:
Seq.pairwise : seq<'T> -> seq<'T * 'T>
// Usage:
Seq.pairwise source
Parameters
source
Type: seq<'T>The input sequence.
Exceptions
Exception |
Condition |
|---|---|
Thrown when the input sequence is null. |
Return Value
The result sequence.
Remarks
This function is named Pairwise in compiled assemblies. If you are accessing the function from a language other than F#, or through reflection, use this name.
Example
The following example demonstrates the use of Seq.pairwise. The initial sequence is a sequence of squares up to 100. The Seq.pairwise function generates a sequence of tuples of consecutive squares, { (1, 4), (4, 9), (9, 16) ... }. The second part of the example produces a list of the differences in each pair of squares.
let printSeq seq1 = Seq.iter (printf "%A ") seq1; printfn ""
let seqPairwise = Seq.pairwise (seq { for i in 1 .. 10 -> i*i })
printSeq seqPairwise
printfn ""
let seqDelta = Seq.map (fun elem -> snd elem - fst elem) seqPairwise
printSeq seqDelta
(1, 4) (4, 9) (9, 16) (16, 25) (25, 36) (36, 49) (49, 64) (64, 81) (81, 100) 3 5 7 9 11 13 15 17 19
