Seq.countBy<'T,'Key> Function (F#)

Artigo
04/28/2015

Applies a key-generating function to each element of a sequence and return a sequence yielding unique keys and their number of occurrences in the original sequence.

Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.Seq

Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)

// Signature:
Seq.countBy : ('T -> 'Key) -> seq<'T> -> seq<'Key * int> (requires equality)

// Usage:
Seq.countBy projection source

Parameters

projection
Type: 'T -> 'Key

A function transforming each item of input sequence into a key to be compared against the others.
source
Type: seq<'T>

The input sequence.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the input sequence is null.

Return Value

A sequence of unique keys and their number of occurrences in the original sequence.

Remarks

Note that this function returns a sequence that traverses the whole initial sequence as soon as that sequence is iterated. As a result this function should not be used with large or infinite sequences. The function makes no assumption on the ordering of the original sequence.

This function is named CountBy 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.countBy to determine the number of elements in a sequence that are odd or even.

let mySeq1 = seq { 1.. 100 }
let printSeq seq1 = Seq.iter (printf "%A ") seq1; printfn "" 
let seqResult = Seq.countBy (fun elem ->
    if (elem % 2 = 0) then 0 else 1) mySeq1

printSeq seqResult

(1, 50) (0, 50)
