Seq.fold<'T,'State> Function (F#)

Artigo
04/28/2015

Applies a function to each element of the collection, threading an accumulator argument through the computation. If the input function is f and the elements are i0...iN, then this function computes f (... (f s i0)...) iN.

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

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

// Signature:
Seq.fold : ('State -> 'T -> 'State) -> 'State -> seq<'T> -> 'State

// Usage:
Seq.fold folder state source

Parameters

folder
Type: 'State -> 'T -> 'State

A function that updates the state with each element from the sequence.
state
Type: 'State

The initial state.
source
Type: seq<'T>

The input sequence.

Exceptions

Exception	Condition
ArgumentNullException	Thrown when the input sequence is null.

Return Value

The final result of the computation.

Remarks

This function is named Fold in compiled assemblies. If you are accessing the function from a language other than F#, or through reflection, use this name.

Example

The following code shows how to use Seq.fold to implement a function that computes the sum of the elements of a sequence.

let sumSeq sequence1 = Seq.fold (fun acc elem -> acc + elem) 0 sequence1
Seq.init 10 (fun index -> index * index)
|> sumSeq
|> printfn "The sum of the elements is %d."

Output

The sum of the elements is 285.
