List.collect<'T,'U> Function (F#)

Visual Studio 2012

For each element of the list, applies the given function. Concatenates all the results and returns the combined list.

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

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

Copy 
// Signature:
List.collect : ('T -> 'U list) -> 'T list -> 'U list

// Usage:
List.collect mapping list
mapping

Type: 'T -> 'U list

The function to transform each input element into a sublist to be concatenated.

list

Type: 'T list

The input list.

The concatenation of the resulting sublists.

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

The following code example illustrates the use of List.collect.

F#
Copy 
let list1 = [10; 20; 30]
let collectList = List.collect (fun x -> [for i in 1..3 -> x * i]) list1
printfn "%A" collectList

Output 

[1; 2; 3; 2; 4; 6; 3; 6; 9]
