Question

I’m learning F#, and I’d like to know how a snippet like this could be written using F# only:

2.times {
  puts "hello"
}

If you can explain how/if functions that take blocks are possible in F#, that would be great as well.

Answer 1

The times function can be written as :

let times act n =
    for i in 1 .. n do
        act()

and can be invoked as :

2 |> times (fun () -> printfn "Hello")
