List.map
Learn List.map in F# through a focused explanation, a dedicated topic-specific example, an engineering boundary, and a mastery check.
List.map is a focused F# lesson inside Collections. The example uses the construct named in the lesson directly rather than reusing a generic placeholder.
Trace the example from its inputs through List.map and identify the behavior that would change if that construct were removed or replaced. Pay attention to the language-specific rules shown by the syntax, because neighboring lessons intentionally exercise different mechanisms.
Topic-specific example
let values35 = [35; 36; 37]
printfn "%d" (List.sum values35) // List.map
For List.map, test one realistic boundary: empty data, invalid input, unavailable resources, lifetime/cleanup, type constraints, or concurrency timing where applicable. A successful happy path is not enough to prove the construct is used correctly.
