Function templates in F#

Question

Let\'s say I am solving a particular problem and come up with a function

let function parameter1 ... = 
     a lot of adding, multiplying & so on with a         


        

Answer 1

One way to do it is combining inline keyword and generic bits from LanguagePrimitives module:

let inline greatFunction param1 param2 = 
    let one = LanguagePrimitives.GenericOne
    let two = one + one
    (param1+one)/(param2*two)

// Usage
let f1 = greatFunction 4 2
let f2 = greatFunction 4L 2L
let f3 = greatFunction 4I 2I
