In the last chapter, we reviewed graphs and the related algorithms, starting with basic graph terminology and delved into how to represent graphs in a functional programming setting. We then used the graph data structure to implement Dijkstra's algorithm and provided a brief primer to the graphics libraries for modeling graphs.
In this chapter, we are going to review sets and maps, and will explore a custom implementation of a vector. Additionally, we are going to discuss intermediate language and how it works in the .NET ecosystem. We will also cover F# IL generation and compare it with C#.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
Sets and maps
Vectors and...
