I am new to F# and I have this code:
if s.Contains("-") then
let x,y =
match s.Split [|'-'|] with
| [|a;b|] -> int a, int b
| _ -> 0,0
Notice that we validate that there is a '-' in the string before we split the string, so the match is really unnecessary. Can I rewrite this with Options?
I changed this code, it was originally this (but I was getting a warning):
if s.Contains("-") then
let [|a;b|] = s.Split [|'-'|]
let x,y = int a, int b
NOTE: I am splitting a range of numbers (range is expressed in a string) and then creating the integer values that represent the range's minimum and maximum.
