Applies a function to corresponding elements of two collections, threading an accumulator argument through the computation. The collections must have identical sizes. If the input function is f and the elements are i0...iN and j0...jN, then this function computes f i0 j0 (...(f iN jN s)).
Namespace/Module Path: Microsoft.FSharp.Collections.List
Assembly: FSharp.Core (in FSharp.Core.dll)
// Signature:
List.foldBack2 : ('T1 -> 'T2 -> 'State -> 'State) -> 'T1 list -> 'T2 list -> 'State -> 'State
// Usage:
List.foldBack2 folder list1 list2 state
Parameters
folder
Type: 'T1 -> 'T2 -> 'State -> 'StateThe function to update the state given the input elements.
list1
Type: 'T1listThe first input list.
list2
Type: 'T2listThe second input list.
state
Type: 'StateThe initial state.
Return Value
The final state value.
Exceptions
Exception  | 
Condition  | 
|---|---|
Thrown when the input lists differ in length.  | 
Remarks
This function is named FoldBack2 in compiled assemblies. If you are accessing the function from a .NET language other than F#, or through reflection, use this name.
The following code examples illustrate the difference between List.fold2 and List.foldBack2.
Example
type Transaction2 =
    | Deposit
    | Withdrawal
    | Interest
let transactionTypes2 = [Deposit; Deposit; Withdrawal; Interest]
let transactionAmounts2 = [100.00; 1000.00; 95.00; 0.05 / 12.0 ]
let initialBalance2 = 200.00
// Because fold2 processes the lists by starting at the head element, 
// the interest is calculated last, on the balance of 1205.00. 
let endingBalance2 = List.fold2 (fun acc elem1 elem2 ->
                                match elem1 with
                                | Deposit -> acc + elem2
                                | Withdrawal -> acc - elem2
                                | Interest -> acc * (1.0 + elem2))
                                initialBalance2
                                transactionTypes2
                                transactionAmounts2
printfn "%f" endingBalance2
Output
1210.020833
// Because foldBack2 processes the lists by starting at end of the list, 
// the interest is calculated first, on the balance of only 200.00. 
let endingBalance3 = List.foldBack2 (fun elem1 elem2 acc ->
                                match elem1 with
                                | Deposit -> acc + elem2
                                | Withdrawal -> acc - elem2
                                | Interest -> acc * (1.0 + elem2))
                                transactionTypes2
                                transactionAmounts2
                                initialBalance2
printfn "%f" endingBalance3
