Atmosphere module
As an example of F# usage for calculations and demonstration of module creation I decided to publish here my code for Standard Atmosphere (atmex 3.0). You can download code or library below.
(* using light syntax *) #light (* module name *) module AtmosphereLib74 (* a structure for storing atmosphere parameters *) (* * Of course, I could use tuple float * float * float * float, * but at http://blogs.msdn.com/jomo_fisher/archive/2008/09/16/f-performance-tweaking.aspx * I read, what returning structures insted of tuples is more efficient *) type AtmosphereParameters = struct val height : float val pressure : float val density : float val temperature : float val sonic : float new (h,p,d,t,s) = {height=h; pressure=p; density=d; temperature=t; sonic=s} end let getAtmosphere h = (* calculations of pressure, density, temp, sonic *) (* and here I create and return a structure *) AtmosphereParameters(h,pressure,density,temp,sonic)
You can download this example as a code or as a compiled library.
To use any kind of libraries you should just add reference to it into your project and use it’s namespace.
