F#中的列表list是不可变的一列数据。列表中的数据必须具有相同的数据类型。任何试图对列表进行修改的函数或者运算符，实际上都是构建了一个新的列表。
用如下方式来定义一个列表：
let empty = []
let singleValue = [5]
let threeValues = ["a"; "b"; "c"]
最普遍的向列表中添加元素的方式是通过cons运算符::：
let twoToFour = [2; 3; 4]
let oneToFour = 1 :: twoToFour
// => [1; 2; 3; 4]
一个列表有一个head，剩下的内容都是tail，即：head为首个元素，tail为除开head的余下的列表。（这和 Haskell 是一致的）
List.head [1; 2; 3; 4; 5] // => 1
List.tail [1; 2; 3; 4; 5] // => [2; 3; 4; 5]let describe list =match list with| [] -> "Empty list"| head::tail -> sprintf "Non-empty list with head: %d" headdescribe [] // => "Empty list"
describe [1] // => "Non-empty with head: 1"
describe [5; 7; 9] // => "Non-empty with head: 5"
在模式匹配中使用抛弃符_：
let describe list =match list with| [] -> "Empty list"| [x] -> "List with one item"| [_; y] -> "List with two items (first item ignored)"| _ -> "List with many items (all items ignored)"describe [] // => "Empty list"
describe [1] // => "List with one item"
describe [5; 7] // => "List with two items (first item ignored)"
describe [5; 7; 9] // => "List with many items (all items ignored)"
