Confused with the order of the argument F # List.nth

Question

List.nth is 'T list → int →' T , not the standard int → 'T list →' T like Seq.nth .

This makes the pipeline somewhat uncomfortable.

Is there something behind the scenes?

I do not know why.

Answer 1

Perhaps for ocaml compatibility (or just laziness), but without deeper considerations regarding the implementation itself.

Answer 2

This signature allows you to perform a function on this list. This allows you to store List.nth someList and use it to get the nth element of the list without having to specify a list variable every time.

I am not sure why it is uneven in relation to other F # functions.
