F# passing an operator with arguments to a function

Question

Can you pass in an operation like \"divide by 2\" or \"subtract 1\" using just a partially applied operator, where \"add 1\" looks like this:

List.map ((+) 1         


        

Answer 1

You could write a flip function, something like:

let flip f x y = f y x

List.map (flip (-) 1) [2;4;6]

I may have the syntax wrong, I'm not terribly fluent in F#.
