# The "Computation Expressions" Series

In this series, you'll learn what computation expressions are, some common patterns, and how to make your own. In the process, we'll also look at continuations, the bind function, wrapper types, and more.

* [Computation expressions: Introduction](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-intro.md). Unwrapping the enigma....
* [Understanding continuations](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-continuations.md). How 'let' works behind the scenes.
* [Introducing 'bind'](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-bind.md). Steps towards creating our own 'let!' .
* [Computation expressions and wrapper types](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-wrapper-types.md). Using types to assist the workflow.
* [More on wrapper types](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-wrapper-types-part2.md). We discover that even lists can be wrapper types.
* [Implementing a builder: Zero and Yield](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part1.md). Getting started with the basic builder methods.
* [Implementing a builder: Combine](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part2.md). How to return multiple values at once.
* [Implementing a builder: Delay and Run](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part3.md). Controlling when functions execute.
* [Implementing a builder: Overloading](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part4.md). Stupid method tricks.
* [Implementing a builder: Adding laziness](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part5.md). Delaying a workflow externally.
* [Implementing a builder: The rest of the standard methods](/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions/computation-expressions-builder-part6.md). Implementing While, Using, and exception handling.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://swlaschin.gitbook.io/fsharpforfunandprofit/understanding-f/computation-expressions.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
