// When running in debug mode and using Visual Studio to run the program,  
// one may miss the results as the program runs to the end and exists.  
// Since running normally, i.e. Visual Studio Ctrl-F5, will add an pause
// automatically the pause is only shown when in debug mode.  
let pause () =  
  match System.Diagnostics.Debugger.IsAttached with  
  | true ->  
      printfn "\nPress any key to continue."  
      System.Console.ReadKey(true) |> ignore  
  | false -> ()  

pause ()
