title: How To Change List of Chars To String?
body: <p>In F# I want to transform a list of chars into a string.  Consider the following code:</p>
  
  <pre><code>let lChars = ['a';'b';'c']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I simply do <em>lChars.ToString</em>, I get <em>"['a';'b';'c']"</em>.  I'm trying to get <em>"abc"</em>.  I realize I could probably do a List.reduce to get the effect I'm looking for but it seems like there should be some primitive built into the library to do this. </p>
  
  <p>To give a little context to this, I'm doing some manipulation on individual characters in a string and when I'm done, I want to display the resulting string.   </p>
  
  <p>I've tried googling this and no joy that way.  Do I need to just bite the bullet and build a List.reduce expression to do this transformation or is there some more elegant way to do this?</p>
