MathComponent Tutorial

Welcome to the MathComponent tutorial!

This tutorial shows how to develop, test, and deploy a simple topology consisting of two components:

1. MathSender: A component that receives commands and forwards work to MathReceiver.

2. MathReceiver: A component that carries out arithmetic operations and returns the results to MathSender.

See the diagram below.

What is covered

This tutorial will cover the following concepts:

1. Defining types, ports, and components in F’.
