8-6-2003 Midterm 3 Review:
8-5-2003 Homework 7-1 Update:
  • Make sure you put this definition in mce before you run it for Question 1:
    (define error (let ((old-error error)) 
    (lambda args (old-error (car args)))))
7-31-2003 Solutions:
7-30-2003 Project 3:

  • Have all partners names and logins on top of each file.
  • Turn in a papercopy of all files
  • To help out the readers, try to highlight all things changed in the files.
7-28-2003 TA does homework & news:
  • Homework 6-1 corrections:
    1. #2: it should say ";; cdr to strip off 'or' tag"
    2. #3: EVAL-DEFINITION should handle multiple desugared defines or one sugared define (as before). Here is an example of using the new DEFINE to create several variables in one go, all in desugared form:
      (define inc (lambda (x) (+ x 1)) 
              five (+ 2 3)
              factorial (lambda (n)
                            (if (= n 0)
                                 1
                                 (* n (factorial (- n 1))))))
      DEFINE should still support the sugared-up syntax for procedure definitions:
      (define (square x)                
           (* x x))
      
      But this sugared syntax cannot be used in combination with the multiple-variable form.
  • Alex will be doing the next installment of "TAs do homework" today at 6:30-8pm in 310 Soda
7-26-2003 Project 3 Extension:

         ( ??
           (apply proc (map ?? streams))
           (apply stream-map
