2019-03-07: Racket Intro Continue¶
| Slides: | Finished Racket Intro (4:3 PDF, 16:9 PDF, 16:10 PDF) |
|---|
To do for Tuesday:
An example of a recursive solution for the function described on the last slide is:
(define (sin-odd list)
(if (null? list)
list
(if (odd? (car list))
(cons (sin (car list)) (sin-odd (cdr list)))
(sin-odd (cdr list)))))
This is quite cumbersome as compared to the version which uses map and
filter:
(define (sin-odd list)
(map sin (filter odd? list)))
In fact, some people would argue that using recursion in a functional
programming language (as opposed to utilizing higher order functions) is the
functional programming equivalent to the procedural goto statement.
