Scheme Scheme is a dialect of Lisp. It uses a lot of parentheses. LISP IS OVER HALFA I WONDER IF THE CYCLES THESE ARE YOUR CENTURY OLD AND IT WILL CONTINUE FOREVER.

Why another language? The goal of this class is not to teach Python,but rather to teach a variety of programming techniques and core concepts. How does learning another language help us? To see some key components across many programming languages. To see what paradigms certain languages prioritize. To learn how interpreters are implemented!

Scheme programs consist entirely of two types of expressions. Atomic expressions ● Self-evaluating: numbers, booleans 3, 5.5, -10, #t, #f ● Symbols: names bound to values +, modulo, list, x, foo, hello-world Combinations ( …) Scheme expressions
Scheme values Atoms:primitive values that cannot be broken up into smaller parts numbers booleans symbols :10,-6,5.7,4021 #t,#f hello,world Procedures:function objects,either built-in or user-defined 2-14 (1ambda (x)(xx)) 6, 8 Lists:a sequence of zero or more values (123456) (c s 6 1 a) Demo

Combinations All non-primitive expressions in Scheme have the following syntax: (.. A combination is either a call expression or a special form expression. The operator of a call expression evaluates to a procedure. (+23) (abs(/285)) (<48.5) The operator of a special form expression is a special form. (define x 5) (1f#t1020) (1ambda (x)(xx))

The operator of a call expression evaluates to a procedure. (+ 2 3) (abs (/ 20 5)) (< 4 8.5) The operator of a special form expression is a special form. (define x 5) (if #t 10 20) (lambda (x) (* x x))
Call expressions () A call expression applies a procedure to some arguments. How to evaluate call expressions: Step 1.Evaluate the operator to get a procedure. Step 2.Evaluate all operands left to right to get the arguments. Step 3.Apply the procedure to the arguments.

(* 4 6) Call expressions ( …) A call expression applies a procedure to some arguments. How to evaluate call expressions: Step 1. Evaluate the operator to get a procedure. Step 2. Evaluate all operands left to right to get the arguments. Step 3. Apply the procedure to the arguments.

Special form expressions () Special forms have special behaviors that allow us to write complex programs. How to evaluate special form expressions: Each special form has its own rules! ● Some operands may not be evaluated. scm> (define x (/10 2)) X scm> (if(>18)(-34)(/10)) -1 scm> (1 ambda(xy）(+xy)) (lambda(xy)(+xy）)
