Slide 15.6.1 The next stage in the evolution of our evaluator is to pull the 5. Environment as explicit parameter environment out as an explicit parameter. Up until now we could rely on just having a single environment in which to store (eva1'(pus*64)) bindings for variables. It made sense to have a global

Slide 14.4.1 Cleaning up some details of our implementation So we have seen a first pass at building an object-oriented tem, using Scheme as the base. There are a few details that The need for self-reference

The role of abstractions In this lecture, we are going to look at a very different style of creating large systems, a style called object oriented programming. This style focuses on breaking systems up in a different manner than those we have seen before To set the stage for this, we are first going to return to the notion of

Slide 12.1.1 In the last lecture, we introduced mutation as a component of 6001s|cP our data structures We saw for example that set was a Environment mode way of changing the value associated with a variable in our system, and we saw that set-car! and set-cdr! were ways of changing the values of parts of list structure Now, several important things happened when we introduced
