SICP Exercise 3.55 partial-sums

Exercise 3.55.  Define a procedure partial-sums that takes as argument a stream S and returns the stream whose elements are S0, S0 + S1, S0 + S1 + S2, .... For example, (partial-sums integers) should be the stream 1, 3, 6, 10, 15, ....

SICP Exercise 4.18 a alternative strategy for interpreting internal definitions

Exercise 4.18.   Consider an alternative strategy for scanning out definitions that translates the example in the text to (lambda < vars >   (let ((u '*unassigned*)         (v '*unassigned*))     (let ((a < e1 >)           (b < e2 >))       (set! u a)       (set! v b))     < e3 >)) Here  a  and  b  are meant to represent new variable names, created by the interpreter, that do not appear in the user's program. Consider the  solve  procedure from section  3.5.4 : (define (solve f y0 dt)   (define y (integral (delay dy) y0 dt))   (define dy (stream-map f y))   y) Will this ...

SICP Exercise 1.22 search-for-primes

Image
Exercise 1.22.    Most Lisp implementations include a primitive called  runtime  that returns an integer that specifies the amount of time the system has been running (measured, for example, in microseconds). The following  timed-prime-test  procedure, when called with an integer  n , prints  n  and checks to see if  n  is prime. If  n  is prime, the procedure prints three asterisks followed by the amount of time used in performing the test. (define (timed-prime-test n)   (newline)   (display n)   (start-prime-test n (runtime))) (define (start-prime-test n start-time)   (if (prime? n)       (report-prime (- (runtime) start-time)))) (define (report-prime elapsed-time)   (display " *** ")   (display elapsed-time)) Using this procedure, ...

SICP Exercise 3.13 make-cycle

Image
Exercise 3.13.    Consider the following  make-cycle  procedure, which uses the  last-pair  procedure defined in exercise  3.12 : (define (make-cycle x)   (set-cdr! (last-pair x) x)   x) Draw a box-and-pointer diagram that shows the structure  z  created by (define z (make-cycle (list 'a 'b 'c))) What happens if we try to compute  (last-pair z) ? SOLUTION The code is here: Exercise 3.13 make-cycle The box-and-pointer diagrams are here:
