Let's take it case by case. (define A 1) is like (def A 1) in Clojure. (define (A) 1) is like (defn A [] 1) (define (A x y) (* x y)) as you'll expect, (defn A [x y] (* x y))
(define (A) 1) is the same as (define A (lambda () 1)) ;; defines procedure "A" (define ((A)) 1) is the same as (define (A) (lambda () 1));; defines procedure "(A)" On Thursday, August 30, 2012 2:48:39 PM UTC-7, Andy C wrote: > > I use Rocket Scheme.
