I think I don't understand (values) very well. I expected the following to return '(1 2 3):
-> (list (apply values '(1 2 3))) (list (apply values '(1 2 3))) ; result arity mismatch; ; expected number of values not received ; expected: 1 ; received: 3 ; [,bt for context] This, on the other hand, does: -> (call-with-values (lambda () (apply values '(1 2 3)) list) '(1 2 3) The best mental model I've been able to come up with is that (values) returns its results vertically but most functions expect to get them horizontally and will die if there are parallel lines of uncollected values. Under this model (call-with-values) collects values from the Y axis and pivots them back onto the X axis for consumption by regular functions. This feels like a fragile analogy though. Would someone please fill me in on how it actually works? Dave -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
