Re: [racket-users] Little Schemer?

The Little Schemer is an excellent choice to learn recursion :) 'or' evaluates the expressions from left to right. It returns #f, if none of its expressions returns #t. If one of its expressions returns #t, 'or' returns the result of this expression without evaluating the rest of the

That's good to know. That means my previous conclusion is wrong and I'm not forced to use define/contract when using test submodules. Robby Findler ro...@eecs.northwestern.edu writes: For that kind of situation, you should consider writing your test submodule like this: #lang racket

Hello, What is the recommended way to add tests in racket? I was looking through the racket documentation and there are two options for adding tests, using test submodules or using a separate file for tests (rackunit documentation). Some authors seem to prefer one over the other for example

Do you mean the case where you update your .rkt but don't re-make, so that the .zo is older? Racket will ignore the zo. As a result, although you lose the startup speed-up, you don't get any confusion from it running outdated code. I thought that the compilded code would have fewer debugging

Hello everyone, So i am trying to learn scheme in my free time (unfortunately my university doesn't use scheme in their undergraduate courses) and i was comparing the equality operators in gambit and racket and encountered a strange behaviour with the eq? operator in racket. To my surprise
