1 A Brief Introduction to Scheme (I) Philip W. L. Fong Department of Computer Science University of Regina Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada

2 Scheme Scheme I p.1/44

3 Scheme: Feature Set A small dialect of Lisp Support symbolic list processing Garbage collected Functional (although not purely functional) Better than Lisp... first-class procedures tail-call optimization continuations user-defined syntactic extensions the first Lisp dialect to support lexical scoping best for building sophisticated interpreters Scheme I p.2/44

4 Scheme: What s the Big Deal? Why learn about functional programming with a Lisp dialect... Python has lambda expressions, etc see also Ruby XSLT is functional its ancester DSSSL is a Scheme dialect Scheme and Lisp are popular extension languages Emacs: a scriptable UNIX editor Sawfish: an scriptable X11-based window manager Guile: the GNU extension language Scheme I p.3/44

5 Scheme: What s the Big Deal? Why learn about functional programming with a Lisp dialect... Lisp is worth learning for the profound enlightenment experience you will have when you finally get it; that experience will make you a better programmer for the rest of your days, even if you never actually use Lisp itself a lot. Eric Raymond How To Become a Hacker Scheme I p.4/44

6 Scheme: What s the Big Deal? Why learn about functional programming with a Lisp dialect... MIT teaches Scheme to their 1st-year CS students Waterloo is following suit SFU is beginning to teach Python to their 1st-year CS students because it helps them to learn functional programming concepts such as lambda expressions and higher-order functions. Scheme I p.5/44

7 Scheme: Standardization ANSI/IEEE standard The Revised 5 Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme [R 5 RS] Scheme I p.6/44

8 Interacting with Scheme Scheme I p.7/44

9 The Scheme REPL Scheme prompt: > Scheme I p.8/44

10 The Scheme REPL Scheme prompt: > (* 2 (cos 0) (+ 4 6)) Scheme I p.8/44

11 The Scheme REPL Scheme prompt: > (* 2 (cos 0) (+ 4 6)) 20 Scheme I p.8/44

12 The Scheme REPL Scheme prompt: > (* 2 (cos 0) (+ 4 6)) 20 The read-evaluate-print loop (REPL): loop read an expression evaluate the expression print the result of evaluation end loop Evaluation: expression evaluate value Scheme I p.8/44

13 Scheme Syntax Let s examine the example in details: > (* 2 (cos 0) (+ 4 6)) 20 Scheme I p.9/44

14 Scheme Syntax Let s examine the example in details: > (* 2 (cos 0) (+ 4 6)) 20 constants: 0, 2, 4, 6 identifiers: cos, +, * structured forms: (...) Brackets are not for grouping! In C/C++, ((1)) is the same as 1 In Scheme, ((1)) is NOT 1 Brackets are for delimiting structured forms. procedure application: (proc arg 1... arg n ) + : name of the addition procedure case-insensitive: (cos 0) (COS 0) Scheme I p.9/44

15 Order of Evaluation Order of Evaluation: When there are multiple subexpressions, which subexpression should be evaluated first? Applicative Order: (proc arg 1... arg n ) 1. evaluate arg 1,..., arg n 2. evaluate proc 3. apply proc to arg 1,..., arg n Scheme I p.10/44

16 Numeric Procedures Procedure Meaning (+ x 1... x n ) The sum of x 1,..., x n (* x 1... x n ) The product of x 1,..., x n (- x y) Subtract y from x (- x) Minus x (/ x y) Divide x by y (max x 1... x n ) The maximum of x 1,..., x n (min x 1... x n ) The minimum of x 1,..., x n (sqrt x) The square root of x (abs x) The absolute value of x Scheme I p.11/44

17 Exercise Look up from [TSPL3] Chapter 6 the answers to the following questions: What procedure computes x n? What is the difference between the procedures remainder and modulo? Scheme I p.12/44

18 Scheme Programs Scheme I p.13/44

19 lambda Expressions An anonymous procedure: (lambda (x) (* x 2)) (lambda...) - a name-less procedure (x) - parameter list (* x 2) - procedure body Applying the procedure: > ((lambda (x) (* x 2)) 3) 6 The value of a procedure application is obtained by 1. substituting the actual arguments for the formal parameters in the procedure body 2. evaluating the procedure body Scheme I p.14/44

20 Top-Level Definitions > (define y 3) Scheme I p.15/44

21 Top-Level Definitions > (define y 3) > y 3 Scheme I p.15/44

22 Top-Level Definitions > (define y 3) > y 3 > (define double (lambda (x) (* x 2))) Scheme I p.15/44

23 Top-Level Definitions > (define y 3) > y 3 > (define double (lambda (x) (* x 2))) > (double 3) 6 Scheme I p.15/44

24 Top-Level Definitions > (define y 3) > y 3 > (define double (lambda (x) (* x 2))) > (double 3) 6 > (double (double 3)) 12 Scheme I p.15/44

25 Storing Programs in Files Demonstration Edit program Syntax-check program Run program Scheme I p.16/44

26 Functional Programming Scheme I p.17/44

27 Imperative Programming Mutable global state assignment statements modify variable bindings Command = state transformer state 1 command state 2 Program = sequence of commands Scheme I p.18/44

28 Functional Programming No side effect allowed No assignment statement! Every expression denotes a unique value: expression evaluate value Referential transparency variable bindings do not mutate evaluating an expression always yields the same value Scheme I p.19/44

29 The Functional Fragment of Scheme Scheme supports both the imperative and functional paradigm of programming In the first half of the course, we focus on the functional fragement of Scheme. i.e., programming with expressions that do not produce side effects Scheme I p.20/44

30 Conditional Expressions Scheme I p.21/44

31 Boolean Values Boolean values: #t, #f Anything that is not #f is considered true. A procedure that returns a boolean value is called a predicate. Scheme I p.22/44

32 Example: absolute-value abs(x) = { x if x < 0 x otherwise (define absolute-value (lambda (x) (if (negative? x) (- x) x))) Scheme I p.23/44

33 Conditional Form if (if test-expression true-expression false-expression) 1. Evaluate test-expression. 2. If test-expression evaluates to true then evaluate true-expression and return its value. 3. Otherwise, evaluate false-expression and return its value. Scheme I p.24/44

34 Numeric Predicates Predicate (zero? x) (positive? x) (negative? x) (even? x) (odd? x) Meaning x is zero x is positive x is negative x is even x is odd Scheme I p.25/44

35 Relational Predicates Predicate Meaning (= x y) x is equal to y (< x y) x is less than y (< x y) x is greater than y (<= x y) x is no greater than y (>= x y) x is no less than y Scheme I p.26/44

36 Type Predicates Predicate (number? x) (boolean? x) Meaning x is a number x is a Boolean value (i.e., #t, #f) Scheme I p.27/44

37 Example: sign sign(x) = (define sign (lambda (x) (cond ((positive? x) 1) ((zero? x) 0) (else -1)))) 1 if x > 0 0 if x = 0 1 otherwise Scheme I p.28/44

38 Conditional Form cond (cond (test 1 expr 1 ) (test 1 expr 2 )... (test n expr n ) (else default)) 1. Evaluate test 1, test 2,..., test n in the order they appear. 2. If some test i evaluates to true, then stop evaluating the rest of the test expressions, but instead evaluate expr i and return its value. 3. Otherwise, evaluate default and return its value. Scheme I p.29/44

39 More Conditional Forms Forms (or x 1... x n ) (and x 1... x n ) (not x) Meaning Logical or Logical and Logical negation These are not procedures. Example: (or x 1... x n ) Evaluate x 1,..., x n in the order they appear If any of the arguments evaluates to true, return true rightaway without evaluating the rest of the arguments. Otherwise, return #f. Scheme I p.30/44

40 Exercise Rewrite (not x) into an equivalent expression using only the if form. Rewrite (and x 1... x n ) into an equivalent expression using only the cond form. The definition of and in terms of cond is only an approximation. Check out [TSPL3] Sect. 5.3 to see why. Scheme I p.31/44

41 Equational Reasoning Scheme I p.32/44

42 Equational Reasoning We grow up knowing equational reasoning by heart: (1 + 2) (3 4) = 3 (3 4) = 3 1 = 3 Because of referential transparency, the behavior of functional programs can be understood using equational reasoning! Scheme I p.33/44

43 Example: double (double (double 3)) = (double ((lambda (x) (* x 2)) 3)) = (double (* 3 2)) = (double 6) = ((lambda (x) (* x 2)) 6) = (* 6 2) = 12 Scheme I p.34/44

44 Example: absolute-value (absolute-value -3) = ((lambda (x) (if (negative? x) (- x) x)) -3) = (if (negative? -3) (- -3) -3) = (if #t (- -3) -3) = (- -3) = 3 Scheme I p.35/44

45 Recursion Scheme I p.36/44

46 Recursion vs Iteration In imperative programming languages, repetition can be achieved by iterative constructs such as for or while. In functional programming languages, repetition is mainly achieved by recursion. Scheme I p.37/44

47 Example: triangular (1) triangular(n) = n { 1 if n = 1 = n + triangular(n 1) otherwise (define triangular (lambda (n) (if (= n 1) 1 (+ n (triangular (- n 1)))))) Scheme I p.38/44

48 Example: triangular (2) > (trace triangular) > (triangular 3) (triangular 3) (triangular 2) (triangular 1) > (untrace triangular) Scheme I p.39/44

49 Example: triangular (3) (triangular 3) = ((lambda (n) (if (= n 1) 1 (+ n (triangular (- n 1))))) 3) = (if (= 3 1) 1 (+ 3 (triangular (- 3 1)))) = (if #f 1 (+ 3 (triangular (- 3 1)))) = (+ 3 (triangular (- 3 1))) = (+ 3 (triangular 2)) = (+ 3 (if (= 2 1) 1 (+ 2 (triangular (- 2 1))))) = (+ 3 (+ 2 (triangular (- 2 1)))) = (+ 3 (+ 2 (triangular 1))) = (+ 3 (+ 2 (if (= 1 1) 1 (+ 1 (triangular (- 1 1)))))) = (+ 3 (+ 2 1)) = (+ 3 3) = 6 Scheme I p.40/44

50 Example: power (1) x n = { 1 if n = 0 x x n 1 if n > 0 (define power (lambda (x n) (if (zero? n) 1 (* x (power x (- n 1)))))) Scheme I p.41/44

51 Example: power (2) > (power 2 4) (power 2 4) (power 2 3) (power 2 2) (power 2 1) (power 2 0) Scheme I p.42/44

52 Exercise Use equational reasoning to trace the execution of (power 2 4). Scheme I p.43/44
