Scheme is a language of the Lisp family with\u003cbr\u003e\nparticularly clean syntax and semantics. It is frequently\u003cbr\u003e\nused in research and education.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFunctional Programming is an approach that focuses on the\u003cbr\u003e\nevaluation of expressions. Programs are formed by combining\u003cbr\u003e\nfunctions. Most functional programming constructs are free\u003cbr\u003e\nof side effects, which allows to examine programs formally\u003cbr\u003e\nand prove properties of algorithms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book  provides a step-by-step introduction to\u003cbr\u003e\nfunctional programming in Scheme. It covers various aspects\u003cbr\u003e\nof the language like data types, conditions, recursion,\u003cbr\u003e\nlist processing, lexical scoping, closures, function\u003cbr\u003e\ndefinitions, dynamic typing, etc. By means of numerous\u003cbr\u003e\nexamples of varying complexity, it takes the reader on an\u003cbr\u003e\nentertaining and informative tour through the language.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nils M Holm","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44228656332961,"sku":"9781111144123","price":32.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0462\/1120\/3233\/files\/1wzg77wn-front-shortedge-384.jpg?v=1748623407","url":"https:\/\/bookswholesale.myshopify.com\/products\/sketchy-scheme","provider":"BooksWholesale","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
