Ways to Design Programs
1. Think about what you want to do, and turn that into code.
2. Think about what you need to represent, and design your code around that.
Which is better?

History of Scheme• Scheme [Guy Steele & Gerry Sussman, 1975]
Guy Steele co-designed Scheme and created the first Scheme interpreter for his 4th year project
More recently, Steele specified Java [1995]– “Conniver” [1973] and “Planner” [1967]
• Based on LISP [John McCarthy, 1958]–Based on Lambda Calculus [Alonzo Church,
1930s]– Last few lectures in course

LISP
“Lots of Insipid Silly Parentheses”
“LISt Processing language”
Lists are pretty important – hard to write a useful Scheme program without them.

Making Lists
![Page 6: Class 6: Programming with Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568163f6550346895dd586c1/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Making a Pair
> (cons 1 2)(1 . 2)
cons constructs a pair
1 2

Splitting a Pair> (car (cons 1 2))1> (cdr (cons 1 2))2
car extracts first part of a paircdr extracts second part of a pair
1 2
car cdr

Pair Examples> (cons (cons 1 2) 3))((1 . 2) 3)> (cdr (car (cons (cons 1 2) 3)))2> (car (car (cons 1 (cons 2 3))))car: expects argument of type <pair>; given 1

Why “car” and “cdr”?• Original (1950s) LISP on IBM 704– Stored cons pairs in memory registers– car = “Contents of the Address part of the Register”– cdr = “Contents of the Decrement part of the Register”
(“could-er”)• Doesn’t matter unless you have an IBM 704• Think of them as first and rest
(define first car)(define rest cdr)
(The DrScheme “Pretty Big” language already defines these, but they are not part of standard Scheme)

Implementing cons, car and cdr
(define (cons a b) (lambda (w) (if w a b)))
(define (car pair) (pair #t)(define (cdr pair) (pair #f)
Scheme provides primitive implementations for cons, car, and cdr. But, we could define them ourselves.

Pairs are fine, but how do we make threesomes?

Triple
A triple is just a pair where one of the parts is a pair!
(define (triple a b c) (cons a (cons b c)))(define (t-first t) (car t))(define (t-second t) (car (cdr t))) (define (t-third t) (cdr (cdr t)))
![Page 13: Class 6: Programming with Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568163f6550346895dd586c1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

QuadrupleA quadruple is a pair where the second part is a triple
(define (quadruple a b c d) (cons a (triple b c d)))(define (q-first q) (car q))(define (q-second q) (t-first (cdr t))) (define (q-third t) (t-second (cdr t)))(define (q-fourth t) (t-third (cdr t)))

Multuples
• A quintuple is a pair where the second part is a quadruple
• A sextuple is a pair where the second part is a quintuple
• A septuple is a pair where the second part is a sextuple
• An octuple is group of octupi• A ? is a pair where the second part is a …?

Lists
List ::= (cons Element List)
A list is a pair where the second part is a list.
One big problem: how do we stop?This only allows infinitely long lists!
![Page 16: Class 6: Programming with Data](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062501/568163f6550346895dd586c1/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Lists
List ::= (cons Element List)List ::=
A list is either: a pair where the second part is a listor, empty
It’s hard to write this!

Null
List ::= (cons Element List)List ::=
A list is either: a pair where the second part is a listor, empty (null)
null

Returning Problem Sets Problem
Input: unordered set of cs1120 studentsOutput: cs1120 students in lexicographic order
by UVa ID
What is a good algorithm for getting all of you in order by UVa ID?

Recap• A List is either: a Pair where the second part is a List
or null • Pair primitives:
(cons a b) Construct a pair <a, b>(car pair) First part of a pair(cdr pair) Second part of a pair
