Sample programs

Area of a Circle

(define pi 3.14)
(define (area-of-circle r) 
          (* pi (* r r)))
(area-of-circle 10)

Max of 3

(define my-max3 
   (lambda  (x y z)
     (if (& (> x y) (> x z))
       x
       (if (> y z) 
            y
            z))))

(my-max3 1 8 3)  

Adder

(define add-n 
   (lambda (n) 
      (lambda (a) (+ n a))))

(define add-5 (add-n 5))

(add-5 10)

Fibonacci numbers using tail recursion

(define fib
  (lambda (n a b) 
     (if (= n 0) a 
        (if (= n 1) b 
           (fib (- n 1) b (+ a b))))))
                  
(fib 10 0 1)

Factorial using tail recursion

(define fact 
  (lambda (n a) 
    (if (= n 1) a 
      (fact (- n 1) (* n a)))))
                        
(fact 10 1)

Function Application

(begin
  (define (double value) 
                (* 2 value))
  (define (apply-twice fn value) 
                (fn (fn value)))
        
   (apply-twice double 5)
)
