I am reading Chapter 2 Creating your first lisp program in the Land of Lisp book and attempting to use the code in Racket. The syntax is slightly different and the smaller function is defined in Land of Lisp as:
(defun smaller () (setf *big* (1- (guess-my-number))) where *big* is a global variable. In Racket I defined the other vars/functions like this: (define *small* 1) (define *big* 100) (define (guess-my-number) (arithmetic-shift (+ *small* *big*) -1)) My attempts at defining smaller in Rachet (which didn't work): (define (smaller) (define *big* (- (guess-my-number) 1))) (define (smaller) (set *big* (- (guess-my-number) 1))) How can I translate this function into Rachet syntax? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
