That was one of the first things I remember learning in SCHEME, writing a function called power which when passed a value x returned a function which when passed a value would return the answer value^x. Thus, (defun 'squareit (power 2)) and (defun 'cubeit (power 3)), and (defun 'sqrtit (power 0.5)) were the simple ways to define functions such as square, cube, and square root. (defun (power x) (lambda (y) (exp (* x log(y) ) ) ) | |
