Building Abstractions with Procedures

1. The Elements of Programming

1.1. Expressions

1. 486

      1 486
   

2. (+ 137 349)
   486
   (- 1000 334)
   666
   (* 5 99)
   495
   (/ 10 5)
   2
   (+ 2.7 10)
   12.7

      1 137 + 349
      2 1000 - 334
      3 5 * 99
      4 10 / 5
      5 2.7 + 10
   

3. (+ 21 35 12 7)
   75
   
   (* 25 4 12)
   1200

      1 21 + 35 + 12 + 7
      2 25 * 4 * 12
   

   或者

   reduce(int.__add__, [21, 35, 12, 7])
   reduce(int.__mul__, [25, 4, 12])

4. (+ (* 3 5) (- 10 6))
   19

      1 (3 * 5) + (10 - 6)
   

5. (+ (* 3
         (+ (* 2 4)
            (+ 3 5)))
      (+ (- 10 7)
         6))

      1 (3 * ((2*4)+(3+5)) ) + ((10-7)+6)
   

1.2. Naming and the Environment

1. (define size 2)

      1 size = 2
   

2. size
   2
   (* 5 size)
   10

      1 size
      2 5 * size
   

1 1.

(define pi 3.14159)
(define radius 10)
(* pi (* radius radius))
314.159
(define circumference (* 2 pi radius))
circumference
62.8318

   1 pi = 3.14159
   2 radius = 10
   3 pi * (radius * radius)
   4 circumference = 2 * pi * radius
   5 circumference

1.3. Evaluating Combinations

1. (* (+ 2 (* 4 6))
      (+ 3 5 7))

      1 (2+(4*6)) * (3+5+7)
   

1.4. Compound Procedures

1.5. The Substitution Model for Procedure Application

1.6. Conditional Expressions and Predicates

1.7. Example: Square Roots by Newton's Method
