Hi,

here's a web spider program I made for guile, the s48 version might
be a bit buggy. It uses sockets, posix and posix-files only :

Hello,

I have this problem :

Utopia's tax accountants always use programs that compute income taxes
even though the tax rate is a solid, never-changing 15%. Define the
program tax, which determines the tax on the gross pay.

Also define netpay. The program determines the net pay of an employee

data or datum?

comp.lang.scheme - 1 hour 21 min ago
Hello.

I skimmed R5RS, and found there was no `s-expression' or `form.'
Instead there were `data/datum' and `expression.'

I found a sentence:

And I found an example:

Which word (data or datum) is better to represent what is called an
`s-expression' traditionally?

Thank you.

how to design programs problem on chapter 1 (Racket)

comp.lang.scheme - 1 hour 21 min ago
Hello

One of the first exercises I have to make a Faharenheit -> Celcius
converter.

The formula is Celcius = (Fahrenheit - 32) / 1.8

So I did this :

def (Fahrenheit to Celcius)
/( - (F 32)+1) /( 8 10)

But I see this message :

Hello,

Are the answers to the book "Structure and Interpretation of Computer
Programs" somewhere on the net.

I try to selfstudy LISP and it helps if I can see if the answers I give
are correct.

Hi,

this was my first guile related project.
Original (2003) homepage is here (I lost the password) :

I'm improving it after selling it by adding space levels, which is doable in scheme
and a few startup files (for graphics). Guile 1.6 is recommended for it for now!

CSAN

Hi,

I've made the Comprehensive Scheme Archive Network (from CPAN) a reality.
It is a simple file fetcher client-server system written in scsh and thus
can also be used as an actor or agent system. You can implement
scheme CGI scripts for making e.g. a web interface for it.

It's in savannah's sunterlib git repository :

The Little Schemer Chap 5 a question

comp.lang.scheme - 1 hour 21 min ago
Hello.

I have just read Chapter 5 of this book. I cannot understand one
thing.

Question:
I think `eqlist?' is horrible, because I can easily write `equal?'
without this.
It is very straightforward. See, [link]
Why `eqlist?' is needed?

Thank you.

Programming Praxis: Roman Numeral Puzzle

Planet Scheme - Fri, 02/03/2012 - 10:00

The Super Bowl is the championship game of the American league of professional football teams — and an annual cultural event. The first Super Bowl, won by the Green Bay Packers under head coach Vince Lombardi, was in 1967, and wasn’t even called “Super Bowl” at the time; the name didn’t attach to the game until Super Bowl III, when Joe Namath of the New York Jets guaranteed a victory. Roman numerals have been used to designate the Super Bowl ever since. The game this year, between the Boston Patriots and New York Giants, is Super Bowl XLVI; you can solve today’s exercise while you watch the game on Sunday evening.

John D. Cook turned the wacky roman numerals of the Super Bowl into an exercise at his blog; he was inspired by an advertisement for Super Bowl XLVI on a pizza box. Cook asked his readers to compute how many numbers can be expressed as roman numerals without duplicating any of the symbols I, V, X, L, C, D or M.

Your task is to compute the number of roman numerals that have no duplicate characters. When you are finished, you are welcome to read or run a suggested solution, or to post your own solution or discuss the exercise in the comments below.
