More on Racket Generators

I've been playing around, as I said, with Euler 9, which presented me with the question of how to generate Pythagorean triples—this is the interesting part of the problem (it's trivial, once you

Racket Reading

A bit of Racket potpourri lately as I am reading through some material as well as working on Euler problems; more on the latter after this. One of the reasons I became interested in Racket was its app

More on Racket

Back in the day, when learning a new programming language, I would take a little time and make a random password generator: this is how I learned my first bit of C as a pimply junior high school stud

Racket and DSLs

When I was in college, I took a one-credit LISP course taught by Matt Curtin, and I also implemented two Scheme interpreters for my undergraduate (C++) and graduate (Java) programming languages cou

Dynamic Lexical Scope

I'm working on Euler 9 right now, which is a search for the one Pythagorean triple that sums to 1000. This was a very natural segue into looking at Racket's support for generators—we want to gen

Racket and Euler 4

Playing around with Racket still in the few hours I have during the weeks. Thinking functionally has been a good exercise, but I'm still working through the question of when it's appropriate to use se
