tail-recursion

Anything like flatten, count-atoms, etc. over nested lists would do fine.

BTW, I'm not interested in a CPS transformation or "pairs-trees".

So I write my code, something like this: (if (= 1 1) ((expression1) (expression2)) ; these 2 expressions are to be executed when the condition is true (expression3)… >>> More

Scheme: Detecting duplicate elements in a list

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
Does R6RS or Chez Scheme v7.9.4 have a library function to check if a list contains duplicate elements? Alternatively, do either have any built in functionality for sets (which dis-allow duplicate elements)? So far, I've only been able to find an example here. The problem with that is that it doesn't… >>> More

Isn't it possible to treat functions in Scheme as any other list? Basically, what I want do to is something like this: (define (foo) "hello") (cdr foo) ; or similar, should return the list ((foo) "hello") I've found a similar discussion about this, and I feel a bit disappointed if this is not… >>> More
