What is "Call By Name"?
- by forellana
Hi to everyone!
I'm working in a homework, and the professor asked me to implement the evaluation strategy called "call by name" in scheme in a certain language that we developed and he gave us an example at http://www.scala-lang.org/node/138 in the scala language, but i don't understand in what consists the call by name evaluation strategy? what differences it has with call by need?
thanks, greetings
