Solutions and notes for Write Yourself a Scheme in 48 Hours.

Env

I used the Haskell Platform. This allows you to install Parsec with cabal like so:

cabal update
cabal install Parsec

Running Code

I used runHaskell x.hs to run my haskell code rather than compiling each time. I used ghci to test out various functions by importing them with :import x.hs. You might also find it useful to know that -- starts a comment that runs to the end of the line. Note though the Haskell wiki calls out comments as bad.

Organisation

This repository is layed out in the following manner:

  • Each page coresponds to a directory e.g. The First Steps book page corresponds to the FirstPage directory in this repository. Note that directory names have no spaces.
  • Each directory contains the code provided on that page verbatim in a file of the same name e.g. the code from First Steps is given verbatim in FirstSteps.hs.
  • Each excersise solution is contained within the page-exercise_number.hs file e.g. Ex 1 of First Steps is contained in FirstSteps-1.hs.
  • Each directory also contains a NOTES.md file which contains any notes I made whilst reading/completing the page exercises.

Contribute

If you think the code here is bad, open an issue with your solution and a thorough explanation of why your code is better.
