• Re: X in every language syndrome

    From B. Pym@21:1/5 to All on Sat Jul 6 21:58:58 2024
    The question is about so-called "bellied"
    numbers, defined as 4-digit integers for which the sum of the two
    "middle" digits is smaller than the sum of the two outer digits. So 1265
    is bellied, while 4247 is not.

    [ He means the sum of middle digits is larger. ]


    This checking part is easy:

    (defun bellied-number-p (n)
    (> (+ (mod (truncate n 10) 10) (mod (truncate n 100) 10))
    (+ (mod n 10) (truncate n 1000))))

    Now the task is to find the longest, uninterrupted sequence of bellied numbers within all 4-digit number, hence from 1000 to 9999. And this is
    where I terribly screwed up:

    While the following code does the job,

    (let ((max-length 0)
    (current-length 0)
    (last-bellied-number 0))
    (dotimes (m 9000)
    (let ((n (+ 1000 m)))
    (if (bellied-number-p n)
    (incf current-length)
    (progn
    (when (> current-length max-length)
    (setf max-length current-length)
    (setf last-bellied-number (1- n)))
    (setf current-length 0)))))
    (print (format t "~&Longest sequence of ~a bellied numbers ends at ~a."
    max-length last-bellied-number)))

    Stupid question: why do you consider Scheme using a library to be more
    "low level" than Lisp using a package?

    Gauche is a bit odd in that it has both "use" and "require", but the
    difference is only syntax. Gauche has a culture of distinguishing use
    of the built-in extensions ("use") vs other libraries ("require").

    Gauche is a bit odd in that it has both "use" and "require", but the difference is only syntax. Gauche has a culture of distinguishing use

    The built-in stuff should not require any magic incantation to come

    Clearly Scheme is a Lisp *derivative*, but I think it's debatable
    whether Scheme really can be considered a Lisp *dialect*. Its
    semantics are very different and it was as much inspired by Algol as
    by Lisp.

    YMMV.


    In any case, in that code fragment, the functions provided by
    util.match are *not* built-in - they are in an implementation specific
    library.

    Prior to R6RS (circa 2007), Scheme did not even have syntax for
    specifying or using libraries. Although a number of implementations
    did provide them, there was no "standard" way to do it. Gauche's
    "extensions" fall into this category.

    That is an intentional practice with Scheme, I believe. They don't like
    to standardize stuff until there are implementations out there that
    users seem to think are done right.

    R_RS documents are not standards per se - they simply describe what is considered a conforming implementation.

    There are ISO and ANSI standards for Scheme, but they are based on
    R3RS, circa ~1990[*]. As far as I'm aware, no other version of scheme
    has been the subject of a standard.


    [*] The R3RS document is not dated (that I can find), but I was using
    an R3RS implementation in grad school in the early 90's.

    I think by the time I was leaving grad school in '93 they were up to
    R5RS already.

    Interesting, the R3RS indeed has no date. The RRRS is dated 1985 and
    the R4RS 1991. In think R3RS may have been 1986 or 1987. FWIW, I see
    no date later than 1986 in the references. Then there was a long break
    between R4 and R5. R5RS appeared in 1998.

    I defer to your knowledge of the history. 8-)

    I thought it was an R5 I was using because it had syntax-rules, but
    re-reading the R_RS docs, I see that R4 could have had them as an
    extension.

    R4RS described define-syntax, syntax-rules, etc in an appendix. I think
    the system was pretty much identical to what became "official" in R5RS,
    but I am not entirely sure, because I have always prefered the low-level,
    LISP defmacro-style macros, which many R4RS implementations also offered.
