All of the examples can be entered directly from the keyboard into an interactive Scheme session. Answers to many of the exercises, a complete formal syntax of Scheme, and a summary of forms and procedures are provided in appendixes. The Scheme Programming Language is the only book available that serves both as an introductory text in a variety of courses and as an essential reference for Scheme programmers.

The thoroughly updated third edition of a popular introductory and reference text forstandard Scheme, with examples and exercises. Describes Scheme, a statically scoped and properly tail-recursive dialect of the Lisp programming language.

Notes that imperative, functional, and message passing programming paradigms find convenient expression in Scheme. This file is very large 4.

Sussman and Guy L. Steele Jr. In its earliest form it was a small language intended primarily for research and teaching, supporting only a handful of predefined syntactic forms and procedures.

Scheme is now a complete general-purpose programming language, though it still derives its power from a small set of key concepts. Early implementations of the language were interpreter-based and slow, but some current Scheme implementations boast sophisticated compilers that generate code on par with code generated by the best optimizing compilers for lower-level languages such as C and Fortran.

This book is intended to provide an introduction to the Scheme programming language but not an introduction to programming in general. The reader is expected to have had some experience programming and to be familiar with terms commonly associated with computers and programming languages. Readers unfamiliar with Scheme or Lisp should also consider reading The Little Schemer to become familiar with the concepts of list processing and recursion.

Readers new to programming should begin with an introductory text on programming. Scheme has been standardized both formally and informally. A related series of reports, the "Revised Reports on the Algorithmic Language Scheme", document an evolving informal standard that most implementations support.

The current report in this series is the "Revised Report on the Algorithmic Language Scheme", which was completed in This book covers the language of the Revised6 Report.
