Re: Unbound variable error when loading external procedure

Snively, give Racket a try.

http://racket-lang.org/

It even includes support for SICP.

P.S. In the future, please open new questions in a new thread.

Re: Simple Printing/formatting a list in Scheme

Hi, In Scheme, the first expression in a list is treated as a function to be evaluated. You have an extra set of parentheses in the lambda form. This is causing the undesired evaluation. In languages like C/C++/Java, an extra level of {}s does nothing. In the Lisp family of languages, an extra level...

Re: Help with clojure problem

This sounds like a recursive homework problem. Write a recursive function. When descending the tree, - if the node is an integer, return it - if the node is a list, take the operator, recurse into the children, then evaluate the operator, and return the evaluated list When evaluating the operator, t...

Re: print same elements in two lists

The default test used by member doesn't check list equality.
You need to pass a different :test to the member function.

Re: NUMBERP predicate

I should add that some languages like TCL have functions that try to automatically coerce values from one datatype to another. In these languages, numberp might be implemented using parsing rules like "[+-]?[0123456789]*[.]?[0123456789]+". See also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duck_typing...

Re: NUMBERP predicate

In a dynamic language like Lisp, data values are "tagged" with information describing their type. Numberp then checks whether the tag is of a numeric type. These tags may be explicit (see the tag, length, value concept in ASN.1) or implicit (based on where it is stored). Here are a couple ...

Re: Common Lisp interpreter for DOS?

I never had a machine to run it, but there was a PC-Lisp by Peter Asherwood-Smith for that class of machines. You might be able to find a copy somewhere.

It would be good for a bit of nostalgia. It wouldn't be good for a development environment.
