Language: Beginning Student

1 Euclidian Distance

Design the function

  ; direct-to-0 : posn -> number

  ; determines how far a posn is from the origin, as the crow flies.

Design the function

  ; direct-between : posn posn -> number

that determines the distance between two points, as the crow flies.

Hint: wishlists & reuse!

2 Vehicles

HtDP: 7.2.2. Make sure all vehicles have wheels

Develop the function

  ; toll : vehicle -> number

It determines the amount a vehicle must pay at a toll. The toll costs $0.50 per wheel.

3 Animals

Extend the animal data definition from class with one new kind of animal. Make sure the new animal has a weight.

Write a template for the extended animal data definition.

Write the function

  ; diet : animal -> animal

It accepts an animal and returns the same animal, but with half of the weight.

4 Lists of Symbols

Write the following functions. Don’t forget about re-use and helper functions (the functions we wrote in class are fair game for re-use as helper functions).

  ; a list-of-symbols is either

  ; - empty, or

  ; - (cons symbol list-of-symbols)

  

  ; contains-doll? : list-of-symbols -> boolean

  ; to determine if 'doll appears in alos

  (define (contains-doll? alos) ---)

5 Lists of Numbers

Write the following functions:

  ; a list-of-numbers is either

  ; - empty, or

  ; - (cons number list-of-numbers)

  

  ; len : list-of-numbers -> number

  ; to determine the number of elements in alon

  (define (len alon) ---)

  

  ; avg : list-of-numbers -> number

  ; to determine the average of the elements in alon

  (define (avg alon) ---)

  

  ; sq-nums : list-of-numbers -> list-of-numbers

  ; to square each element in alon

  (define (sq-nums alon) ---)

  

  ; rev : list-of-numbers -> list-of-numbers

  ; to reverse the elements in alon

  (define (rev alon) ---)
