Lecture Assignment 13

Due at the start of class, Wednesday, October 17.

Please submit answers to these questions either as a hard copy (typeset or handwritten are OK) or by email to terescoj AT strose.edu by the start of class. Please use a clear subject line when submitting by email (e.g., CSC 433 Lecture Assignment 13, Joe Student). We will discuss these questions at the start of class, so no late submissions are accepted.

• Write a Scheme function add_article which takes a noun as its parameter and returns a list containing the word the and the noun. (4 points)
• Write a function snoc which takes a list and an atom as its arguments. snoc returns the list with the atom tacked onto the end. (5 points)

  For example, the function call

  (snoc '(this assignment is really) 'fun)
  

  would return the list

  (this assignment is really fun)
  

• Write a function list_three_sentences which takes a noun and a list of three verbs as its parameters. It returns a list containing three sentence lists. Use add_article and snoc in your definition. (5 points)

  For example, the function call

  (list_three_sentences 'aardvark '(ate flies screamed))
  

  would return the list

  ((the aardvark ate) (the aardvark flies) (the aardvark screamed))
  

• Write a function slope that takes two arguments which contain the x and y coordinates (the coordinates of one point in each list) of two points. slope should return the slope of the line connecting the points. (4 points)
• Write a function reverse that takes a list as its parameter and returns a list with the same elements but in reverse order. (4 points)
