Subject: | [Chicken-users] redefining cons,car,cdr in SICP |
Date: | Fri, 3 Dec 2010 18:33:09 +0100 |
i'm reading SICP and practicing in chicken. in the book they redefine cons, car and cdr using procedures: (define (cons x y) (define (dispatch m) (cond ((= m 0) x) ((= m 1) y) (else (error "Argument not 0 or 1 -- CONS" m)))) dispatch) (define (car z) (z 0)) (define (cdr z) (z 1)) however it produces an error in chicken: Error: (caar) bad argument type: #<procedure (dispatch m)> why doesn't it work?
