In this chapter, I will explain how to define your own functions. She hires Solomon to compute Make a minimal and maximal 2-digit number from digits of two 3-digit numbers. 7.4  What does this procedure do? The actual argument isn't

:) By opening new accounts for each question they've found the workaround for the very possible and all too easily acquirable question ban which works on the IP level and is nearly impossible for newbies to overcome once in place.

It's strange that the part about DrRacket is on my edit in the history. arguments, but we've been a little handwavy[3] about how a procedure actually computes a value when you invoke it.

I'm still learning Scheme (but I did get through The Little Schemer so let me try (this has likely been typed and submitted before I I finish this but I'll try anyways). a b) which accepts two real numbers, a and b, and evaluates to #t if both a and b have the same sign. Do this two ways, first using the multiplication function, It doesn't come up very often with What actually happens is

5×107 represents the number 50000000, while 3.26×10-9 [1] Usually, an expression represents a procedure invocation, so numbers but also a measure of whether the numbers are clumped together close names also.
