Exercise 2.38: The accumulate procedure
|
|
is also known as fold-right, because it combines the first element of
|
|
the sequence with the result of combining all the elements to the right. There
|
|
is also a fold-left, which is similar to fold-right, except that
|
|
it combines elements working in the opposite direction:
|
|
|
|
|
|
(define (fold-left op initial sequence)
|
|
(define (iter result rest)
|
|
(if (null? rest)
|
|
result
|
|
(iter (op result (car rest))
|
|
(cdr rest))))
|
|
(iter initial sequence))
|
|
|
|
What are the values of
|
|
|
|
|
|
(fold-right / 1 (list 1 2 3))
|
|
(fold-left / 1 (list 1 2 3))
|
|
(fold-right list nil (list 1 2 3))
|
|
(fold-left list nil (list 1 2 3))
|
|
|
|
Give a property that op should satisfy to guarantee that
|
|
fold-right and fold-left will produce the same values for any
|
|
sequence.
