<h3 class="section" id="The-Representation-and-Use-of-Procedures"><span>3.2 The Representation and Use of Procedures<a class="copiable-link" href="#The-Representation-and-Use-of-Procedures"> ¶</a></span></h3>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>This section introduces the basics of using and creating Scheme
|
||
|
|
procedures. It discusses the representation of procedures as just
|
||
|
|
another kind of Scheme value, and shows how procedure invocation
|
||
|
|
expressions are constructed. We then explain how <code class="code">lambda</code> is used
|
||
|
|
to create new procedures, and conclude by presenting the various
|
||
|
|
shorthand forms of <code class="code">define</code> that can be used instead of writing an
|
||
|
|
explicit <code class="code">lambda</code> expression.
