Here's a rookie question that stems from HtDP 29.3.2. The idea is to test an expression a number of times while timing it and compare to another version of the same function. The expression finds a route in a vector (graph) from node 0 to node 4. The way I would do this in C/Python is with a while loop, while the counter is not zero execute the expression (ignore return value), and wrap it in the timer. In Racket I came up with:
(time (for-each (lambda (dest) (find-route 0 dest Graph)) (make-list 1000 4))) It seems unnecessarily tricky, but I couldn't think of a better way. Am I missing a piece? Does it only seem tricky because Racket is my first functional language. aTdHvAaNnKcSe ^ actually unnecessarily tricky Luke
