Okay I understand. I made some changes (define delete-second2 (lambda(ls) (if(< (length ls) 1) (append(list(car ls))(cdr(cdr ls))) (list(car ls)))))
it works for when I do the following tests: (delete-second2 '(3 7)) ==> (3) (delete-second2 '(a b c d)) ==> (a c d) but it gives me a error for the tests: (delete-second2 '()) ==> () (delete-second2 '(3)) ==> (3) ________________________________________ From: danny....@gmail.com [danny....@gmail.com] on behalf of Danny Yoo [d...@hashcollision.org] Sent: Monday, September 17, 2012 1:42 PM To: Ashley Fowler Cc: users@racket-lang.org Subject: Re: [racket] Delete Second On Mon, Sep 17, 2012 at 11:30 AM, Ashley Fowler <afowl...@broncos.uncfsu.edu> wrote: > I was just showing my first part lol...but here goes the rest of i below > > (define delete-second1(lambda(ls) > (if(< (length ls) 1) > (append(list(car ls))(cdr(cdr ls)) > list(car ls)))))) There are problems still here, but you should be able to figure it out from the error messages you're getting back from Racket. If there's a particular error message that you do not understand, please feel free to ask questions. The problems you're running into now are minor, but you need to know how to fight them because you'll probably hit them again in future programs. Hints: highlight your whole program, and press TAB. Note that this will re-indent your program. Watch how the indentation is slightly screwy. Also, put the cursor on the opening paren right before the "append". Notice that DrRacket will highlight what it thinks the "part when the test is true". Good luck! ____________________ Racket Users list: http://lists.racket-lang.org/users
