Dear all I was wondering if anyone could explain me what the difference is in semantics between evaluating a function definition in the "interactions window" versus evaluating the same definition in the "definitions window"?
The motivation of my question is the following small Racket program, which behaves differently depending on where I evaluated the definition: ================================== | DrRacket ================================== #lang racket ; Definitions window (define eval (lambda () eval)) ================================== > (eq? eval (eval)) #t ================================== ================================== | DrRacket ================================== #lang racket ; Definitions window ; empty ================================== > (define eval (lambda () eval)) > (eq? eval (eval)) #f ================================== Is this behaviour intended?
