Hi John,
thank you for your reply ! :)
...no, not a homework...
I want to teach myself some racket and hope 'to get it' finally...
Since I am no native speaker I have the deficulty to search for
things, which names I dont know...
One example of my code is:
(define (trim-list lst)
(if (empty? lst)
lst
(cons (string-trim (car lst)) (trim-list (cdr lst)))))
(define (walk-sublists lst)
(if (empty? lst)
lst
(cons (trim-list (car lst)) (walk-sublists (cdr lst)))))
I want to avoid to call trim-list, if 'car lst' returns an empty list.
Instead 'car lst' sghould return the next non-empty list...
I will take a look in the reference manual for 'filter' and 'compose'.
Cheers
Meino
