scheme can be a type of plot and a racket is also. Scheme has not been

around for its history, it's impressive. Regards your question of more like
a spreadsheet than run the answer is a good solid 'sorta'! Without getting
too deep
Hi Karlin,
No, not correct, and not a useful analogy.
The lambda calculus is a universal model of computation. Scheme is a
reasonably thin layer over the top of lambda calculus to make it more
practical for programming. Scheme therefore has deep theoretical beauty,
almost no syntax, and is much l

"Iterating over the elements of a list is an extremely common programming
task. However, this is an area where Scheme is quite different from other
languages, and its idioms are very elegant - once they are not confusing
anymore. It is therefore important to reall

My idea is to remove a lot of boilerplate for score creation. Thus I can
