Exercise 4.3.1: (back)
Question: Decide which of the following two cond-expressions is legal: (cond (cond [(< n 10) 20] [(< n 10) 20] [(> n 20) 0] [(and (> n 20) (<= n 30))] [else 1]) [else 1]) Answer: The cond-expression on the left is legal. The cond-expression on the right contains a clause with a question but with no answer. Question: Why is the following illegal? (cond [(< n 10) 20] [* 10 n] [else 555]) ; Answer: Firstly, the clause [* 10 n] contains three expressions, instead of two. Secondly the clause must contain a question and answer which must equate to either true or false.
