a 2 1 Box and Pointer Diagram • (define a (cons 1 2)) • A pair can be implemented directly using two “pointers”. • Originally on IBM 704: • (car a)Contents of Address part of Register • (cdr a)Contents of Decrement part of Register
Pair: A primitive data type. Constructor: (cons a b) Selectors: (car p) (cdr p) Guarantee:(car (cons a b)) = a (cdr (cons a b)) = b Abstraction barrier: We say nothing about the representation or implementation of pairs.
Pairs (define x (cons 1 2)) (define y (cons 3 4)) (define z (cons x y)) (car (car z)) 1 ;(caar z) (car (cdr z)) 3 ;(cadr z)

Pairs have the closure property: • We can pair pairs, pairs of pairs etc. • (cons (cons 1 2) 3) 3 2 1 Compound Data A closure property: The result obtained by creating a compound data structure can itself be treated as a primitive object and thus be input to the creation of another compound object.
3 1 2 Lists The empty list (a.k.a. null or nill) • (cons 1 (cons 3 (cons 2 ’()))) • Syntactic sugar:(list 1 3 2)
Formal Definition of a List A list is either • ’() -- The empty list • A pair whose cdr is a list. Lists are closed under the operations consand cdr: • If lst is a non-empty list, then (cdr lst) is a list. • If lst is a list and x is arbitrary, then (cons x lst) is a list. מבוא מורחב שיעור 7

Export only what is needed. Interface Implementation Procedural abstraction • Publish: name, number and type of arguments • (and conditions they must satisfy) • type of procedure’s return value • Guarantee: the behavior of the procedure • Hide: local variables and procedures, • way of implementation, • internal details, etc.

An example: Rational numbers We would like to represent rational numbers. A rational number is a quotient a/b of two integers. Constructor: (make-rat a b) Selectors: (numer r) (denom r) Guarantee:(numer (make-rat a b)) = a (denom (make-rat a b)) = b
An example: Rational numbers We would like to represent rational numbers. A rational number is a quotient a/b of two integers. Constructor: (make-rat a b) Selectors: (numer r) (denom r) A betterGuarantee: (numer (make-rat a b)) a = b (denom (make-rat a b)) A weaker condition, but still sufficient!
We can now use the constructors and selectors to implement operations on rational numbers: (add-rat x y) (sub-rat x y) (mul-rat x y) (div-rat x y) (equal-rat? x y) (print-rat x) A form of wishful thinking: we don’t know how make-ratnumer anddenom are implemented, but we use them.
Implementing the operations (define (add-rat x y);n1/d1 + n2/d2 = (n1.d2 + n2.d1) / (d1.d2) (make-rat (+ (* (numer x) (denom y)) (* (numer y) (denom x))) (* (denom x) (denom y)))) (define (sub-rat x y) … (define (mul-rat x y) (make-rat (* (numer x) (numer y)) (* (denom x) (denom y)))) (define (div-rat x y) (make-rat (* (numer x) (denom y)) (* (denom x) (numer y)))) (define (equal-rat? x y) (= (* (numer x) (denom y))(* (numer y) (denom x))))
Using the rational package (define (print-rat x) (newline) (display (numer x)) (display ”/”) (display (denom x))) (define one-half (make-rat 1 2)) (print-rat one-half) 1/2 (define one-third (make-rat 1 3)) (print-rat (add-rat one-half one-third)) 5/6 (print-rat (add-rat one-third one-third)) 6/9
Programs that use rational numbers add-rat sub-rat mul-rat… make-rat numer denom Abstraction barriers rational numbers in problem domain rational numbers as numerators and denumerators
Gluing things together We still have to implement numer, denom, and make-rat We need a way to glue things together… A pair: (define x (cons 1 2)) (car x) 1 (cdr x) 2
Implementing make-rat, numer, denom (define (make-rat n d) (cons n d)) (define (numer x) (car x)) (define (denom x) (cdr x))
Programs that use rational numbers add-rat sub-rat mul-rat... make-rat numer denom cons car cdr Abstraction barriers rational numbers in problem domain rational numbers as numerators and denumerators rational numbers as pairs
Abstraction Violation Alternative implementation for add-rat (define (add-rat x y) (cons (+ (* (car x) (cdr y)) (* (car y) (cdr x))) (* (cdr x) (cdr y)))) If we bypass an abstraction barrier, changes to one level may affect many levels above it. Maintenance becomes more difficult.
Rationals - Alternative Implementation • In our current implementation we keep 10000/20000 • as such and not as 1/2. • This: • Makes the computation more expensive. • Prints out clumsy results. A solution: change the constructor (define (make-rat a b) (let ((g (gcd a b))) (cons (/ a g) (/ b g)))) No other changes are required!
Reducing to lowest terms, another way (define (make-rat n d) (cons n d)) (define (numer x) (let ((g (gcd (car x) (cdr x)))) (/ (car x) g))) (define (denom x) (let ((g (gcd (car x) (cdr x)))) (/ (cdr x) g)))
How can we implement pairs? (first solution – “lazy” implementation) (define (cons x y) (lambda (f) (f x y))) (define (car z) (z (lambda (x y) x))) (define (cdr z) (z (lambda (x y) y)))
