This laboratory exercise provides practice with iteration through the use of Scheme's do-expression.
Write a procedure display-count that takes two arguments,
start and finish, and counts upwards from
start to finish, displaying each number on a
separate line. (The preconditions are that start and
finish must both be exact integers and start must
be less than or equal to finish.) The
display-count procedure should return the number of lines of
output it produces.
Review the sqrt-table procedure from the lab on input and output. This
procedure takes one argument, a non-negative integer, and prints out a
table of integers and their square roots, for integers equal to or less
than its argument.
In printing the table of square roots, procedure sqrt-table used a helper function to handle the printing of each line, after the initial header was printed.
Rewrite the sqrt-table-helper function by using a
do-expression.
Define a Scheme procedure that takes any non-empty list of real numbers
as its argument and returns the number that is the greatest element of the
list. Use a do-expression to run through the positions of
the list.
Define a sum procedure, which takes any list of numbers as its
argument and returns their sum. In your procedure, use a
do-expression to process list elements iteratively.
Write a procedure that counts the number of vowels that occur in a string. Within your procedure, keep the string in tact -- do not convert it to a list. Also, use a do-expression for any looping. Finally, keep the number of variables in your do-expression to a minimum -- for example, the string variable should not be redefined in the loop.
Rewrite the encode-char procedure (including its kernel procedure) from the lab on strings, so that all looping is done using a do-expression.
