@title{Named @scheme[let]}
|
|
|
|
A named @scheme[let] is an iteration and recursion form. It uses the
|
|
same syntactic keyword @scheme[let] as for local binding, but an
|
|
identifier after the @scheme[let] (instead of an immediate open
|
|
parenthesis) triggers a different parsing.
|
|
|
|
@specform[
|
|
(let _proc-id ([_arg-id _init-expr] ...)
|
|
_body ...+)
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
A named @scheme[let] form is equivalent to
|
|
|
|
@schemeblock[
|
|
(letrec ([_proc-id (lambda (_arg-id ...)
|
|
_body ...+)])
|
|
(_proc-id _init-expr ...))
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
That is, a named @scheme[let] binds a function identifier that is
|
|
visible only in the function's body, and it implicitly calls the
|
|
function with the values of some initial expressions.
