\section{Challenges}
|
||||
|
||||
Do \ref{Yfac} first, then finish the rest in any order. \\
|
||||
Have fun!
|
||||
|
||||
\problem{}<Yfac>
|
||||
Design a recursive factorial function using $Y$. \\
|
||||
|
||||
\vfill
|
||||
|
||||
\problem{}
|
||||
Design a non-recursive factorial function. \\
|
||||
\note{This one is a lot easier than \ref{Yfac}, but I don't think it will help you solve it.}
|
||||
|
||||
\problem{}
|
||||
Using pairs, make a \say{list} data structure. Define a GET function, so that $\text{GET}~L~n$ reduces to the nth item in the list. $\text{GET}~L~0$ should give the first item in the list, and $\text{GET}~L~1$, the \textit{second}. \\
|
||||
Lists have a defined length, so you should be able to tell when you're on the last element.
|
||||
|
||||
\problem{}
|
||||
Write POW $a$ $b$, which raises $b$ to the $a$th power.
|
||||
|
||||
\problem{}
|
||||
Write a MOD $a$ $b$ function that reduces to the remainder of $a \div b$.

\begin{solution}
|
||||
\textbf{Factorial with recursion:}
|
||||
\vspace{3ex}
|
||||
|
||||
$\text{FAC} = \lm yn.[Z~n][1][\text{MULT}~n~(y~(\text{D}~n))]$
|
||||
|
||||
\linehack{}
|
||||
|
||||
\textbf{Factorial without recursion:}
|
||||
\vspace{3ex}
|
||||
|
||||
$\text{FAC}_0 = \lm p .
|
||||
\Bigl\langle~~
|
||||
\Bigl[D~(p~t)\Bigr]
|
||||
~,~
|
||||
\Bigl[\text{MULT}~(p~T)~(p~F)\Bigr]
|
||||
~~\Bigr\rangle
|
||||
$
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2ex}
|
||||
|
||||
$
|
||||
\text{FAC} = \lm n .
|
||||
\bigl( n~\text{FAC}_0~\langle n, 1 \rangle \bigr)
|
||||
$
|
||||
|
||||
\linehack{}
|
||||
|
||||
\textbf{Lists:}
|
||||
\vspace{3ex}
|
||||
|
||||
One possible implementation is
|
||||
$\Bigl\langle
|
||||
\langle \text{is last} ~,~ \text{item} \rangle
|
||||
~,~
|
||||
\text{next}...
|
||||
\Bigr\rangle$, where:
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{1ex}
|
||||
|
||||
\say{is last} is a boolean, true iff this is the last item in the list. \\
|
||||
\say{item} is the thing you're storing \\
|
||||
\say{next...} is another one of these list fragments. \\
|
||||
|
||||
It doesn't matter what \say{next} is in the last list fragment. A dedicated \say{is last} slot allows us to store ANY function in this list.
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{1ex}
|
||||
|
||||
Here, $\text{GET} = \lm nL.[(n~L~F)~T~F$] \\
|
||||
|
||||
This will break if $n$ is out of range.
|
||||
\end{solution}

\problem{Bonus}
|
||||
Play with \textit{Lamb}, an automatic lambda expression evaluator. \\
