r30888 r39490 3 3 If you're a CHICKEN beginner, you come from another language or a different scheme implementation, there are a few things you might be wondering about, when you're first exposed to CHICKEN. This little tutorial shall help you to lower the barriers and highlight some little pitfalls so that your time with CHICKEN is more fun from the very beginning. 4 4 5 For a general introduction to CHICKEN, see [[man/4/Getting started|Getting started]]. 6 7 === The numeric tower 8 9 CHICKEN's core does not provide the full numeric tower. This might surprise you if you come from other scheme implementations, or 10 use CHICKEN to do your scheme homeworks. Don't worry, your homeworks are safe. It's easy to get the full tower through [[/egg/numbers|the numbers egg]]. 11 Simply install the egg and load it via '''require-extension''' or '''use'''. 12 13 Installation: 14 <enscript highligh="scheme"> 15 $ chicken-install numbers 16 </enscript> 17 18 Usage: 19 <enscript highlight="scheme"> 20 (use numbers) 21 22 (complex? 1.0+2.0i) 23 </enscript> 24 25 The important thing is that you '''use''' numbers. 26 27 === Where is my fold? 28 29 Since scheme is a lisp it offers quite a few useful procedures that operate on lists, such as '''fold''','''unfold''','''filter''' and many more. 30 You might have seen those in the examples of a tutorial, textbook or your scheme class. As the happy schemer, that you are, you instantly tried 31 them out in a fresh csi session, when you had to realize that CHICKEN doesn't seem to know them. 32 33 Again it's easy enough to get it. SRFI-1 comes as a core unit, which means that you don't need to install an egg. 34 35 <enscript highlight="scheme"> 36 (use srfi-1) 37 38 (filter odd? (iota 10)) 39 </enscript> 5 For a general introduction to CHICKEN, see [[man/5/Getting started|Getting started]]. 40 6 41 7 === UTF-8 … … 46 12 <enscript highlight="bash"> 47 13 CHICKEN 48 (c) 2008-20 14, The ChickenTeam14 (c) 2008-2020, The CHICKEN Team 49 15 (c) 2000-2007, Felix L.
