In the Scheme semantics, there is a formal definition for the meaning of a standard lambda expression. Explain what that definition says (including any helper functions).
The Scheme semantics provides a definition for E*, which provides a meaning for sequences of expressions. Explain the equations that define E* and note any interesting implications.
A number of the helper functions from the Scheme semantics, such as cwcc, don't seem to appear in the definitions of the various meaning functions. List as many of these helper functions as you can, and explain why the semantics includes them.
The equation that gives the meaning of conditional (if) expressions uses a helper called truish. Explain the name and purpose of truish.
Describe how the meaning of cond statements is given by the Scheme
