Overview
Can I really write a procedure without a lambda?
Sure
(define increment (lambda (x) (+ x 1)))
(define increment (r-s + 1))
But that's really simple. How about something more complicated?
Sure
(define square-all (lambda (lst) (map square lst)))
(define square-all (l-s map square))
But there's no lambda? Where does square-all get its input?
(square-all '(2))
=> ((l-s map square) '(2))
=> ((lambda (x) (map square x)) '(2))
=> (map square '(2))
=> (list (square 2))
=> (4)
Can we document even if you say 'but do not document'?
Certainly.
Can we be more accurate than .001 on the cube root problem?
Yes, as long as your code terminates.
