For the word problems below, assume animalA
and animalB
are defined as the data rows for Felix and Midnight, respectively.
Directions: Define a function called is-cat
, which consumes a Row
of the animals table and computes whether the animal is a cat.
Contract and Purpose Statement |
Every contract has three parts…
# is-cat::(r :: Row)->Boolean
# Consumes an animal, and computes whether the species equals "cat"
Examples |
Write some examples, then circle and label what changes…
examples:
__is-cat (animalA)is ___________________________
________ (_______)is ___________________________
end
Definition |
Write the definition, giving variable names to all your input values…
fun is-cat(r):
__r["species"] == "cat"
end
Directions: Define a function called is-young
, which consumes a Row of the animals table and computes whether it is less than four years old.
Contract and Purpose Statement |
Every contract has three parts…
# ________::____________________->_______
# ________________________________________________________________
Examples |
Write some examples, then circle and label what changes…
examples:
__________ (_________)is __________________
__________ (_________)is __________________
end
Definition |
Write the definition, giving variable names to all your input values…
