Referenced from lesson Defining Table Functions
For the word problems below, assume dog-row,
cat-row,
young-row
and old-row
are already defined as data rows.
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::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 (dog-row)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 |

__________ (_______)is __________________
end
