For class, I have to write a function that takes positive integer n and returns the sum of n’s odd digits in scheme. So far, I have my base case such that if n equals 0 then 0. But I am not sure on how to continue.
(define sumOddDigits
(lambda (n)
(if (= n 0)
0
Test cases:
(sumOddDigits 0) → 0
(sumOddDigits 4) → 0
(sumOddDigits 3) → 3
(sumOddDigits 1984) → 10
You could do it efficiently using one functional loop:
(define (sumOddDigits n)
(let loop ([n n])
(cond [(zero? n) 0]
[else
(let-values ([(q r) (quotient/remainder n 10)])
(+ (if (odd? r) r 0)
(loop q)))])))
One can get list of digits using following function which uses 'named let':
(define (getDigits n)
(let loop ((ol '()) ; start with an empty outlist
(n n))
(let-values (((q r) (quotient/remainder n 10)))
(if (= q 0) (cons r ol)
(loop (cons r ol) q)))))
Then one can apply a filter using odd? function to get all odd elements of list- and then apply 'apply' function with '+' to add all those elements:
(apply + (filter
(lambda(x)
(odd? x))
digitList))
Together following can be the full function:
(define (addOddDigits N)
(define (getDigits n)
(let loop ((ol '())
(n n))
(let-values (((q r) (quotient/remainder n 10)))
(if (= q 0) (cons r ol)
(loop (cons r ol) q)))))
(define digitList (getDigits N))
(println digitList)
(apply + (filter
(lambda(x)
(odd? x))
digitList)))
Testing:
(addOddDigits 156)
Output:
'(1 5 6)
6
Your basecase is if n < 10. Because you are then on the last digit.
You then need to check if it's odd, and if so return it. Else, return the addition qualifier(0).
If n > 10, you remainder off the first digit, then test it for odd.
If odd, then add it to a recursive call, sending in the quotient of 10(shaves off the digit you just added).
Else, you recursively call add-odds with the quotient of 10, without adding the current digit.
Here it is in a recursive form(Scheme LOVES recursion) :
(define add-odds
(lambda (n)
(if(< n 10)
(if(= (remainder n 2) 1)
n
0)
(if(= (remainder (remainder n 10) 2) 1)
(+ (remainder n 10) (add-odds (quotient n 10)))
(add-odds(quotient n 10))))))
First get a (reversed) list of digits with simple recursive implementation:
(define (list-digits n)
(if (zero? n) '()
(let-values ([(q r) (quotient/remainder n 10)])
(cons r (list-digits q)))))
then filter the odd ones and sum them:
(define (sum-of-odd-digits n)
(apply + (filter odd? (list-digits n))))
Note: (list-digits 0) returns '() but it is ok for later usage.
More accurate list-digits iterative implementation (produce list of digits in right order):
(define (list-digits n)
(define (iter n acc)
(if (zero? n) acc
(let-values ([(q r) (quotient/remainder n 10)])
(iter q (cons r acc)))))
(iter n '()))

I am trying to write a racket program that computes the sum of the first n terms in a fibonacci sequence without using recursion, and only using abstract list functions (so map, builld-list, foldr, foldl). I can use helper functions.
I'm stuck on how to make a list of the fibonacci numbers without using recursion. I thought I could use a lambda function:
(lambda (lst) (+ (list-ref lst (- (length lst) 1)) (list-ref lst (- (length lst 2)))))
But I am not sure how to generate the input list/how to add this to a function.
Once I have a fibonacci sequence I know I can just use (foldl + (car lst) (cdr lst)) to find the sum.
Could anyone explain to me how to make the fibonacci sequence/give me a hint?
; This is how I figure out
#|
(1 2 3 4 (0 1))
-> (1 2 3 (1 1))
-> (1 2 (1 2))
-> (1 (2 3))
-> (3 5)
|#
(define (fib n)
(cond
[(= n 0) 0]
[(= n 1) 1]
[(> n 1)
(second
(foldr (λ (no-use ls) (list (second ls) (+ (first ls) (second ls))))
'(0 1)
(build-list (- n 1) (λ (x) x))))]))
(fib 10)
(build-list 10 fib)
Upgrade version 2
(define (fib-v2 n)
(first
(foldr (λ (no-use ls) (list (second ls) (+ (first ls) (second ls))))
'(0 1)
(build-list n (λ (x) x)))))
(build-list 10 fib-v2)
fib-seq produces a list of first n fibonacci numbers and fib-sum produces the sum of first n fibonacci numbers.
; Number -> [List-of Number]
(define (fib-seq n)
(cond [(= n 0) '()]
[(= n 1) '(0)]
[else (reverse
(for/fold ([lon '(1 0)]) ([_ (in-range (- n 2))])
(cons (apply + (take lon 2)) lon)))]))
; Number -> Number
(define (fib-sum n)
(if (= n 0) 0 (add1 (apply + (take (fib-seq n) (sub1 n))))))
Note: fib-sum is equivalent to the following recursive versions:
(define (fib0 n)
(if (< n 2) n (+ (fib0 (- n 1)) (fib0 (- n 2)))))
(define (fib1 n)
(let loop ((cnt 0) (a 0) (b 1))
(if (= n cnt) a (loop (+ cnt 1) b (+ a b)))))
(define (fib2 n (a 0) (b 1))
(if (= n 0) 0 (if (< n 2) 1 (+ a (fib2 (- n 1) b (+ a b))))))
Once I have a fibonacci sequence I know I can just use (foldl + (car lst) (cdr lst)) to find the sum.
Note that you don't have to generate an intermediate sequence to find the sum. Consider the (fast) matrix exponentiation solution:
(require math/matrix)
(define (fib3 n)
(matrix-ref (matrix-expt (matrix ([1 1] [1 0])) n) 1 0))
Testing:
(require rackunit)
(check-true
(let* ([l (build-list 20 identity)]
[fl (list fib0 fib1 fib2 fib3 fib-sum)]
[ll (make-list (length fl) l)])
(andmap (λ (x) (equal? (map fib0 l) x))
(map (λ (x y) (map x y)) fl ll))))
I already tried this problem multiple times but can't seen to get it right. I want to write an iterative procedure decompose-as-sum-of-squares which inputs a positive integer n and outputs the first integer p such that p^2 + q^2 = n, where q^2 = (n - p^2), and neither p nor n - p^2 is 1. If such p does not exist, the function should return n.
A sample output is (dss 65)returns 4.
This is my code so far.
(define (dss n)
(define (sum-of-squares n)
(if (zero? n) 0
(cons (expt n 2)
(sum-of-squares (- n 1)))))
(sum-of-squares 1))
The output I get is
(dss 65) ; (1 . 0)
Which is clearly wrong. Please help!
Lists have nothing to do with this problem, the solution follows from the definition: you have to test all p values starting from 2 and see if we can find an integer q greater than 1 that satisfies the formula p^2 + q^2 = n. Something like this:
(define (dss n)
(define (sum-of-squares p)
(cond ((>= p n) n)
((let ((q (sqrt (- n (sqr p)))))
(and (integer? q) (not (= q 1))))
p)
(else (sum-of-squares (add1 p)))))
(sum-of-squares 2))
(dss 65)
=> 4
This is Trying code
(defun f (a n)
(if (zerop n)
1
(* a (f a (- n 1)))))
(f 3) should return 27, (f 4) should return 256
I tried using two variables, but it be against the rules.
Is it possible to use only one variable using recursive?
Thanks for any ideas
I don't know CL, but I do know Clojure and other languages that use recursion.
In cases where a recursive function has 1 parameter acting as an accumulator, but is only set on the first call, the typical way around this is to wrap f in another function. There are 2 (basically the same) ways of doing this:
(defun g (a n)
(if (zerop n)
1
(* a (g a (- n 1)))))
(defun f (n)
; I'm assuming you want the initial value of "a" to be 1
(g 1 n))
Or, more succinctly:
(defun f (n)
(let (g (fn (n)
(if (zerop n)
1
(* a (g a (- n 1))))))))
; Instead of f being recursive, f calls g, which is recursive
(g 1 n))
Excuse any syntax errors.
Using an additional variable to count down would be the sane choice, but you don't need to change the contract of just one numeric argument input just for this. You can make a helper to do that:
(defun exptnn (n)
"Get the (expt n n)"
(check-type n integer)
(labels ((helper (acc count)
(if (zerop count)
acc
(helper (* acc n) (1- count)))))
(if (< n 0)
(/ 1 (helper 1 (- n)))
(helper 1 n))))
Now to solve with without any helpers just with one argument is possible since there is a solution doing that already, but I must say that is like programming in Brainf*ck without the joy!
CL-USER 15 > (defun f (n)
(labels ((g (m)
(if (zerop m)
1
(* n (g (1- m))))))
(g n)))
F
CL-USER 16 > (f 0)
1
CL-USER 17 > (f 1)
1
CL-USER 18 > (f 2)
4
CL-USER 19 > (f 3)
27
CL-USER 20 > (f 4)
256
CL-USER 21 > (loop for i below 10 collect (f i))
(1 1 4 27 256 3125 46656 823543 16777216 387420489)
This is a solution where no functions with more than one parameter are used (except for =, +, *, logand, ash; note also that logand and ash always take a constant as second parameter so they can be implemented as unary functions too).
The idea is to "hide" the two parameters needed for the obvious recursive approach in a single integer using odd/even bits.
(defun pair (n)
(if (= n 0)
0
(+ (* 3 (logand n 1))
(ash (pair (ash n -1)) 2))))
(defun pair-first (p)
(if (= p 0)
0
(+ (logand p 1)
(ash (pair-first (ash p -2)) 1))))
(defun pair-second (p)
(pair-first (ash p -1)))
(defun subsec (p)
(if (= 2 (logand p 2))
(- p 2)
(+ (logand p 1) 2 (ash (subsec (ash p -2)) 2))))
(defun pairpow (p)
(if (= (pair-second p) 1)
(pair-first p)
(* (pair-first p)
(pairpow (subsec p)))))
(defun f (n)
(pairpow (pair n)))
No reasonable real use, of course; but a funny exercise indeed.
Yes, this is possible:
(defun f (n)
(cond
((numberp n)
(f (cons n n)))
((zerop (car n))
1)
(t
(* (cdr n)
(f (cons (1- (car n))
(cdr n)))))))
The trick is that you can store any data structure (including a pair of numbers) in a single variable.
Alternatively, you can use helpers from the standard library:
(defun f (n)
(apply #'*
(loop repeat n collect n)))
But that doesn't use recursion. Or simply:
(defun f (n)
(expt n n))
I want to show the result of my function as a list not as a number.
My result is:
(define lst (list ))
(define (num->base n b)
(if (zero? n)
(append lst (list 0))
(append lst (list (+ (* 10 (num->base (quotient n b) b)) (modulo n b))))))
The next error appears:
expected: number?
given: '(0)
argument position: 2nd
other arguments...:
10
I think you have to rethink this problem. Appending results to a global variable is definitely not the way to go, let's try a different approach via tail recursion:
(define (num->base n b)
(let loop ((n n) (acc '()))
(if (< n b)
(cons n acc)
(loop (quotient n b)
(cons (modulo n b) acc)))))
It works as expected:
(num->base 12345 10)
=> '(1 2 3 4 5)
(define hmaxDigit
(lambda (n b)
(cond
((< n 10) n)
((> n (* 10 b)) (hmaxDigit n (* b 10)))
((< 10 (remainder b))
((> (quotient n b) (remainder n b)) (quotient n b))
((< (quotient n b) (remainder n b)) (remainder n b)))))
This is what I have, but it only works with 2 digit numbers.
If n<10 then n is the_maximum_digit
else the_maximum_digit is the maximum of
the first_digit and
the maximum of the remaining digits.
(define (maximum-digit n)
(cond
[(< n 10) n]
[else (max (first-digit n) (maximum-digit (remaining-digits n)))]))
Details such as first-digit and remaining-digits needs to be filled out.
