One of my main takeaway of the book study group I organised within Coders Only
was the simplicity of the treemap function, which takes a tree and a function as an input, and returns a new tree, where all the nodes are the result of inputting the original node through the function.
Note to myself: use recursion when parsing through a tree.
- Trees are beautiful and the way to deal with two-dimensional data
(define (treemap fn tree) (cond ((null? tree) '()) ((leaf? tree) (fn tree)) (else (map (lambda (t) (treemap fn t)) tree)) ))
Note: the
map
function takes a function and a list, applies the function to all the elements, and returns a new modified list.
