CSE 341, Scheme Assignment

Due Friday, October 31, 1:30 pm.

Write scheme functions for the following problems.
  1. The complex number x + yi can be represented in scheme by (cons x y). Write a routine to add a pair of complex numbers. Your routine should also take real numbers as inputs.
  2. Write a routine for adding a pair of polynomials with complex (or real coefficients) where a dense representation is used.
  3. Write a routine for adding a pair of polynomials with complex (or real coefficients) where a sparse representation is used.
  4. Write a routine for filtering a list - keeping only the elements of the list which satisfy the given predicate.
  5. Assume that Wines are represented as lists of four elements - (Year Variety Winery Price). Write routines to:

Below is a script showing my solutions.

;; Problem 1 - addition of complex numbers
;; Note the representation of numbers: 
;;     x + iy is represented as (cons x y), which can be expressed as (x . y)

;; The complex addition routines should handle both complex and real numbers
;; You may want to write additional functions which convert from real to
;; complex, and from complex to real

1 ]=> (complex-add 1 2)

;Value: 3

1 ]=> (complex-add 1 '(1 . 2))

;Value 1: (2 . 2)

1 ]=> (complex-add '(1 . 2) '(2 . 2))

;Value 2: (3 . 4)

1 ]=> (complex-add '(1 . 1) '(1 . -1))

;Value: 2


;; Polynomial addition
;; The dense representation is just the list of coefficients (both real
;; and complex)

1 ]=> (define p1 '(1 0 (1 . 1) (2 . -1)))

;Value: p1

1 ]=> (define p2 '(0 2 (3 . 1) (2 . 1)))

;Value: p2

1 ]=> (dense-poly-add p1 p2)

;Value 3: (1 2 (4 . 2) 4)

;; And now sparse representation - a list of coefficient, exponent
;; pairs (with the coefficients possibly complex numbers)


1 ]=> (define s1 '((1 . 2) (1 . 4) ((2 . 2) . 6) (10 . 100)))

;Value: s1

1 ]=> (define s2 '((1 . 0) (3 . 2) ((3 . 2) . 3) ((1 . 1) . 4) (7 . 7)))

1 ]=> (sparse-poly-add s1 s2)

;Value 4: ((1 . 0) (4 . 2) ((3 . 2) . 3) ((2 . 1) . 4) ((2 . 2) . 6) (7 . 7) (10 . 100))

;; Filtering a list - keep the elements which are true for the predicate.
;; We will test it with both a built in function, and an anonymous function

1 ]=> (filter number? number-list)

;Value 5: (1 3 5)

;; A list of fine wines for testing the wine routines
