“let” transformation, differed substitution and closures, and interpretation in FAE

“let” transformation:

(let ((A B)) C) == ((lambda (A) C) B)

A B ---------------- C -------------------

A ---------- B -------- C

(let (( x 3)) (let ((f (lambda (y) (+ x y)))) (f 4))

((lambda (x) ((lambda (f) (f 4)) (lambda (y) (+ x y)))) 3)

(app (fun 'x [app (fun 'f [app (id 'f) (num 4)]) (fun 'y (add (id 'x) (id 'y)))]) (num 3))

(app ------- arg1 ------------------ ------------arg2---------------

(app --------------------------------------- arg1------------------------------------- --arg2—

Differed substitution and closures:

(aSub 'f (closureV 'y (add (id 'x) (id 'y)) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub)))

Interpretation:

(interp (app (id 'f) (num 4)) (aSub 'f (closureV 'y (add (id 'x) (id 'y)) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))))

(numV 7)

Dr. Philip Cannata 4

Eduardo Saenz (anon. to classmates)  (1 day ago) - If our AST does not have let class nodes, then when our interpreter visits every node of the AST, making the environment of differed substitutions along the way, our environment will only have closures?You only do: (aSub x 3 (mtSub)) when you encounter a let, and since our parser converts lets to lambdas we'll never see this type of differed substitution in our environment; only closures in our environment.Is this logic correct?

Philip Cannata (Instructor) (Just now) - This is a good observation but try to understand the following three cases that can occur and see if you can distinguish when deferred substitution should be done in each of them and when function application should be done:

> (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) 5))(app (fun 'f (num 5)) (fun 'x (id 'x)))> (interp (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) 5)) (mtSub))(numV 5)

> (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) (f 5)))(app (fun 'f (app (id 'f) (num 5))) (fun 'x (id 'x)))> (interp (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) (f 5))) (mtSub))(numV 5)

> (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) ((fun (y) (+ y 2)) 5)))(app (fun 'f (app (fun 'y (add (id 'y) (num 2))) (num 5))) (fun 'x (id 'x)))> (interp (parse '(with (f (fun (x) x)) ((fun (y) (+ y 2)) 5))) (mtSub))(numV 7)

Static and Dynamic Scoping  

Static scoping:

(interp (parse '{with {x 5} {f 4}}) (aSub 'f (closureV 'y (add (id 'x) (id 'y)) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))))

(numV 7)

Dynamic Scoping:

(interp (parse '{with {x 5} {f 4}}) (aSub 'f (closureV 'y (add (id 'x) (id 'y)) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))) (aSub 'x (numV 3) (mtSub))))

(numV 9)

Think about this expression for both Static and Dynamic Scoping:

(let ((z 3)) (let ((d 3) (f (lambda (x) x))) (let ((z 27))

(let ((z 3) (a 5) (x (lambda (x y) (+ x (+ y z))))) (let ((z 9) (a 7)) (x z a))))))

Chapter 6, Pages 41 & 42 – “first-order Functions are not values in the language. They can only be defined in a designated portion of the program, where they must be given names for use in the remainder of the program. The functionsin F1WAE are of this nature, which explains the 1 in the name of the language.

higher-order Functions can return other functions as values.

first-class Functions are values with all the rights of other values. In particular, they can be supplied as the value of arguments to functions, returned by functions as answers, and stored in data structures.

Parameter and Arguments

DefinitionsAn argument is an expression that appears in a function application/call.A parameter is an identifier that appears in a function definition/declaration.

In the code on the right the call A(a, b) has arguments a and b.

The function declaration A has parameters x and y.

Page 13: Dr. Philip Cannata 1 Functions and Recursion. Dr. Philip Cannata 2 10 Java (Object Oriented) ASP RDF (Horn Clause Deduction, Semantic Web) Relation Jython.

Dr. Philip Cannata 13

• By value - Compute the value of the argument at the time of the call and assign that value to the parameter. So passing by value doesn’t normally allow the called function to modify an argument’s value.

• By reference - Compute the address of the argument at the time of the call and assign it to the parameter. Passing by value allows the called function to modify an argument’s value.

• By value-result

• By name

Pass by Value Pass by Reference

Dr. Philip Cannata 15

Pass by value at the time of the call and/or copy the result back to the argument at the end of the call – also called copy-in-copy-out.

Pass by Value-Results

Textually substitute the argument for every instance of its corresponding parameter in the function body. Originated with Algol 60 (Jensen’s device), but was dropped by Algol’s

successors -- Pascal, Ada, Modula.

Exemplifies late binding, since evaluation of the argument is delayed until its occurrence in the function body is actually executed.Associated with lazy evaluation in functional languages (e.g., Haskell).

real procedure Sum(j, lo, hi, Ej); value lo, hi; integer j, lo, hi; real Ej;begin real S; S := 0; for j := lo step 1 until hi do S := S + Ej; Sum := S end;

x[j]*j

A stack of activation records:•An activation record is a block of information associated with each function call, which includes:

• parameters and local variables• Return address

• Each new call pushes an activation record, and each completing call pops the topmost one.

• So, the topmost record is the most recent call, and the stack has all active calls at any run-time moment.

int factorial(int n) { if(n < 1) { return 1; } else { return n * factorial(n - 1); }}

int main() { int number, answer; number = 3; answer = factorial(number); print(answer);}

Hmm Runtime Stack for Factorial 3
