hamming numbers625 (9/12/2005 4:27:20 AM) comp.lang.lisp Hamming numbers are those with no prime factors other than 2, 3 or 5. So 10, 15, and 30 are Hamming numbers, but 21 is not. How can you efficiently implement (hamming n) in lisp? It seems natural to do a recu... matthewknox
Request for comment: follow-up to Summer of Code933 (6/29/2005 4:55:38 AM) comp.lang.lisp Hi all, I'm a LispNYC guy. We just recently got 9 projects accepted by google for the Summer of Code, but we have some slack mentoring capacity, and a couple of really important projects to push. So I thought... matthewknox
Y is Y so fast?723 (5/22/2005 4:53:35 PM) comp.lang.scheme I am trying to learn combinators at the moment, and I took a look at factorial implemented with a Y combinator. This code: (define F* (lambda (func-arg) (lambda (n) (if (zero? n) ... matthewknox
cmucl crashes on this at large values-why?1131 (5/22/2005 4:41:08 PM) comp.lang.lisp When I try this: (defun fact (n) (if (< n 2) 1 (let ((acc 1)) (dotimes (x n acc) (setf acc (* acc (1+ x))))))) I get the right answers, but it takes a largish amount of memory-seems to incr... matthewknox
macros, in common lisp and before.921 (5/15/2005 2:01:00 AM) comp.lang.lisp I read somewhere (can't recall where at the moment) that lisp macros as used today are not as powerful as original lisp macros. I cannot imagine how macros could be more powerful-is my recollection wrong, or w... matthewknox

ILC 2004-is there a reason why there is no such (separate) event?2127 (10/3/2004 9:59:33 PM) comp.lang.lisp If ILC 2004 is actually already scheduled and I just don't know about it, fantastic, and if not, why? Is it biennial by design? I think I read somewhere that there will be an ILC 2005, and, being that there ... matthewknox
Any real world program using Parsec?430 (7/19/2005 9:05:16 AM) comp.lang.functional I'm very interested in Parsec, a parser combinator for Haskell. I'm trying to write a practical verilog parser with parsec, but as I'm learning Haskell and Parsec, I found there's little about parsec on the i... charls

scheme in the real world: support619 (9/2/2005 4:46:07 AM) comp.lang.scheme Hi all. I've worked out the technical aspects of using scheme for web development, and I'm tempted to use it for an upcoming web consulting gig. My one remaining concern - and it's a big one - is support for ... jacob.miles(67)
