Introduction to Functional Programming in Scheme
- slide 21 : 49
Vectors
Vectors in Scheme are heterogeneous array-like data structures of a fixed size
Vectors are denoted in a similar way as list
Example:
#(0 a (1 2 3))
Vectors must be quoted in the same way as list when their external representations are used directly
The function
vector
is similar to the function
list
There are functions that convert a vector to a list and vice versa
vector->list
list->vector
The main differences between lists and vectors are the
mode of access
and the
mode of construction
