Different behaviors based on the use of let, let*, and letrec:

  • The let will validates all the bindings with respect to the level. That is it doesn’t consider about order of the list.
  • The let* allows all the bindings with respect to sequential manner.
  • The letrec allows to bind the recursive call values.
  • The following program defines the different behaviors of let, let*, and letrec.

Program:

        #Defining let function.

  (let ((x (lambda (n) 1))

  (y (lambda (n) 2)))

  #Defining let* function.

  (let ((x (lambda (n) (if (zero? n) 3 (y (- n 1)))))

  (y (lambda (n) (if (zero? n) 4 (x (- n 1))))))

  #Defining letrec() function...
