Using Lambda

The goal of this assignment is to give you practice with lambda and built-in list abstractions.

Requirements

  1. Use the ISL+Lambda language

  2. Do not use local

  3. Do not define helper functions with (define ...)

  4. Do not use require

However, you may use lambda and any function that is built-in to ISL+ (documentation).

Data Designs

Use the following data designs in your code, and do not modify them.

;; A CallType is one of:
;; - "zoom"
;; - "teams"
;; - "phone"
;; Interpretation: a type of call

(define CT-ZOOM "zoom")
(define CT-TEAMS "teams")
(define CT-PHONE "phone")

(define (calltype-temp ct)
  (cond
    [(string=? ct CT-ZOOM) ...]
    [(string=? ct CT-TEAMS) ...]
    [(string=? ct CT-PHONE) ...]))

(define-struct call [type duration attendees description])
(define-struct mtg [duration attendees description])
(define-struct alone [duration description])

;; An Event is one of:
;; - (make-call CallType PosInt [NEList-of String] String)
;; - (make-mtg PosInt [NEList-of String] String)
;; - (make-alone PosInt String)
;; Interpretation: an event in some period of time, which is either:
;; - A call using some technology, lasting some number of minutes with attendees
;;  (by name), and a description;
;; - An in-person meeting lasting some number of minutes
;;   with attendees (by name) and a description; or
;; - Time spent alone for some number of minutes with a description.

(define E-ZOOM-DOC
  (make-call CT-ZOOM 22 (list "Dr. Zoidberg")
             "Doctor appointment about a stomach ache after some bad seafood :("))
(define E-TEAMS-OH
  (make-call CT-TEAMS 7 (list "Mike" "Tajel")
             "Office hours with my partner to ask clarifying questions about the Design Recipe!"))
(define E-PHONE-SPAM
  (make-call CT-PHONE 1 (list "Unknown")
             "Who calls!? I think it was a scam..."))
;; These are characters from a TV show called "Friends", which was popular in
;; the 90s, which is when many of your instructors grew up.
(define E-MTG-STUDY
  (make-mtg 62 (list "Rachel" "Ross" "Joey" "Phoebe" "Chandler" "Monica")

  (make-mtg 28 (list "Ali")

(define (e-temp e)
  (cond
    [(call? e)
     (... (calltype-temp (call-type e)) ...
          (call-duration e) ...
          (los-temp (call-attendees e)) ...
          (call-description e) ...)]
    [(mtg? e)
     (... (mtg-duration e) ...
          (los-temp (mtg-attendees e)) ...

Problems

  1. Design the function weekend that reminds you to rest. The function consumes an argument – a positive integer – and produces a list of that many alone events. Each of these is 30mins each, with the description “rest”.

     ;; weekend : PosInt -> [NEList-of Event]
     ;; produces a list of 30min rest alone events of a supplied size
    
  2. Design the function small-group that consumes a list of events and only produces those that have fewer than three participants. In all cases, there is an implied attendee (you!) that counts as one person. So, calls and meetings with two or more attendees are not small groups.

     ;; small-group : [List-of Event] -> [List-of Event]
     ;; produces the list of only those events that have up to 3 participants
     ;; (including the implied author).
    
  3. Design the function had-lunch? that accepts a list of events and determines if it contains an event whose description contains the word "lunch" (without regard for upper/lower-case).

     ;; had-lunch? : [List-of Event] -> Boolean
     ;; Is there an event containing the word lunch?
    
  4. Design the function social-time that accepts a list of events and produces the total minutes spent on calls or meetings.

     ;; social-time : [List-of Event] -> PosInt
     ;; how much time was spent on calls and meetings?
    
  5. Design the function anything-but-phone? that accepts a list of events and and produces #true if none of the calls were phone calls. (Zoom and Teams calls are not phone calls.)

     ;; anything-but-phone? : [List-of Event] -> Boolean
     ;; makes sure there were no phone calls
    
  6. Design the function peeps that accepts a list of events and produces an alphabetically sorted list of attendees at all the calls/meetings (including any duplicates).

     ;; peeps : [List-of Event] -> [List-of String]
     ;; alphabetized list from all event attendees
