What is the issue with executing append in Drscheme using lazyscheme?

  • Thread starter ddatta8
  • Start date
In summary, the conversation is about using the append function in DrScheme with the lazyscheme dialect. The user is trying to join two lists, but the function is only for appending an element to a list. Even when trying different variations, the user is receiving error messages due to the different version of append in lazyscheme.

I am trying to execute the code (append '(a b) '(c d)) in drscheme using lazyscheme and I am getting the following output: (a . #<promise:...cts/lazy/lazy.ss:453:38>). What is the problem? Thanks.

Append is only for appending an element to a list, not for joining two lists.

Thanks but even if I do (append 'a '(c d)) /(append '(a b) 'c),
I get the following error messages:
. . car: expects argument of type <pair>; given a/(a . #<promise:...cts/lazy/lazy.ss:453:38>)

Sorry, I am not familiar with the lazyscheme dialect; I didn't realize it had a different version of append.
