For in Scheme
Scheme provides various ways to create loops. Here are some basic types of loops in Scheme.
When you run this program, you’ll see:
In Scheme, we use different constructs to achieve looping behavior:
- We use
let
with recursion for basic conditional loops. - The
do
special form provides a classic looping construct. - Named
let
loops can be used for counted iterations. - Infinite loops can be created with recursive functions, and we use
call/cc
(call-with-current-continuation) to simulate a break
. - The
continue
concept is simulated by using when
to skip iterations in a do
loop.
These constructs provide similar functionality to the for
loops in other languages, allowing you to create various types of iterations in Scheme.
