generic-arithmetic

a generic arithmetic system implemented using one of SiCP lessons, namely data directed programming.

tasks left to do - so if you want to contribute just add a package.

• implement a radical package;
• implement a matrix package;
• implement a fraction package;
• implement a polynomial package;
• implement a rational-function package;
• implement an integer package;
• implement a generic print procedure;
• define the procedures in the polynomial package to operate on abstract data, ie., data abstraction; and
• define the procedures in the matrix package to operate on abstract data, ie., data abstraction.

Built with:

• Emacs and MIT Scheme.

Why data-directed programming?

Data directed programming is a technique for increasing modularity of your system; by dividing the system into packages multiple individuals can work on the system at the same time.

How to run the software?

macOS

First, you have to to install Emacs and MIT Scheme; if you haven't already, you can install these using homebrew, the package manager for macOS. Then, you load the file generic-arithmetic.scm.

You can look at the tests to get an idea of how data is represented and to try out more examples.

Thanks!
