Exercise 1.9
题目:
Each of the following two procedures defines a method for adding two positive integers in terms of the procedures inc, which increments its argument by 1, and dec, which decrements its argument by 1.
(define (+ a b)
(if (= a 0)
b
(inc (+ (dec a) b))))
(define (+ a b)
(if (= a 0)
b
(+ (dec a) (inc b))))
Using the substitution model, illustrate the process generated by each procedure in evaluating (+ 4 5).
Are these processes iterative or recursive?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
第一个函数:
inc (+ (dec a) b),递归调用之后,还需要回到原函数进行inc计算,因此,是一个recursive process
第二个函数:
尾递归,是一个iterative process
