Hi all,I just stumbled over a terminology issue: are "procedure" and "function" synonyms in Scheme or do they refer to different things?
From my earliest experiences with programming I'd recall the difference to be that functions return a value and procedures don't. But that's clearly not the case in Scheme.
Any enlightenment available? -- Urs Liska www.openlilylib.org
