Example Lambda deforphan 001

 

 

Description

This example shows how orphan Lambdas can be defined in separate source files from their parent.

 

Details

The following are two separate forms that create a parent Lambda and an orpahn Lambda within the parent. 

       
        (setq y 10)
        (defun  foo(x) pvars:((y 5) (d 30))  (+ x d y))
        (deforphan foo:sum(x) pvars:((d 20)) (+ x d y))
Returns: #<Lambda 123456 >

We can invoke the orphan Lambda with the following reference:

(foo 10) Returns: 45
(foo.sum 10) Returns: 40

We can invoke the child Lambda with the following references:

(foo 10) Returns: 10
(= foo.Pv foo.sum.Pv) Returns: false
(= foo.Cv foo.sum.Cv) Returns: false

Notes and Hints

An orphan Lambda is a member of its parent's pvars structure. Therefore the parent knows about the orphan. However, the orphan Lambda has a different pvars structure than its parent Lambda, and a different cvars structure than its parent Lambda. Therefore an orphan Lambda knows nothing of its parent Lambda.
