--- This message is a formal comment which was submitted to formal-comment at r6rs.org, following the requirements described at: http://www.r6rs.org/process.html --- submitter's name: Aubrey Jaffer submitter's email address: agj at alum.mit.edu type of issue: Defect priority: Minor R6RS component: 9.8.3 Semantics of common operations version of the report: 5.94 one-sentence summary of the issue: Integer division examples should be written in Scheme. full description of the issue: Section 9.8 Generic arithmetic discusses both Scheme and mathematics. In order to prevent confusion about context, mathematical formulas should be written using conventional (infix) mathematical notation, while Scheme expressions should be written using Scheme notation. But the examples of Scheme functions in "Integer division" are not written in Scheme: 123 div 10 = 12 123 mod 10 = 3 ... Scheme calls in sections labeled "Examples" should be written in Scheme: (div 123 10) ==> 12 (mod 123 10) ==> 3 ... If an editor finds Scheme syntax too ugly to use, then that editor is working on the wrong project!Received on Fri Jun 22 2007 - 17:46:17 UTC
