A question of free variables Answer 1: lexical (static) scope A variable, x , is fr free in an expression, e , if x is referenced in e A variable, x , is fr free in an expression, e , if x is referenced in e outside the scope of any binding of x within e . outside the scope of any binding of x within e . x is a free variable x is a free variable of the lambda expression. of the lambda expression. (define x 1) (define x 1) (define f (lambda (y) (+ x y))) (define f (lambda (y) (+ x y))) (define z (define z (let ([x 2] (let ([x 2] [y 3]) [y 3]) (f (+ x y)) )) (f (+ x y)))) To what bindings do free variables of a function Free variables of a function refer to bindings in refer when the function is applied? the environment where the function is de defined , regardless of where it is applied. Lexical Scope and Function Closures 5 Lexical Scope and Function Closures 6 Answer 2: dynamic scope Answer 2: dynamic scope A variable, x , is fr free in an expression, e , if x is referenced in e A variable, x , is fr free in an expression, e , if x is referenced in e outside the scope of any binding of x within e . outside the scope of any binding of x within e . x is a free variable x is a free variable of the lambda expression. of the lambda expression. (define x 1) (define x 1) (define f (lambda (y) (+ x y))) (define f (lambda (y) (+ x y))) (define z (define z (let ([ x 2] (let ([x 2] [y 3]) [y 3]) (f (+ x y)) )) (f (+ x y)))) Free variables of a function refer to bindings in Free variables of a function refer to bindings in the environment where the function is ap applied , the environment where the function is ap applied , regardless of where it is defined. regardless of where it is defined.

Anonymous function definition expressions Closures implement Week 1 Syntax : Sy ( lambda ( x1 … xn ) e ) lexical scope. – pa parameters: x1 through xn are identifiers – bo body: e is any expression Ev Evaluation : closure , ⟨ E, (lambda (x1 … xn) e) ⟩ , 1. The result is a fu function c holding the current environment, E , and the function. Closures allow functions to use any binding in [closure] the environment where the function is defined, E ⊢ (lambda (x1 … xn) e) ↓ ⟨ E, (lambda (x1 … xn) e) ⟩ regardless of where it is applied. Note: – An anonymous function definition is an expression. – A function closure is a new kind of value. Closures are not expressions. – This is a de definition , not a call . . The body, e , is no not evaluated now. – lambda from the λ -ca calcu culus .

Under the current dynamic environment, E , Evaluation : Ev evaluate e0 through en to values v0, …, vn. E ⊢ e0 ↓ ⟨ E', (lambda (x1 … xn) e) ⟩ 2. If v0 is a function closure of n arguments, E ⊢ e1 ↓ v1 ⟨ E', (lambda (x1 … xn) e) ⟩ then … The result is the result of evaluating the closure E ⊢ en ↓ vn body, e , under the closure environment, E' , x1 ⟼ v1, …, xn ⟼ vn, E' ⊢ e ↓ v extended with argument bindings: [apply] x1 ⟼ v1, …, xn ⟼ vn . E ⊢ (e0 e1 … en) ↓ v Otherwise, there is a type error. Functions 11 Functions 12
