Miscellaneous Tips on Scheme Debugging and Code Testing
Feb 17
1. Tips on Debugging Your Scheme Code
Please read this for some tips on debugging Scheme code
and writing code with good style.
2. Tips on Testing
To help you in testing your code, you might like to develop a test suite,
by creating an input file (e.g., "testfile.in")
with a series of commands
for Scheme to run, and an output file (e.g., "testfile.out")
with the
results for you to analyze. To run this test suite, you can use the command
scheme < testfile.in > testfile.out
Here is an example input file
test-system-sample.in.
No -- you do NOT have to hand in your test suites for A3, but you do need
to test your code! The above is just for your information. It may or
may not prove to be useful to you.
3. Other Ways to Create Output
Don't forget that you can also use the built-in procedures
transcript-on and transcript-off to
record a transcript of a Scheme session.
E.g.,
