Racket Syntax Cheat Sheet

  • The define form in Racket is used to name variables, functions, and constants.
  • Racket's lambda creates anonymous functions without a name.
  • Racket's if statement is a basic conditional form similar to standard if-else in Java, Python, and C#.
  • The cond form in Racket is used for more than two branches and offers better readability than nested if statements.
  • Racket's let form creates temporary bindings limited to a specific code block.
  • Racket's let* form allows variables to refer to those defined before it.
  • Racket's letrec form is used for defining mutually recursive functions.
  • Quoting in Racket allows treating data as literal values rather than for evaluation.
  • Racket's set! is used to change a variable's value after it's defined.
  • Racket uses '#lang' at the top of files to specify the language module.
  • The 'require' statement in Racket is used to import functions or data from another module.
  • Racket supports keyword arguments for functions, making it easier to understand arguments.
  • The match form in Racket allows unpacking and analyzing data using patterns.
  • Racket's struct is used for defining custom data structures with constructors, accessors, and predicates.
  • Racket allows declaring modules in the language to group and isolate code.
  • Racket supports mutable structs by adding the #:mutable flag.
  • Racket's define-values form returns the result of the first expression in a sequence.
  • Racket has built-in support for returning multiple values from functions.
  • Racket's syntax may feel unfamiliar initially, but understanding it leads to a natural flow.
