Code: Select all

(defun make-queue

Which dialect of Scheme are you running? (I don't know of any that use 'defun'.)

Also, you need to define all of your procedures push, pop, peek, show, and fb somewhere (so that they evaluate properly during invocation).

My bad. This first post was in the moderation queue. From a quick glance, my tired eyes saw Scheme so I moved the topic. Bhupi's other post is clearly CL code.

In CL,

Code: Select all

(defun make-queue
  (lambda ()
...

should probably look like

Code: Select all

(defun make-queue ()
  ...

But the use of "set!" looks like Scheme (use "setf" in CL); so I'm still not sure what dialect is intended.

The following is "valid" CL. It approximates the basic form of the original post using CL idioms, but it almost certainly does not work.

Code: Select all

(defun make-queue ()
  (let ((front '()) (back '()))
    (lambda (cmd data)
      (flet
     ((exchange ()
           (setf front (reverse back))
           (setf back '())))
   (case cmd
     ((:push) (push (car data) back))
     ((:pop) (unless (pop front)
          (exchange)
          (pop front)))
     ((:peek) (unless (consp front)
           (exchange))
      (car front))
     ((:show) (format t "~s\n" (append front (reverse back))))
     ((:fb) (format t "front: ~s, back: ~s\n" front back))
     (t (error "Illegal cmd to queue object" cmd)))))))
