In Scheme, which expression allows for sequential bindings where each variable can use the previous bindings?

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about a Scheme expression that allows for sequential bindings where each variable can use the previous bindings.

In Scheme and many Lisp-family languages, there are several binding forms with different evaluation rules:
- let typically binds all variables in parallel, so later bindings cannot refer to earlier ones within the same let expression unless you restructure the code.
- let* binds variables sequentially; the value of each binding can refer to the bindings that were established earlier in the same let*.
- letrec is designed for mutually recursive bindings, where the bound variables can refer to each other within the set of bindings, often used for procedures that need to refer to each other.
- define (at top level) or set!-style assignments are not structured bindings in the same way and do not provide the same sequential binding semantics within a single expression.

Since the task is to identify the form that enables sequential bindings where each subsequent binding can use the previous ones, let* is the canonical choice because its semantics are explicitly sequential evaluation of bindings.

If you were given a list of options, you would compare each to these semantics: any option claiming that bindings are evaluated all at once (in parallel) would be incorrect for this goal, whereas an option describing sequential bindings where later bindings can reference earlier ones would be correct.

Note: Without the actual options provided in this prompt, the general rule is that let* provides the desired sequential binding behavior, while let does not permit such direct sequential references within the same expression, and letrec handles recursive or mutually recursive references.
