list(3scm)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay so this is list(3scm) from the Scheme Programmer's Manual, and it's literally the “make a list out of ur arguments” bestie. list — create a list from the arguments. 💅

📚 LIBRARY 📚

these are the import vibes, exact:

(import (rnrs))                     ;R6RS
(import (rnrs base))                ;R6RS
(import (scheme r5rs))              ;R7RS
(import (scheme base))              ;R7RS

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

the whole synopsis is literally:

(list obj ...)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

it returns a newly allocated list of its arguments. brand-new list energy, no cap. 🦋

🎀 RETURN VALUES 🎀

returns a single value; a list. that's the whole return, bestie. 👑

🔥 EXAMPLES 🔥

(list 'a (+ 3 4) 'c)  =>  (a 7 c)
(list)                =>  ()

🌈 COMPATIBILITY 🌈

except for out of memory situations, this procedure works the same everywhere. so like, it's giving universal icon behavior. 🌍

💀 ERRORS 💀

this procedure can raise exceptions with the following condition types:

• &implementation-restriction (R6RS) — there is not enough free memory to hold the new pairs. (not all implementations raise this exception, the majority just crash. 💀)
• R7RS — implementations may signal an error during out of memory conditions, or fail catastrophically. 😭

👀 SEE ALSO 👀

the bestie cross-refs are:

• cons*(3scm)
• vector(3scm)

⭐ STANDARDS ⭐

R4RS, IEEE Scheme, R5RS, R6RS, R7RS. she's certified, periodt. 🎀

🕰️ HISTORY 🕰️

the list function first appeared in LISP 1.5 (1962). old-school but still main character energy. 👑
