As in many other functional languages, Racket doesn't have pointers to its own values. Instead, Racket uses "boxes" that are similar to "ref" types in *ML: |
|||
<lang racket> |
|||
#lang racket |
|||
(define (inc! b) (set-box! b (add1 (unbox b)))) |
|||
(define b (box 0)) |
|||
(inc! b) |
|||
(inc! b) |
|||
(inc! b) |
|||
(unbox b) ; => 3 |
|||
</lang> |
|||
In addition, Racket has a representation of traditional C pointers as part of its FFI, but this is intended only for dealing with foreign code. |
