How to delete an element from a list in scheme

Question

how to delete an element from a list ex:- list=[1 2 3 4]

I have come up with some code.I think I got wrong somewhere.

 (define delete item
   (lambda         


        

Answer 1

This code seems to work just fine, but only deletes an element that should be in the list:

(define (delete element lst)
    (let loop ([temp lst])
        (if (= element (car temp)) (cdr temp)
            (cons (car temp) (loop (cdr temp))))))
