Applying a symbol as a procedure

Question

Suppose I have a simple symbol:

> \'+
+

Is there any way I can apply that symbol as a procedure:

> ((do-something-with \'         


        

Answer 1

Newbie too so hope I've understood your question correctly...

Functions are first class objects in scheme so you don't need eval:

1 ]=> (define plus +)

;Value: plus

1 ]=> (plus 2 3)

;Value: 5

HTH
