I wanted to create a files students could require and thought I'd include signatures in case some precocious students look at the file. Is there support for
(: name (input -> output))
in some module I can require? Using one of the teaching languages works, but then I can't provide the helper function.
You can add
(require racket)
to your file and then provide is available.
In general, you could create the following teachpack:
#lang racket
(provide provide)
name it “provide.rkt” and have your students split programs into files. (That’s not really modular programming but it’s a small step.)
Thanks. I feel dumb.
