Hi, @Shasvi. Welcome!

With what are you having trouble when using DrRacket; is the UI confusing, is this your first time programming (or in a lisp/scheme dialect)?

You mention that you're writing an exam, and that you have a paper from a previous one. Did your instructor provide any other texts to help explain the material?

yes, it is my first time programming ever.  
I have past papers with solutions and slides.  
I'm looking for someone who can explain the basis and the solutions of the past papers.  
thanks.

For beginners, a supplement or alternative to books/lecture notes is the excellent online video course [How to Code](https://learning.edx.org/course/course-v1:UBCx+HtC1x+2T2017/home).The first two modules ("Beginning Student Language" and "How to Design Functions") can be worked in about 15 hours.
