Pragmatics of lambda

The guideline for using <#66126#><#32760#>lambda<#32760#>-expression<#66126#>s is straightforward: rawhtml41 Guideline on Lambda Expressions rawhtml42 Use <#66127#><#32761#>lambda<#32761#>-expression<#66127#>s when a function is not recursive and is only referred to once (in an argument position). rawhtml43 If we were to apply the guideline to the programs in the preceding sections, we would quickly see how much <#66128#><#32762#>lambda<#32762#><#66128#> simplifies the use of abstracted functions. For that reason, Scheme offers many abstracted functions in its libraries. In future sections, we will encounter many more examples where <#66129#><#32763#>lambda<#32763#>-expression<#66129#>s are convenient.
