Hi there,

I want to map/reduce a vector:

(reduce #'+
(map 'vector
#'(lambda(x) BODY )
)
)

However, BODY has alternating signs for the
terms to be added up (first term is positive,
second is negative, third is positive,....).
One could definitely do this with some global/state
variable in the lambda.

But I guess there's a much more elegant
alternative in LISP. Any hints?

(defun example (vector)
(loop for index below (length vector)
sum (* (svref vector index)
(- 1 (* (rem index 2) 2)))))

Gauche Scheme

"!" is similar to "do".

(define (example vec)
(! (sum + (* x sign)
sign 1 (- sign)
x :across vec)
(not x)))

(example #(400 2 500 3))
