[racket] Delete Nth Term

3 versions, all pass the test suite. Now write the function 

 pick-one-of-three : [List X X X] -> X 

and turn in. 




#lang racket

(require rackunit)

;; Nat [Listof X] -> [Listof X]
;; delete the n-th item from l, if there is one 

(module+ 
  test
  (check-equal? (deleteNth 4 '()) '())
  (check-equal? (deleteNth 0 '(a b c)) '(b c))
  (check-equal? (deleteNth 3 '(a b c)) '(a b c))
  (check-equal? (deleteNth 2 '(a b c)) '(a b)) )

(define (deleteNth n l)
  (cond
    [(= n 0) (rest l)]
    [(< n (length l)) (append (take l n) (rest (drop l n)))]
    [else l])
  #;
  (cond 
    [(empty? l) l]
    [(zero? n) (rest l)]
    [else (cons (first l) (deleteNth (sub1 n) (rest l)))])
  #;
  (cond
    [(and (zero? n) (empty? l)) l]
    [(and (positive? n) (empty? l)) l]
    [(and (zero? n) (cons? l)) (rest l)]
    [(and (positive? n) (cons? l)) (cons (first l) (deleteNth (sub1 n) (rest l)))]))
