[plt-scheme] to define, or to let

Syntax: <Bindings> should have the form ((<variable1> <init1>) ...),

One restriction on letrec is very important: it must be possible to 
evaluate each <init> without assigning or referring to the value of any 
<variable>. If this restriction is violated, then it is an error.

Welcome to DrScheme, version 206p1.
Language: Standard (R5RS).
