Easy:

Here are two purpose statements for a function:

  ;; change the given posn to reflect a one-tick move of the object
  ;; assuming the object moves right at 3 pixels/clock tick

  ;; create a posn to reflect a one-tick move of the object
  ;; assuming the object moves right at 3 pixels/clock tick

  (define (move p)
    (make-posn (+ (posn-x p) 3) (posn-y p)))

-- Matthias
